[Wikimediaau-l] warning on the wiki

[Craig Franklin]

I believe that the chapter wiki uses a third-party extension so that we can
access Commons.  In my experience, this extension is a bit flaky and
sometimes causes problems.  I don't have access to the code, but I'd say
it's trying (and failing) to open a connection to Commons to load the image,
and it's waiting until the remote call fails before it serves the page
(which explains the lag).

 

If the problem is on Commons' end, it should hopefully clear itself up, if
it's on our end though it might be something for Werdna to have a look at.

 

Cheers,

Craig F.

well... being a technical genius 'n all - I identified the problem as due to
the wiki source logo - and I changed Image: to File: - something tells me
that this is nothing to do with why the problem went away.. but it has.

I've been chipping away a bit on the wiki, and thought I should probably
report this error which now appears at the top of the page;

I hope I didn't break anything.....
