Okay, our local javascript modifications have now been entirely turned off.[1] This outage will last until given the all-clear to turn javascript back on by Wikia, which hopefully will be by sometime on 16/9.
A ton of goodies will be gone including:
- spoiler protection
- the skin changer (it's all white backgrounds for a bit, unfortunately)
- the thing that makes titles italic
- preloadable page formats
- some things about the way tables look and behave on mouseover
- the archiving tool
Basically, most everything that makes the site different and kinda cooler than your bog-standard Wikia wiki is turned off.
Why are we doing this? Well, we've got a bit of a mystery on our hands about why some pages stretch to their maximum width (i.e. are fluid) and why others don't. Although our javasript has been pre-emptively cleared of guilt, we're just trying to make super-sure. By turning off all javascript for more than 24 hours, we're being extra-cautious and avoiding all possibility of caching errors.
- ↑ For the boffins out there, we had MediaWiki:Common.js turned off since yesterday. We've now turned of MediaWiki:Wikia.js, which will allow more than 24 hours to have elapsed by the start of business in Europe, Monday, 16/9. MediaWiki:Monobook.js remains on, since it has nothing to do with Darwin.
