[Wikia-l] SMW Bug still on Wikia

[Daniel Friesen]

It's starting to get quite annoying. I reported the bug with SMW a long 
time ago, probably months ago.

I am unable to undelete some pages histories because of a fatal error in 
smw. The best way to test it, is to attempt to merge some page histories 
in a SMW enabled wiki. When you try to undelete the old history you will 
get the old white screen of death.

I reported the issue to the SMW guys ages ago, I believe Yaron fixed it, 
and I believe there was even a bugfix release to fix that issue. But 
wikia is still on that same old version of SMW, even though SMW is 
already at 1.4, which has some key new features and many fixes for a 
number of issues. Staying on an old version is going to make wiki depend 
on some SMW features that have been removed already (Unreliable links 
within annotations instead of using #set and #declare; Factbox below 
page which was replaced with a toolbox item that wikia's custom skin 
will likely not replicate in the linkbox). It would be nice to get SMW 
updated to a more stable version, before more wiki start using it and 
start depending on unreliable misfeatures.
