Welcome

Hello, I noticed you've started editing the wiki to correct some template uses and just wanted to welcome you since you're the first new non-IP editor we've had for a while. Are you just passing by, or are you aiming to be a regular editor? Either way, but especially if you're aiming to be a regular, I recommend joining the Discord server as it's where we have most of our conversations about the wiki.

Reply: Welcome

Hello, and thank you for the welcome. I've visited the site a few times and figured I might want to start looking into it more. I'm not sure yet about how active I'll be, but I will definitely join the discord if I decide to stick around.

Alright, well I obviously hope you stick around considering we could do with more editors, but I get it if you don't. The link to join the Discord server is on the sidebar as a widget if you didn't see it. Have fun editing! TheDemon08 (talk) 01:18, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

Zoom

When Zolomon saw Thawne, he had said "You're Harry Wells, You helped the Flash defeat me" if it was the Earth-Prime one, he wouldn't know who Harry is, There is even a flashback of Zoom trying to kill the multiverse, That never happened post-crisis because there wasn't a multiverse, Our wiki even confirms Zolomon wasn't Zoom on Earth-Prime. -IH

Hey there IH. I’m not sure what you mean by the wiki confirming that Zolomon was never Zoom on Earth-Prime. If you check the whiteboard that appeared in Marathon, you’ll see that Cisco writes on it that Zoom came from the Singularity in the New Multiverse. As for his reference to Harry, that can easily be explained as the timeline needing each version of Wells to exist and so recreating them, like how Nash was recreated Post-Crisis.

On another note, are you IHHeroes from the Arrowverse Wiki? If so, I’d like it if we could talk over Discord. There’s a link to the server on the sidebar, or if you’d like to message me privately my username is TheDemon08#2203. • TheDemon08 • Talk 16:39, 26 May 2023 (UTC)

I think we should merge Thawne's pages

Because the Negative Speed Force wasn't even affected by Crisis, his body is from the Negative Speed Force, his home universe still remains Earth-1.

Broken website domains

A short while ago (in the previous months, Sept. to Oct. '23), the wiki (previously hosted at http://dcmultiversewiki.com ) was down while moving its domain to http://dcmultiverse.wikiforge.net . However, when editing recently, the domain http://dcmultiversewiki.com is now live again, where the edits initially seem to synchronise with http://dcmultiverse.wikiforge.net (as for page moves), but it may be a sign that one of these websites will move and possibly close down the other. Is it known which website will be preferred? Otherwise the wiki may break (at least on my client end) for months, as was done with http://dcmultiverse.dcwikis.com moving to http://dcmultiversewiki.com (and all Miraheze-hosted images moving to WikiForge. The URLs otherwise remain much the same besides the name change at the top domain.) Daxamite (talk) 10:13/21, 9 November 2023 (UTC)

Yes, for a while the site was down, and it was for some reason more stable not using our custom domain url for whatever reason, which is why we switched back to the wikiforge default. However, now that it's stable again, we've decided to go back to our custom one. I realize that some edits were lost due to the change (I myself had to recreate a few pages I had done just before the site crashed) but everything has mostly transferred. As you may have noticed, I'm currently going through and moderating the edits you made that have yet to be approved. Sorry about the delay. NickNickleby (talk) 22:56, 9 November 2023 (UTC)

The image links seem to have changed from http://static.wikiforge.net to http://static.your.wf . However, the image links do not seem to work on any of my computers, no matter where I travel around the world, or even within Sydney, NSW, Australia. This means that I cannot see the images, at least on current network visibility. Also, some of my edit summaries don't seem to be going through (ignore the ones with far more suitable alternatives), even if I check an edit and it was an automated script that performs manually tedious tasks. For example, I still cannot see File:Mon-El (Earth-Prime) 002.png (where I at least want to save it: an option is to restore it for just 24hr, and then delete it again.

As I have posted on my own user page, I also work at the Arrowverse wiki, where I usually source much higher-quality images here to import there. Such is the case with File:Central City (Earth-90) 001.png, which is still waiting for an upload, as well as File:Central City Savings & Loan (Earth-Prime) 001.png, which I am still awaiting a move, to free up another file name.) Also, the File:Cold Gun (Earth-Prime) 001.png was deleted before I saw it, but I found an equivalent file with dimensions 735x462. What were the file's dimensions here, and if larger than 735x462, can it be temporarily restored? The same might apply to File:City Center, National City (Earth-Prime) 001.png: what did it look like, before it was deleted in preference of File:City Center, National City (Earth-38) 001.png?

It was a bus with the words "City Center" label on the top as its destination. Very similar to File:National City Transit (Earth-Prime) 001.png. NickNickleby (talk) 01:55, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

I advise a 24hr waiting period (for any potential files to be restored) in case our times of activity do not line up as usual. For me, anywhere from UTC 10/11PM to UTC 5/6AM works, if I am active then. What are your main activity times? You can answer in UTC or UTC-4/5, for your local time zone. I am usually at UTC+10/11 respectively/oppositely.) As currently: Daxamite (talk) 22:18, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

Current as of 17 Nov. '23: Today unexpectedly (approximately 11PM, your local time) the website crashed and returned a bad gateway/404 error for both domains. This may have resulted in a net loss of pending edits, as has happened previously before. Is it possible to recover any of them, as well as the deleted files mentioned above? I tend to notice that edits drop off after ~6AM UTC, but that is likely because you are sleeping and it is also approaching night for me. I will attempt to communicate with you on Discord if the site does not work again. Daxamite (talk) 10:20, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

THere is now a problem with the notice board, where I now cannot remove merges that are seemingly 'done': if there is a red link first, the line should be removed. Also, I have attempted to move some other pages, but others appear to have been prioritised first (however, they are still on the list - I will attempt/see to resolve this issue in a few hours). Daxamite (talk) 22:18, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

Earlier today our lead admin put that page under protection for only admins to edit. I don't know his reasoning for doing so, but I'm not going to do anything to contradict him. As for removing finished edits, I prefer waiting until I have a bunch done before I remove them, makes for less editing of the page, and I find it more satisfying to remove a lot at once. I'm approving your edits in moderation, but renaming is a lot more involved. They'll be out as soon as I can make the needed corresponding edits. NickNickleby (talk) 22:52, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

It can quickly become a problem when we attempt to edit at the same time immediately after a merge: but check the list to continue more page moves. Also, how do you add in appearances for original multiverse's versions of objects? Are they part of a pre-prepared list for 1/38/UE-20's version of the page, or are they selected/filtered from the overall season? Daxamite (talk) 02:02, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
