h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

The title's fairly self-explanatory. It's not fatal, they're still there on search function and I still apparently wrote them when I look them up...

Is this some sort of hint to me to write more Entries?

Matt

PS The Entries are A3005001, A3187244, A3022101 and A3347084

That is most odd. They're definitely on your article list (see <./>MA739774</.&gt but not being displayed on your page (although they are there on the underlying XML we use to build it).

I'll take a look tomorrow to see if I can work out what's happening.

Could it be anything to do with a fix to remove multiple listings of some articles (where the person was referenced more than once)? I note they are all edited ones (with someone else as the sub in each case). That repeat listing of articles turned up as a bug some revisions ago for a different type of article list than it had been seen in before. So it might have been tampered with some more.

As a long shot, remembering the issues with removing oneself from the credit list, I wonder if there could have been a mistake of that sort where they were deliberately removed from the main visible list but of course can't be altered because they are EG. Though I would have thought you would have to deliberately code that (and it wouldn't make much sense not to affect the separate lists).

The articles appear in the XML so they are getting lost during translation to HTML. We haven't made any changes recently that I'm aware of so it's tricky to see why they should suddenly have disappeared.

"Is there anyone else with only Edited Entries? "

As a writer rather than sub-ed it's not possible unless you delete the originals (which really means hiding them). I suppose the code might be programmed to look for normal entries first and then, if there aren't any, fail to continue to look for edited ones to list.

The only thing I've done recently is to remove the un-edited versions of my edited Entries... but that didn't give any problems until a couple of days ago.

So I'm stumped.

Try undeleting one. You can find them at <./>ma739774?type=3</.>

That worked, I spose I just need to keep an enedited Entry on the page.

Strange though, non?

"I spose I just need to keep an enedited Entry on the page."

That used not to be a problem, until a few software updates ago, because people's PS's were listed in their entries. Last I checked a few still were though because the timing of them fell between a couple of other crucial software updates.
