Main page contents doesnt updates for non-loged users, this problem has been happening months/years ago and is very annoying. I think it started at the time euss reorganized the page and was one of the meassures made with the purpose of reducing the server load, i discussed this with him lot of time ago, also with roxanne later, but still there is no solution. If is not going to be posible to update the main page by users or admins please take a look at it implement some script or some meassure to update it periodically without human intervention. P.S. the problem is not in my browser or my PC i discussed this months ago with roxanne, it happens to all registered users when loged-off, and of course to all non registered users--[[User:Sandungas|Sandungas]] ([[User talk:Sandungas|talk]]) 14:29, 16 May 2017 (UTC) | |||
Also, im an admin but i cant edit this page (the web browser returns an error)... im wondering if there is some kind of error in how the main page was made, or if is consequence of roxanne that likes to change the permissions of other admins--[[User:Sandungas|Sandungas]] ([[User talk:Sandungas|talk]]) 14:29, 16 May 2017 (UTC) | |||
* Hello Sandungas, | |||
* I don't know for 100% why it isn't possible to edit the [[Main Page]] and to be honest I can't remember when we talked about this since this is the first time I saw this problem but ok, maybe I forgot it, sorry for that. | |||
* On PS4 Wiki it works fine but the interesting thing on PS3 Wiki is when you want to create a new page or when you want to edit a existing page and paste the same code from the [[Main Page]], then you will get the same HTTP 500 error as when editing the [[Main Page]] itself (you can try it by yourself if you want by removing the "<nowiki><pre></nowiki>"-Tags on [[User talk:Roxanne/Main|this]] page). | |||
* I will try to catch the [[User:Admin|Admin]] and if so, I will explain him this problematic. | |||
* I can't edit the [[Main Page]] neither and I can't remember when I edited your User rights permissions but ok, I guess I should ignore your last sentence --> http://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/index.php?title=Special%3AUserRights&user=Sandungas --- [[User:Roxanne|Roxanne]] ([[User talk:Roxanne|talk]]) 20:12, 16 May 2017 (GMT +2) | |||
To be clear, the fact that the main page cant be edited is not really a problem because in the practise we dont need to do that, the real problem is the templates displayed in it are an old version when you "log out" (and for all non registered users). The weird thing is when you "log in" the templates are displayed correctly, we was talking about it because i reported it before (somewhere i dont remember, or maybe was when talking in irc), my trick to "force" the main page to update was to edit it (adding an space character or removing it) but it seems now i cant do it for some reason. My comment about you changing permissions was because that but sorry if that was not the cause i had in mind you was changing some permissions time ago--[[User:Sandungas|Sandungas]] ([[User talk:Sandungas|talk]]) 17:38, 17 May 2017 (UTC) | |||

* I know for myself that this is also only a silly workaround but my goal with the [[Template:Highlights|Highlights]] template was, as the name suggests, to Highlight the newest edits on this wiki, so new users would even see such newest entries like the [[CFW2OFW Compatibility List]] and so on. | |||
* I thought about to do this for every month but any other suggestions are welcome (first I planned to integrate newest entries like it works with the [[News]] template/page but I didn't had the time to do this so I created a quick solution).

Problems
Main page outdate problems
Main page contents doesnt updates for non-loged users, this problem has been happening months/years ago and is very annoying. I think it started at the time euss reorganized the page and was one of the meassures made with the purpose of reducing the server load, i discussed this with him lot of time ago, also with roxanne later, but still there is no solution.

- Hello Sandungas,
- I don't know for 100% why it isn't possible to edit the Main Page and to be honest I can't remember when we talked about this since this is the first time I saw this problem but ok, maybe I forgot it, sorry for that.
- On PS4 Wiki it works fine but the interesting thing on PS3 Wiki is when you want to create a new page or when you want to edit a existing page and paste the same code from the Main Page, then you will get the same HTTP 500 error as when editing the Main Page itself (you can try it by yourself if you want by removing the "<pre>"-Tags on this page).
- I will try to catch the Admin and if so, I will explain him this problematic.
- I can't edit the Main Page neither and I can't remember when I edited your User rights permissions but ok, I guess I should ignore your last sentence --> http://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/index.php?title=Special%3AUserRights&user=Sandungas --- Roxanne (talk) 20:12, 16 May 2017 (GMT +2)

Table styles
Another recurrent problem that has been happening months/years ago is the style used in wiki tables, for lot of time we was using tables that had a header with a blueish color (and im not sure if other details i dont remember), but at some point the tables (of all pages) became much more simple, later the problem was fixed for some months, and some months later the problem returned, nowadays the problem exists since some months ago.

- For this problematic I can remember that we talked about this and I sent this problematic to the Admin but maybe he didn't found the time to look for that
- I will try to catch the Admin for this problematic too Roxanne (talk) 20:12, 16 May 2017 (GMT +2)
This was fixed after the talk we had when i reported the problem (and some months later the problem has returned back), but what i dont know if what you did to fix it (other than advising defyboy)... i mean im not sure if we can fix it eventually if it happens again or is something that can be fixed only by defyboy--Sandungas (talk) 17:38, 17 May 2017 (UTC)
OLD main page
