Okay something funny's going on. [[User:Miles of SmashWiki|Miles of SmashWiki]] just successfully tested this ability by adding and removing me from the probation usergroup - except that while the log says both were successful, I'm still in the probation group. And for some reason I can't change it on myself; it gives an error that says "Conflict of user rights changes! Please review and confirm your changes.". I can't add myself to the rollbacker group either (which I tried just to see if it worked) with the same error.

== Ridley ==
His page was up for splitting into a separate page for his boss appearance due to length, and now that we know his role in SSB4U I was just about to do the split, but as I clicked on the link to create Ridley (boss), this showed up:

==MediaWiki namespace editing==
[[File:EditingMediaWikiNameSpace.jpg|150px|right]]
As you can tell from that image, that is me editing [[MediaWiki:Sidebar|a page]] in the MediaWiki namespace on my iPod (via mobile editing). However, I am not an admin, and I can't edit the page on the desktop. Is this an error, or am I missing something? I'm not experienced with this interwiki stuff, just to let you know. Just curious, by the way. Also note that I didn't save, for fear of messing something up with the wiki. <font face="Marker Felt">[[User:Rtzxy|<span style="color:#9f4f3f;">Rtzxy</span>]] [[File:Reflect.jpg|20x20px]] [[User talk:Rtzxy|<span style="color:#66CDAA;">''Reflect!''</span>]]</font> 21:29, 13 November 2014 (EST)

== .svg converters ==
I have recently begun experimenting with .svgs. So far, all my tests have been simple (single path) and successful, so I threw in a curveball - [[:Image:MetalMarioSymbol.svg]], which requires filters and masking to display correctly (it should look similar to [[:Image:MetalMarioSymbol.png]]). As can be seen, it failed to render anything but a blank image. I suspect that the program whose job it is to do the svg -> png conversion is too old or too dumb to know what to do with it. (Viewing the raw .svg file in the browser does work as expected.)
Now I'm not 100% set on doing a lot of .svg stuff yet, but in order to continue I'd like to get a fix on how much of a pain this would be to fix. A [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Image_administration#SVG quick look] tells me that it would involve basically changing a variable and installing the relevant program, but that the process can be arduous. (For the record, I use Inkscape to make the .svgs, but I try to avoid Inkscape-exclusive features.)

:So, we use librsvg. The other ones sound like they would cause more server load than I would like, and potentially other issues. That image doesn't work on [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/File:MetalMarioSymbol.svg Wikimedia] either, so it might have errors or just be too advanced for what is expected to be supported? --[[User:Porplemontage|Porplemontage]] ([[User talk:Porplemontage#top|talk]]) 18:51, 8 December 2014 (EST)
::Well Wikimedia uses librsvg too, so it's not a surprise that you get the same result in both places. The raw file itself isn't invalid or anything; all three major browsers display it as expected. This file in particular is low-priority, since it would only be on 4-5 pages and the others I've tried so far are fine, but it does suggest that the problems I originally stopped using .svgs due to are still present.
::I'm curious about the "server load" note though. I'm no expert, but I thought that the .svg converter would only run whenever an image is needed at a never-before-used resolution, or the source is changed and the cache needs to be dumped/redone. Is there a hidden cost I'm unaware of?
::What about [[mw:Extension:NativeSvgHandler|Extension:NativeSvgHandler]]? Are there any major browsers left that can't display svgs? Just throwing ideas out, no idea how viable they are.

:::It's just about keeping everything as tight as possible. If traffic is way up and then the converter takes a bunch of RAM/CPU and hangs, it wouldn't be good. Stability is my #1 thing and I worry about stuff breaking. I guess there are benchmarks [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/SVG_benchmarks here]. It looks like that extension works great except in IE...

== VERY problematic ads - site is basically unusable for users ==
I a bringing this up because this issue makes me outraged as an internet user.
This is in regards to the "Large" ads that show up at the bottom of every medium to large page on this site. If a page (ANY page) isn't extremely short, then the ad space at the bottom will load in two large "square" shaped ads, and these ads are always ridiculously heavy on memory usage. "Video Ads". I am not talking about ads that have animation, or those banner ads that have a video in them where you can "click to replay with sound". No, these are literally just video players and they load in a VERY high-quality, full-length video that eats up all of the browser's memory and causes the page to lag so badly that it's as if the user were using dial-up!
I will provide you a more specific example, but please keep in mind that this is just one example and this problem extends across all large pages. On a large page such as http://www.ssbwiki.com/Music_%28SSBB%29 it is nearly impossible to navigate the page because, directly below the infoboxes at the very bottom, there is a "table" element with two "iframe" elements inside of it. The id of one of these iframes is "sovrn_ad_unit_267940_async". This element is almost always a high-quality video that deals with either fashion or health on some unidentifiable flash video player. The videos feature logos that say "FashionTheater" and "HealthTheater", respectively. Clicking on these ads does nothing except pause the video; they do NOT take you to any advertisers webpage. I can tell that this ad is causing the immense lag because as soon as I delete the table element from the page, the lag disappears ENTIRELY.
On this particular page load, BOTH of the ads at the bottom resulted in this problematic ad. That's TWO INCREDIBLY HIGH-QUALITY VIDEOS PLAYING AT ONCE. Scrolling the page was nearly impossible. It took me TEN MINUTES to get this information because that's how slow the page was. This will happen on ANY page unless it is very short in length.
I see now that this still occurs if I have made an account, unlike some other wikis. This is a huge HUGE punishment for users of this site. What if someone is playing a Smash Bros. game and they want to look up some information really quickly here? They're going to be hit with this HUGE drop in performance, and then they will probably never come back to this site ever again. This is a huge problem for the hundreds users who stop by your site.
I was told previously that "video ads are a thing that cannot be avoided". This is absolutely, 100% untrue. This and other MediaWiki sites are the ONLY website I have EVER seen that has these kinds of high-quality video ads. I peruse the internet quite a bit, and there are some ridiculous and annoying ads on some of the biggest sites out there, but not a single one employs auto-play High-quality flash video play objects like this. I have contacted plenty of other websites to let them know that a bad ad was hampering my experience, and they have all promptly fixed the issue.
If you need further proof of how bad my browsing experiences are, I would be willing to film a video of the problems and provide this for you, but I don't think it needs to come to that.
Remember, I am absolutely not asking you to stop displaying ads. I support the use of ads, which is why I do not ever use adblocker. But these need to go. These aren't even ads because users cannot click on them to be taken anywhere; they are literally just tiny, high-quality flash video players. I highly encourage you to find out where they are coming from and remove them or replace them with something else.

== Ads and div overflow:auto ==
Take a look at the strip of icons on [[Jigglypuff (SSBM)/Down special|this page]]: as expected, the div that contains it has a horizontal scrollbar so it doesn't fatten up the page itself. Now look at it again when logged-out and ads are present: that breaks it for some reason, and massively expands the div even though it still keeps a scrollbar. Does this for me in both IE and Chrome.
