Unable to Update

Hi I noticed your comment about problems with updating. There's basically 2 solutions to this. First is to make sure you are logging in from the following address: http://mhwiki.hitgrab.com/wiki/index.php/MouseHunt_Wiki. If you are accessing the page through the MH Toolbar, don't use that to do edits. There'll be some problems.

If you are still facing problems, it could be that your IP address keeps changing between edits and page views. In that case, you will need to enable a proxy server to proceed with any further edits.

Hope that helps :) I know you might have difficulty replying this too, so feel free to message me on facebook. -- Grexx 14:48, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the quick response. I actually researched this matter on other Wikis and tried what they have to say. I don't really know what happened, but I can suddenly edit now. Starting from when I first replied at Brossow's talk page. --14:52, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Ok good to know you've managed to solve your problem! -- Grexx 14:53, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Suggestions

By the way, you can use an extra page to do the work rather than on your user page. Most users use a sandbox page, something like User:Grexx/Sandbox. You could create your own using User:Mikeyco/Sandbox, and add the link to your user page.

As for the edit problem, do check that you are using the correct wiki address. There are 2 addresses, one starting with mhwiki.hitgrab.com and the other starting with mousehunt.hitgrab.com. Make sure you are using the first one. -- Grexx 17:35, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

That explains most of the problems I'm having. I'm using the second domain. Sometimes, I also get logged-out for no reason at all (my IP address didn't change). --Mikeyco 17:38, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Yes I had the exact problem. The 2nd link comes from the toolbar, while the first link comes from the lore tab on the game itself. Getting logged out is due to the same issue. If you're doing editing work, you'll need to stick to the first address. -- Grexx 17:40, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your help! I'll be going over most of the pages in the next couple of hours so this should help a lot. --Mikeyco 17:42, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Maps & Keys

Don't forget about the respective redirects to the new page. Additionally, there's one thing I want to point out. It's ok to have a link to a redirect. It's no different from a section link. In fact linking to the original name itself is usually a better idea, since section names can be changed more easily. Also, that beats having to update multiple articles that link to the same page. An example would be using [[Maps and Keys#Keeper's Candle|Keeper's Candle]], when [[Keeper's Candle]] would suffice. -- Grexx 13:16, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
