Propose rename

I propose to rename this article 'Introduction to uk.d-i-y Wiki' and then to put a redirect here to the contents page, so that first time visitors go straight to contents (Special:Allpages). This is currently being discussed on uk.d-i-y NT 13:37, 15 August 2008 (BST)

Serious Errors

A couple of pages return only

"Internal Server Error, this is an error with your script, check your error log for more information."

One such is Hammer. The error occurred after I put some pic names in with spaces in them by mistake. I corrected them, but no change. I deleted the article and reinstated it as Hammer rather than Hammers - for some reason the error has followed it to the new article name, although I cant find any fault in the wikicode.

Googling the error msg got me nowhere, and searching wikipedia (which also uses wikimedia) ditto.

Any ideas?? NT 00:57, 13 September 2008 (BST)

I mentioned this to Grunff the other day. He was going to look into it.

An image, Hatchet_622-3.jpg, returns a server error, and its presence on the hammer page was the cause of the problem on that page. I deleted the image and the link to it, now the rest of the page displays fine. But why the wiki has a problem with the image I dont know... too bloodthirsty maybe? It displays no prob on my software, and was created / edited / named the same way as a lot of other images on this wiki.

There is another image somewhere causing the same problem. If you spot which article its on let me know, and I should be able to find and remove the problem image. What the cause is and how to fix it I dont yet know.

Meanwhile I'll try uploading the hatchet image in another form so its available for anyone able to troubleshoot. NT 11:24, 13 September 2008 (BST)
