lineid: ID of the lines to transfer the light to
flags: Specifies what part of the line is affected

The wiki software has just been upgraded from MediaWiki 1.20.6 to 1.21.2. Let me know if anything broke.

This update also includes the SyntaxHighlight extension, which might be useful.

FWIW, most of the standard Interwiki links seem to be working now. Of all the ones I tried, only google: didn't work. I still can't make doomwiki: work, either. Is there some sort of voodoo ritual I need to perform? I've just spent the past nearly two hours mucking about with Interwiki crap, and all that's happened is that I'm even more confused now than I was before about why it won't just work.

The wiki tag is (still? again?) tripping up on /. Example: [wiki=MAPINFO/Map_definition]MapInfo Map Definition[/wiki]

The wiki is inaccessible; I'm getting a "502 Bad Gateway" error.

Yes, the wiki is down (502 Bad Gateway -- can someone fix that?)

A_Fall is exactly the same as A_NoBlocking (the name A_Fall came from Doom, if I recall).

If I'm reading the source code right, it clears the SOLID flag from the actor and drops all of the items the actor defines with the DropItem actor property, if any.

It also sets the alpha of a stealth actor to 1.0 (and another thing related to that but I don't know what it is), and if the actor has a conversation that sets an item to drop, the item will be dropped as well.

Selecting all the photos of cats doesn't seem to save an edit.

Clicking on 'Save Page' just keeps on popping up with a new selection of photos, over and over.

At one point I thought that there may have a differentiation between cats and kittens, but that didn't work either.
I don't remember what I had in mind when I typed the above line.

As an administrator, I never get the captcha, so I can't test it. I tried creating an account, and it worked fine there, though. Unfortunately, it's the only captcha offered that's worth a damn anymore.

I think that sometimes, the captcha's own database is incorrect. I have had a similar problem on another wiki, but it solved itself after retrying a few times.

The download link for stacktest.7z demo map in the stacked sectors page no longer works. http://zdoom.org/wiki/Portal Might want to remove or fix that.

If the above is, in fact, the case, the A_RaiseChildren page should be modified to include this information.
