I moved the what if? page to here because I was unable to use the "move" ability as it kept showing "No input file specified". โ€” The ๐—ฆ๐—พ๐—ฟ๐˜-๐Ÿญ talk stalk 06:44, 29 September 2020 (UTC)

I just noticed this: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/29/science/randall-munroe-question-popcorn.html It seems to be a continuation of what if in spirit but not in name, should we link to it from here?

Is the "it's" in the UK book description a typo by the article writer, or is it there in the actual book? I can't find it on the internets. Szeth Pancakes (talk) 20:36, 30 August 2022 (UTC)

Summary

What exactly is the summary? There are numerous fallacies in it. Please provide context or I will likely return and edit this in the future. SilverTheTerribleMathematician (talk) 15:11, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

Page disappearing?

When I try to access the page, I get a 404 error. Is this just me? GcGYSF(asterisk)P(vertical line)e (talk) 05:53, 20 April 2023 (UTC)

For that (the 'main/default' page of the domain), I'm getting "403 Forbidden", instead. But "404 Not Found" for WI-number pages or the feed on that domain. But not tried to work out what the archive/list page is or was. I think it's a mess-up on the backend server (accidental change, or not keeping up with some other front-end change) rather than a domain-level end-of-service situation... 172.71.178.207 15:43, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
Was reading the site the past few days, 17 and the others I saw the past few days work on my end but the others are 404 for me. 162.158.155.4 17:32, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
Well, Comic 17 isn't an actual "what-if", in anything but name. The others might locally be cached for you, having been there recently. Def. something wrong, but exactly what needs to be looked into by Randall/his tech team, I would say. 172.71.242.86 18:25, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
I'm getting errors as well. A 403 error on the "what if" landing page, and 404 errors to any directly linked pages. 172.71.154.86 19:53, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
Looks like it might be fixed now, apparently it was moving to a site called sciesnet. 172.70.134.145 18:46, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
