FamilySearch Wiki:Known Issues

'''The purpose of the pages it for Wiki management to communicate any known issues in FamilySearch Wiki. The most recent issues are at the top of the list:

Access Denied Exception
Some wiki pages are giving the error, "Access Denied Exception" instead of showing the content on the page. This is a result of an image appearing on the page that has been resized previously. This is a result of our permissions problem with some images. If the sizing is removed from the image, the wiki page will re-appear.

If you have trouble saving a page and get the "Access Denied Exception" error, it is because you have sized an image on the wiki page or template. If the sizing is removed, the page will save.

Sizing of Images
It has been reported that some images do not change in size when given the correct wikitext code. Once the Upload Images problems have been resolved, engineers will work on this problem and we can fill you in with more details. Thanks for your patience. Batsondl (talk) 17:35, 29 December 2016 (UTC) This problem has been resolved by wiki engineers. Batsondl (talk) 20:47, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

Upload Images
As of Tuesday, December 20, 2016, we have been unable to upload any images to the wiki. The Upload File/Image link does work and we do receive the Salesforce case. However, the ability to upload an image directly to the Wiki does not work. Engineers are working on it but because of the holidays, it may not be fixed until after January 1, 2017.

This problem has been resolved by wiki engineers. Batsondl (talk) 20:47, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

Incorrect Font for Headings 3 and Headings 4
The FamilySearch website changed their font and it is overriding the css code for the wiki. Headings 3 and 4 now are different fonts and look smaller than the normal text on the page. Text in bullet lists also are smaller font. It is on the list for the wiki engineers to fix. Batsondl (talk) 15:42, 15 December 2016 (UTC)

Headings 3 and 4 have been fixed in the English wiki. However, we are still working on the font. Once engineers fix this, we will fix the other language wikis. Batsondl (talk) 05:09, 12 January 2017 (UTC)

All headings and font are now correct on the wiki. Batsondl (talk) 20:19, 22 February 2017 (UTC)

Upload File/Image
The Upload File/Image link to submit images to be uploaded to the wiki has not been working since November 1 and submissions made were not received by Wiki management. Any submissions made between November 1 to the present need to be re-sent to this [mailto:wikisupport@familysearch.org email.] Your request will be processed within 48 hours. Batsondl (talk) 22:45, 12 December 2016 (UTC)

UPDATE: As of 12/13/2016 the Upload File/Image link is now working! Please resubmit any images that you sent us after November 1, 2016. Batsondl (talk) 22:03, 13 December 2016 (UTC)

VisualEditor Inserting Images feature
The VisualEditor insert an image feature is not working at this time. Engineers believe it is related to the re-uploading problem in the Wiki. The current workaround is to use Wikitext code to add the image to the page. Instructions on how to do so are found in the Wiki University. Batsondl (talk) 18:09, 24 November 2016 (UTC)

Images missing on the wiki
Currently, there are images missing from the wiki. Engineers are actively working on the problem. We expect them to all return soon.

UPDATE: to resolve this issue, click on the "edit source" and immediately save the page. Somehow this renames the path of the image and it will display on the page.Batsondl (talk) 18:09, 24 November 2016 (UTC)

This has been resolved by wiki engineers.Batsondl (talk) 20:47, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

Upload File/Image
The link to submit images to be approved and loaded on the wiki currently does not work. To submit images to the wiki in the meantime, send them to: [mailto:wikisupport@familysearch.org wikisupport@familysearch.org] Batsondl (talk) 16:55, 14 November 2016 (UTC)

Uploading Images
For those with Reviewer and Moderator roles in the wiki, the Upload File link only works with some images. Some give an error. Unfortunately, re-loading a version of an image does not work at all. The engineers are currently working on both issues and believe they are related.

Workaround: If you get an error when uploading an image, try renaming the image to a shorter version or even re-save the image to .jpg. Sometimes the system will let you upload the image. Batsondl (talk) 17:10, 9 November 2016 (UTC)
