First pull request!
A new milestone for WikiApiary. The very first pull request was made to some of the code on Github. Very small change, but great to see someone looking at it and contributing! Thanks Philip Becker! 🐝 thingles (talk) 17:01, 8 May 2013 (UTC)

Upcoming server maintenance
Just a note to let people know that sometime soon I expect to move the database for WikiApiary to another server. Right now everything for WikiApiary and all of Farm:Thingelstad.com run on a single box and the load is getting a bit much. I expect the process to take about 2 hours during which I'll be setting  and suspending all bots. 🐝 thingles (talk) 19:37, 8 May 2013 (UTC)

Extensions with protocol-relative URLs
Mark Hershberger mentioned that there were a number of extensions showing an error with their URL. It turns out a few extensions report their URL using a protocol relative URL. I'll avoid editorializing on the wisdom of that and instead just put a handler for this in User:Bumble Bee. Now any extension URL that starts with "//" will have  prepended to it. Note that this only impacts the Template:Extension in use template that is used to aggregate data for extensions. Mainly this change will just remove warnings, it won't change any information on extensions statistics, counts or versions. When I put this fix in there were 606 Property:Has extension URLs with Property:Has improper value fors. Over the next day as Bumble Bee updates extension information this should drop dramatically. The current value is . 🐝 thingles (talk) 15:30, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

Site seems really slow
I've been trying to add the Club Penguin Wiki Network wikis to Wikiapiary, since I'm staff there.

However, the site is being very slow for me. I get about 40ms ping, so it can't be my internet connection, but the server. time curl http://wikiapiary.com tells me it took 4.199s one time for the site to load and then afterwards sticks around 2-2.5s.

Any other clues as to why it's being slow? I have a host I can recommend if you run out of choices, I use them for my wikis and they are great. --Tux (talk) 05:32, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
