Forum:Migration to UCP

Forums: Index > Watercooler > Migration to UCP

Introduction

We seem to have been migrated to UCP with major upgrades to our semantic extensions (which will be good when we get our heads around them). I have complained at https://community.fandom.com/f/p/4400000000003135932 --- Robin Patterson (Talk) 05:33, 27 April 2021 (UTC)

Semantic versions

[https://familypedia.wikia.org/wiki/Special:Version Familypedia today has :

• Semantic Drilldown 2.1
• SMW 3.1.666 - massive upgrade made possible by great advance in MediaWiki version - we will have to find what changes have been made
• Semantic Scribunto 2.1.0 - new!
• Page Forms 4.5.1 - successor to Semantic Forms

Problems

Forums

Forum header stuff now needs manual input. The coded version appears at the top. We can create a new forum by entering its page name then copying some code; not satisfactory. --- Robin Patterson (Talk) 05:59, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

Expert attentionseems to have fixed that, thank you! --- Robin Patterson (Talk) 11:29, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

Tables etc on person pages

• Siblings template has stopped displaying.Or you just get the heading in code if no parent page - https://familypedia.wikia.org/wiki/William_Collins_(1810-) (even after fresh edit). --- Robin Patterson (Talk) 13:25, 2 May 2021 (UTC)
• It also stopped displaying husband's children table on his wife's profile. Not showing children for Sally Lancy (1804-1886) MainTour (talk) 04:02, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
• Years in minibio can show as [[]] or just say "on an unknown date" at first viewing. --- Robin Patterson (Talk) 13:07, 2 May 2021 (UTC)
• Child table has no detail beyond name. https://familypedia.wikia.org/wiki/William_Collins_(1810-) --- Robin Patterson (Talk) 13:25, 2 May 2021 (UTC)
• Children Table has problem listing a child with multiple spouses. See Nicholas Snow (1599-1676) for example --- MainTour (talk) 03:38, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

Footnotes on person pages

https://familypedia.wikia.org/wiki/Jane_Ann_Wilson_(1875-1968) has a note for group 1 child but it doesn't show. It contains aninternal link; is that now a problem? --- Robin Patterson (Talk) 11:29, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

Descendants and trees

Descendants tab lists no descendants and tree page lists no ancestors. --- Robin Patterson (Talk) 05:33, 27 April 2021 (UTC)

I am seeing "tree pages" work, though sometimes it needs a couple of "refreshes" of the person page for the properties to "stick" Thurstan (talk) 10:25, 2 May 2021 (UTC)

https://familypedia.wikia.org/wiki/Susan_Collins_(living)/tree has had three null edits and still isn't showing her father. --- Robin Patterson (Talk) 10:38, 2 May 2021 (UTC). At last it shows her father but not his father, So I give her father's tree four null edits with no success; first click on his descendants tab didn't show Susan. Contrarily, another tree i clicked on was OK first time. Goodnight! --- Robin Patterson (Talk) 13:05, 2 May 2021 (UTC)

This one seems to be working well now. Thurstan (talk) 09:24, 9 May 2021 (UTC)

Our Manager has done a vast amount of work resulting in what looks like restoration of the descendants pages. --- Robin Patterson (Talk) 07:17, 9 May 2021 (UTC) - well, partly; https://familypedia.wikia.org/wiki/Thomas_Collins_(1876-1915)/descendants should have another generation or two. --- Robin Patterson (Talk) 11:29, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

Person sensor

Person sensor seems to be working, but you have to refresh the person profile page a couple of times for it to display. MainTour (talk) 03:40, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

Green quicklinks

Gone? Big nuisance. They were the jigsaw-puzzle pieces visible to the right of the edit box near the link for "show all templates". --- Robin Patterson (Talk) 10:38, 2 May 2021 (UTC)

Edit with form

"Edit with form" has disappeared. --- Robin Patterson (Talk) 05:33, 27 April 2021 (UTC) But Thurstan has recovered it (as noted below) so that the edit menu dropdown works as before. (Note that "Rename" has reverted to "Move".) --- Robin Patterson (Talk) 05:59, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

I have been using the "Edit Facts" links so I had not noticed. It is now fixed for Form:Person. Thurstan (talk) 04:28, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

Template:Migration

Looking at Henry Scrope, 6th Baron Scrope of Bolton (c1468-1506), I see that Property:Ancestry is being set, but not reported at all. Property:Notable ancestors seems to be broken, and is not being reported correctly. It looks like {{Sensor2Page}} is out by two characters. Thurstan (talk) 06:18, 8 May 2021 (UTC)

Preview

"Preview" button on forms generates an error message.

Tweaks in templates

I did notice two of my "tweaks" were removed from the templates, one to handle pagenames with commas, the other to handle pagenames with apostrophes. Keep a watch for errors in these areas.

A few good things

• Holy Smokes - The people pages update tons quicker. Almost instantly. That's a great improvement from before. MainTour (talk) 04:12, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
