Important: Database maintenance completed

Hi everyone,

I have completed maintenance on the database in relation to its shrinking. Non-current revisions are now compressed in the database, being successfully decompressed per need by PHP's zlib. This was necessary as the large size and very long text in the mw_text database would cause production issues sooner or later.

Please report if any older revisions are now corrupted in some way or another. I've surfed the site and I do not see any corruptions, but it's best to be notified now and restore as soon as possible in case things are wrong.

Best regards, --Rat in a cage (talk) 13:06, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

The Clone

Hello, there is a user called Porto2008 which came back with a named clone Marcu Andrei that vandalizes TV lists (List of digital channels on Vodafone Romania), replacing Baby TV with another channel that is not in the grid.

Regards, --Rat in a cage (talk) 08:28, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

@Rat in a cage: Thanks, but could you also ban his secondary account, Porto2008, as after his temporary block he will likely return on that account? IceCoolExtreme (talk) 12:32, 07 April 2024 (UTC)

@IceCoolExtreme: I didn't ban Porto2008 because based on editing patterns and the technical evidence I have, there is a good chance that Marcu Andrei and Porto2008 are two different people. Regards, --Rat in a cage (talk) 12:44, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

SD channels missing on List of channels on Sky Q (United Kingdom & Ireland)

What happened to the list of SD channels that are in the 800s? It seems they have gone completely from TVCL. This is also a problem with channels that are subscription only in HD but free in SD (e.g. Sky News) --Aetnla (talk) 10:18, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

@Aetnla: Seems they had been removed by JasonTheJester Special:Diff/171010/171455 a year ago. @CillBill, Disco:, thoughts? --Rat in a cage (talk) 10:23, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

I don't have Sky anymore so rarely go on here but I have a friend that does so still find this channel list useful. It's incomplete without the SD channels so am annoyed with this. --Aetnla (talk) 10:58, 18 April 2024 (UTC) EDIT: I have just found they are hidden under where it says secondary channels.--Aetnla (talk) 13:08, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
