The Great Deceiver Breaks the Site

A record-high job queue and one of the servers out of action. Surely it's an Elliot the Thick template session that caused it, right?

Wrong! The Great Deceiver admitted to being the one who single-handedly killed most of UESP over the past couple of days. In his post, he refuses to specify which template caused the problems, but I'm more than happy to oblige: it's this one (I'm linking to Wikipedia since it's going to be deleted off UESP soon).

TGD whines that he didn't expect a template taken from WP would cause such a problem. Perhaps if he had looked at where the template is used on WP, he would have discovered the answer is "almost fucking nowhere" and "literally fucking nowhere" in article space.

Good job, TGD. Perhaps you can give lessons in teh st00pid to Elliot?

  1. Yes. I made a mistake, realised I made it, fixed it and came clean about what happened. As a direct result, I also uncovered a server configuration problem and reported it to Daveh so it's now fixed.

    We're all human and all make mistakes from time to time.

    Was there a point you were trying to make?
