Full Moon

I know there's no such thing as "finished" on a wiki, but as of today we have no Wanted Pages in the Bloodmoon namespace and neither are there any BM pages needing Cleanup, Verification, Images, or Maps. No BM pages are Incomplete, Works in Progress or need Userfication. We don't even have any Questions Needing Answers relating to the BM namespace. In other words... I think there's room to call our Bloodmoon section "Provisionally Complete".

There are probably many pages that can be tweaked for completeness and accuracy but the basic information is all present. I think everybody who has contributed to the Bloodmoon namespace can give themselves a pat on the back! –Rpeh  10:59, 23 November 2008 (EST)

 

Slow site

Can anyone tell me if they're experiencing very long load times like I am? I'm pretty sure it's not my internet or computer, because everything else works fine. Is something wrong with the site? I apologize if this is the wrong place to post this, but it seemed like that's what this page is for. --98.213.150.63 16:56, 17 February 2009 (EST)
: Yes, the site was very slow and has only just recovered. From the occasional server status page I got to load it appears that somebody was trying to download a copy of the site: there were lots of simultaneous accesses to several different Morrowind potions for instance, and later on to scrolls. Note to anybody trying to download the site: it's a stupid idea because of all the "redirects to broader subjects" we use, but if you really, really want a static copy of a dynamic site, please use only one or two threads. –Rpeh  03:06, 18 February 2009 (EST)
::Wow, I hope their cable company throttles their bandwidth in revenge :P --98.213.150.63 01:26, 19 February 2009 (EST)
:::The site still seems to be slow every so often, but not nearly as much as when I posted that (I was that IP.) I saw the upgrade page, does this mean the site is still having problems? --Macros the Black 16:54, 24 February 2009 (EST)

::::I'm not exactly sure of the cause of the site issues in the past few weeks. I, and others, have noticed people abusing the site in various ways that basically use up all the available CPU power. The site itself has always been CPU limited which can be seen during peak traffic hours. I'm trying to implement something on the cache (squid1) to help prevent one or two sites from taking over as well as order some new servers to setup a load balancing configuration for the content server. The first is easy and already done...just have to monitor and tweak it as needed. The latter is more involved but should increase the overall responsiveness of the site for logged in users (who always bypass the squid cache). -- Daveh 21:41, 24 February 2009 (EST)

Oblivion:Mage Apprentice page

It seems there is something wrong with that page. If I try to enter, all that shows is a white page. Codex 12:36, 21 February 2009 (EST)
: That's probably the old cache bug. I just purged the page - try again now. –Rpeh  12:38, 21 February 2009 (EST)
:: That did it. Thanks. Codex 16:47, 21 February 2009 (EST)

Oblivion: Merchants page

Same as the problem described above. The Merchants page is blank.--220.235.133.253 12:41, 22 February 2009 (EST)
: Okay I purged that one too. Should be okay now. –Rpeh  12:53, 22 February 2009 (EST)
:: Hmmm... odd... didn't seem to work. Any other suggestions? (I have tried Shift-F5 on my end) --220.235.133.253 13:10, 22 February 2009 (EST)
::: I've tried again, but the site is very busy at the moment. You might just have to wait until it's less busy. Sunday afternoons/evenings are never good for performance. –Rpeh  13:31, 22 February 2009 (EST)
:::: Thanks. Working now --220.235.133.253 07:45, 23 February 2009 (EST)
::::: Good. I purged the page again a little while ago but I was waiting until I could load it before posting... I think my company's proxy server is having a fit over it. –Rpeh  08:04, 23 February 2009 (EST)

 

Sanguine Talk
I've had some issues that wound up making me fail this quest in my current game (succeeded before) I've been visiting the page ( a bit.  There's a lot of text on the talk page, and I tried a bit of reordering to make it easier to find information.  I'm probably part of the problem for posting in frustration, but I think it might be worth someone with a bit more seniority / investment in the wiki cleaning it up a bit, or maybe the article too, to make the page & talk more useful for those having problems with it.  The very volume of chatter suggests that there's interest in the issues.--DoubleGrande 22:54, 3 March 2009 (EST)

:I edited that talk page before I saw this comment.  This wiki uses chronological order for discussion pages, so I did that, and archived the conversations over a year old.  If there's information on that page that's useful in completing the quest, it should be integrated into the article.  Go ahead and give it a shot yourself; worst case scenario is that it's reverted...  ;)  --GuildKnight  00:28, 4 March 2009 (EST)

::Thanks.  Now that I've verified the arrest, charm the guards, and escape scenarios and Hermaeus Mora I tried to add a relatively short note to the notes section explaining exactly when the Countess becomes non-essential and that the loss of the Sanguine Rose is the only long term impact on a game.--DoubleGrande 06:02, 7 March 2009 (EST)
