Please check the wiki and let me know if you can access it without issues.

I've been getting reports recently from people, that the LabVIEW Wiki is offline sometimes. I've never experienced this myself so I'm curious if people on here have noticed anything. Typically, the issue manifests with a 503 Service Unavailable message. I will investigate further this weekend when I have time, but just wanted to get some general idea.

Seems to work fine from here today and is very snappy too. Wish the NI site was even remotely as fast. 😀

same here, I don't check the wiki every day, on average I go 2-3 times a month, I never had issues.

Just checked and it seems responsive for me.  I'm not on it as much as I am on LAVA though.

No pb for me as well, neither today nor past times I consulted it. But all together I'm on it quite seldom.

[LogMAN]

Yes this happens sometimes. It typically fixes itself after reloading a few times.

To be fair, it never happened when actively browsing or editing pages. For me it mostly happens in the morning when I access it for the first time. And it manifests as a DNS lookup error.

The LabVIEW Wiki has received an update. Hopefully, it responds with fewer errors.

Happy New Year!

This is great! It certainly feels more responsive and modern.

File deletion now also works, which means that we can finally get rid of old inappropriate files

The TreeAndMenu extension is missing, however, which breaks certain pages:

• LabVIEW VI Analyzer Toolkit - LabVIEW Wiki
• Events - LabVIEW Wiki

Unfortunately, this extension had to be dropped. It's broken in MediaWiki 1.43. I'm investigating a fix.

[LogMAN]

Thanks. The extension has not been updated since 2021. It is, however, listed as "stable".

There is another issue, the list of recent changes is not updating: https://labviewwiki.org/wiki/Special:RecentChanges

The most recent change listed is from December 27th, 2024.

I fixed it. I had to disable an extension that was breaking that page for some reason.

Several others have reported it broken on the support page.

I did a quick test in a private MediaWiki instance and got it to work using the fix available on GitHub: Switch jquery.cookie to mediawiki.cookie by paladox · Pull Request #1 · debtcompliance/TreeAndMenu · GitHub

Thanks! That worked.
