Thread:Smash The Echidna/@comment-32712012-20170817024522

Hi there! I have discovered that a few features on this wiki are broken, so I've come here to ask for help fixing them. If you're wondering why I'm doing this instead of using the "Report an Issue" feature, it's because that's one of the broken features that I'm reporting.

The "Report an Issue" feature is broken in two ways. First of all, there's API:Report, which is accessible from the Community menu on the top bar labeled as "Report an Issue". According to the API:Report page, the page doesn't exist, so the feature can't be used.

The other way that the feature is broken is that Help:Report, accessible from various message wall threads (such as this one, where it is labeled as "Report an Issue"), only partly works. It gives the list of 10 admins, each of whom can ostensibly be contacted by pushing the button with the given admin's name on it. However, clicking one of the buttons shows the selected admin's talk page as being both blank and fully protected. This isn't always true, as your page here 1) has content and 2) I can post on it with no technical difficulties at all.

The "Report an Issue" isn't the only feature that I need help with. The comment deletion feature doesn't work properly, either. First of all, there isn't an option to simply delete a comment (though I'm not sure if there is supposed to be one). Then, if a comment is blanked, it offers the option to delete the comment with the following text:
 * You can't post an empty comment. Delete it instead?

There, "Delete it instead?" is a link to deleting the given comment. However, clicking the link then displays a menu saying that the comment is fully protected. This isn't true either, as I can pretty much always edit my own comments.

If you can figure out what's going wrong and how to fix it, I would greatly appreciate that! If you can't, maybe you can pass it to someone else who can.

If you've gotten all the way to the bottom of this message, thanks for reading it!
