As requested by @TimeShade, this post is for tracking bugs related to the recent upgrade of the wiki to the UCP ("Unified Community Platform"). Please post any issues you find here with a description and preferably a link to a page that demonstrates the problem. Thanks!

Summer also includes earlier parts of June and the whole of August, which cannot be true given it has to be at least one year after the end of the Triwizard Tournament but before Harry's birthday. This precise wording was worked out years ago, but a random editor changed just the infobox info a couple years back and the discrepancy was only recently discovered. As always communication in Edit Summary notes and on Article Talk pages are the key to making a collaborative project work well. Cheers!

Hi all! I'm trying to gather up a list of outstanding bugs and issues that need FANDOM's attention and so wanted to check in if there are any specifically related to Discussions. I know there have been some short-comings with the Moderation tools that were problematic for some months recently - have these all been resolved? Are there other pain points that remain?
Feel free to reply here and I'll pass them along or add them directly to https://harrypotter.fandom.com/wiki/Forum:Ongoing_Requests_for_FANDOM_from_the_HP_wiki_community
PS - In looking around, I'd have to say that Discussions looks to be the most organized and well managed that I've ever seen. Posts sorted in their categories, solid discussions gathering community consensus, and helpful replies to questions abound (especially for critical issues as to the usefulness of the wiki's bread article ;) - nice work all!

Hey - I think this has been worked out - if you want to use the spell table that is now on Philosopher's Stone as a template it should help making similar lists of spells introduced in Chamber of Secrets, etc. Sorry for any previous confusion - as Reverb frost noted, all users are free to edit the wiki pages so please feel free to help improve the articles!

There are various Fantastic Beasts / Crimes of Grindelwald fonts you can use to achieve that text effect e.g. https://www.fontspace.com/crimes-of-grindelwald-font-f29446

Hey new Mods @CHT64 & @Sir memes a lot more than needed - Just a quick reminder that when blocking a user, it helps to add a link to a post that demonstrates the problematic behavior. This just makes it easier for other Mods or Admins to follow up as needed should there be any questions, complaints, or additional blocks (although in the recent case, a quick review of their full posting history made the case for the block abundantly clear).
Hope all is well, let me know if there are questions, and keep up the good work!

We're around, but as mentioned, Discussions is mostly handled by the awesome Discussions Mods who are better able to focus on this busy area.
Fanart is allowed, just be sure to choose the "Images & Links" category so they end up the most relevant "channel". Cheers!

That's a good question - @TimeShade ?

We have a problem with having two German interlinks, de and de2, with de2 not being recognized as a interwiki link. This too was noted in testing and affects others wikis as well - hopefully they can sort out a solution. Glad to hear most of your bugs have been squashed!

We've had a few lists of issues floating around during the testing - much of which has been resolved now thanks to some recent CSS changes for References, Table of Contents, and Template issues. If you post your errors, we might be able to help with some of them.

@Harrypotterexpert101 - Looks good overall! A couple minor suggestions:
"ask all of the interested users to nominate themselves for this position" - maybe "ask all of the potential nominees to state their interest in this position" to avoid confusing when a user is officially nominated?
"faint of hearts" should be "faint of heart"
#2 and #3 should be swapped IMO to go from the general "which other wikis are you on" to the specific "which do you have extra rights"
Otherwise, looks GTG to me!

^ditto - "howlers" is a nice touch!

1 - Whatever works best for you all
2 - If you all feel you need help and have some ideas on who might be able to do so, makes sense to me
3 - With the UCP change over, can we expand the number of Categories in Discussions by a few even if we don't have the custom Forums to migrate?

We have a long-running post for where everyone can share their house, wand, & patronus info.
