This link also fails: ​https://wiki.osgeo.org/w/index.php?search=advocate

[darkblueb]

there is a wiki page called "Logs" with some optional searches.. I dbb looked briefly at "recent protection" "orphaned pages" or something that shows errors .. but nothing about Advocates and nothing unusual -- no clues

​https://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Category:Advocacy

This page has a link, but also 404 you can see this existed at one time, here ​https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Advocacy

"OSGeo Advocate" is listed among "All Pages" but the link fails

[darkblueb]

this page seems OK

I ran into other pages also failing. Not sure if they are still relevant or not. Looking at their history they appear in the logs in 2010 and 2017:

​https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Executive_Positions

​https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Special:Log?type=&user=&page=Executive+Positions&pattern=1&wpdate=&tagfilter=&wpfilters%5B%5D=patrol&wpfilters%5B%5D=tag&wpfilters%5B%5D=newusers&wpfilters%5B%5D=smw

And: ​https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Director_Responsibilities

​https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Special:Log?type=&user=&page=Director+Responsibilities&pattern=1&wpdate=&tagfilter=&wpfilters%5B%5D=patrol&wpfilters%5B%5D=tag&wpfilters%5B%5D=newusers&wpfilters%5B%5D=smw

Did we lose Wiki content without it getting noticed?

[ticheler]

The pages have been Archived, looking here: ​https://wiki.osgeo.org/w/index.php?title=Special:ListRedirects&limit=20&offset=200

No need to recover them! Problem solved for me.

[darkblueb]

is there => news?

I noticed advocacy is working on staging and so is Neteler's page he complained he couldn't edit, I seem to be able to get to edit screen on staging.

​https://staging.wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_Advocate ​https://staging.wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Executive_Positions #takes me to archived though on staging.

Both staging and production are running the same version and should have all the same plugins enabled though I did not verify ​https://staging.wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Special:Version

So my guess is some edit with one of the template might have messed something up. I'll restore the wiki database on staging to confirm this is a data issue, but before doing that we should probably care templates between what's in wiki staging and production, to rule out a faulty page template.

Just a note some templates I can't access on production.

Like this one I can edit fine in staging:

​https://staging.wiki.osgeo.org/w/index.php?title=Template:OSGeoAdvocateMap-ask&action=edit

But not in production, just hangs

Replying to robe:

I just checked today:

• ​https://staging.wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Markus_Neteler: Edit -> Saving -> okay
• ​https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Markus_Neteler: Edit -> just blank, empty page

[darkblueb]

today I searched for "meet" in the general search bar of the MediaWiki instance. First try, not logged in; second try, logged in.

both times the search failed with an error page "cannot handle this request" ?

[robe]

I was wrong about this being a data issue. I just restored production database on staging and it works fine still. I'm not ruling out database corruption of some sort which might have not affected the database dump.

[robe]

Sadly running optimize on the tables did not do it. My next brute force thing, given I can't see a difference between staging and prod, is to drop the db and recreate. This will require me taking wiki offline for a couple of minutes while I do that.

[robe]

Should be fixed now, had to disable the AccessControl plugin put in in #2991. I'm going to reopen that ticket.
