I mixed up right and left :/
You had a vertical bar on the left side with main links, "what links here", etc - now it's gone

I guess it's part of updating to ugly "modern" wiki : (

any chance of returning it back?

I think Nathaniel will handle that in the near future.

Unfortunately it looks like there's less I can do than you might expect. I have made a change to try to force the left navigation menu to stay stuck to the left, but it's only partially supported.

There are two collapsible navigation menus that now seem to be collapsed by default. At the top-left of the wiki, there is a three-line button. Clicking it opens up the left navigation bar (containing Recent changes and other related links). There is a button in that menu to pin it to the left side of the wiki. Near the top-right of the wiki is a "Tools" menu that can similarly be pinned, but as far as I can tell it can only be pinned on the right side rather than the left, which is... well, I don't personally like it.

Will dig some more.

Whenever I search something and it automatically redirects to a page, this notice pops up at the top:
LifeWiki wrote:Notice: Unexpected clearActionName after getActionName already called in /home/njohnsto/conwaylife/w/includes/context/RequestContext.php on line 318
I have no idea what it means, but there doesn't seem to be anything wrong happening visually, as far as I can tell.

Could you also bring back the LifeWiki logo? It's nowhere to be seen in the main page.

Code: Select all

#C [[ THEME Golly ]]
x = 27, y = 15, rule = LifeHistory

Is this fixed now? I can't reproduce it. If it's still happening, let me know a specific search term that is bringing up this message.

Logo is back now, but due to MediaWiki's changes it looks different than it used to.

Edit: Success! Back to looking the way it used to!

I confirm, left navigation menu is back and looks good. Thank you!

(I was so scared that design would've followed/been forced to follow the wikipedia's bad decisions)
