Forum:Looking for Mac users

Trying to confirm a bug with the ArchiveTool. Are there any Mac users around (preferably also using Firefox or Safari) who could tell me whether they see an "Archive" option in the page controls (the green button with "Leave message" etc) of Oasis? Would be much appreciated. -- Porter21 (talk) 14:13, May 22, 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm using a Mac and yeah, I see it in Safari and Chrome. Ausir(talk) 23:37, May 22, 2011 (UTC)
 * I use IE8 on a pc, and I do not have the archive tool button.--Gothemasticator 02:48, May 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * That's weird. The option does appear for me when using IE8 (PC). -- Porter21 (talk) 06:14, May 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * Turns out the bug is not OS-related at all. Apparently, for a batch of editors a core MediaWiki variable ("wgAction") always contains a wrong value. Since ArchiveTool checks that variable, the wrong value causes the script not to run. So, it's actually not a bug with the script as the problem potentially affects other scripts as well.
 * If you're having problems with getting ArchiveTool to run, try adding the following to either Special:MyPage/wikia.js (to have it apply only on this wiki) or wikia:community:Special:MyPage/global.js (to have it apply on all Wikia wikis):

 /* Workaround for incorrect values of wgAction */ if (skin == "oasis" || skin == "wikia") { var locParam = location.href.substr(location.href.indexOf("action=")+7).split("&");

wgAction = (location.href.indexOf("action=") == -1) ? "view" : locParam[0]; }
 * Naturally, if ArchiveTool works fine for you, this fix is not needed ;) -- Porter21 (talk) 07:18, May 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * By the way, feedback from people using the fix would be appreciated so I can see whether it actually works for people suffering from the bug (which I don't, hence I can't test it myself). -- Porter21 (talk) 18:09, May 25, 2011 (UTC)

The fix didn't do anything for me on IE8. Still no archive button. But, Firefox shows the button just fine. And I finally archived my talk page as a result. And there was much rejoicing.--Gothemasticator 02:21, June 7, 2011 (UTC)
