Wiki News and Maintenance

[ka3jjz]

Hi all - while I may have been a bit lax on keeping things up to date here, there's been several folks who have been anything but, and putting some serious time on the Wiki of late.

• Frank has made some changes to the Programming Shortcut Pro-95 article

• Cubn has added some data for the Champaign and Bloomington Il. regional wikis. He's also added a huge amount of data
  to our Sports article

• j333_76484 has started up a project to monitor and document the
  Patuxent River Complex in southern Maryland. It's a big place, though - if you'd like to help please jump into the
  Patuxent River NAS thread on the Maryland forum

• Citation_Jet has added detail to the DC ANG 113th Fighter Wing article

• I've made various corrections to the Radio Shack scanner articles - the 20-289 serial cable is no longer either the RS or GRE
  websites. I also added links to the WPAScanner Wiki's Fire Tone Out Tutorial to the BCT15 and BCD996 articles on our wiki

• Scanner Freak has added some data, and made new articles, for the
  BCD396 AGC Tweak Procedures and the BCD996 AGC Tweak Procedures. He's also added data for the recent DSP upgrade for the PRO-96
  and PRO-2096

• ExpeditionRadio has added a bunch of information regarding the use of
  ALE usage in ham radio. This is a digital signalling mode that is much more widely used in the military - both
  in the US and abroad - and has found its way to many other users.

• RA5 has moved our PCR100 and PCR1000 articles to a more easily-located title.

Thanks to everyone who contributed! It's greatly appreciated by all the other users, myself included. 73s Mike

Problem with Wiki link at the top of the page, when I click it I get this:

MySQL functions missing, have you compiled PHP with the --with-mysql option?

My answer to that would be---Huh?

 

[blantonl]

we are having a small problem right now after an upgrade that I'm working on.

Wiki Pages with RR Wiki Extensions are down

Wiki pages with RR Wiki Extension embedded are not working the past few days...

(examples)
http://wiki.radioreference.com/index.php/San_Antonio
http://wiki.radioreference.com/index.php/National_Football_League

If you click on those links, the pages won't open in either Firefox or IE. All the other Wiki pages are working. I first noticed this problem yesterday (3/20) at lunch time.

I have deleted the ScanningArkansas.com website. There were links to my reviews in the wiki that I removed. If you find anymore links to that website, please remove them as they will not work. I tried to find all that I could and removed the ones I saw.

I still have the reviews and would like to post them to the wiki but wanted to get Lindsay's permission first. I don't want them to go to waste as several people have emailed me saying they were useful.

Thanks,

Matt

Matt I wouldn't presume to speak for Lindsay, but just from my own point of view, go for it. Your reviews were indeed interesting and it would be a shame to lose them.

In addition your milair listings could also be loaded to the wiki.

Anybody got an update?

Went to check on some pages and most will not load. I made heavy use of the RR extensions on these pages.

 

[ka3jjz]

Dunno Mike. Perhaps a note on the help desk is in order. I've noticed the same, but I've been kinda buried at work of late, and haven't had a moment to email Lindsay. I know he said he was working on some upgrades and having some issues (see thread above)

[blantonl]

I fixed this issue - it was a DNS problem on the wiki server... sorry about the issue folks.

 

[mikewazowski]

Can you take a look at this page Lindsay?

http://wiki.radioreference.com/index.php/Simcoe_County

Still won't load.

I tried emptying my cache but it still comes up as a totally blank page.

Thanks.

Yep, same for me when I try to load the pages that I'm working on with RR wiki extensions, they still don't open.

Seems to be working as of this morning.

 

[EJB]

Hullo: I tried to send in a page for Hamilton Ontario Fleetnet tower.
I signed up for the wiki and tried to type out a helpful guide for area users.
When I attempted to submit I was not allowed to. I lost all the work I sent in I think.

Signing in was extremely slow.

I will attempt to do this again, hopefully I can load it on this site.

I tried again. I created a Word document, explained it and tried to upload it.
Apparently, word docs are not 'liked' here. Please tell me what format you would like the information to be on and I will try again.

Word documents can be used, but you must realize that all formatting would be lost. You can only use the editing section for the page you wish to build, you cannot just upload anything; so you can copy/paste into the editing section. When I build a page, I used word (for spelling & grammar) but then after copying into the edit section, I format it according to Wiki rules. See the Quick guide to editing pages.

Ty Lou.

I will try to figure out what you are saying. I have never done anything with wiki before.
