Wiki.roblox.com is giving 403 errors

As8D · February 18, 2018, 12:34am

Same problem here - however, it seemed to work briefly earlier today (after being unavailable), but is now back to throwing 403 errors.

Maybe @Protune can mark this as unsolved, it seems a bit silly to make a new thread for it.

Just started occurring again for me.

Protune · February 18, 2018, 5:23pm

Marked as unsolved. I’ve tagged the intern that worked on this before but that hasn’t helped

Hydrablox · February 19, 2018, 7:37pm

Same here

Refreshing a few times has worked for me, but I sure do get this sometimes.

Alvin_Blox · February 20, 2018, 6:33pm

I’m getting it too. A simple refresh fixes it, but with each link to another page, I get this error again

Drolerina · February 20, 2018, 6:37pm

A refresh doesn’t fix it for me, I keep getting it even tried other devices like my phone but I also get it on there.

Polendris · February 21, 2018, 12:16am

started happening for me today aswell.

BuilderAtWork · February 23, 2018, 8:12pm

This used to happen rarely for me but it’s now happening on nearly all pages, which is extremely frustrating when trying to browse for things…

Ultraw · February 24, 2018, 12:32pm

Yeah same. It used to happen for me when this thread was created… then it fixed… now its back again

TaaRt · February 24, 2018, 11:25pm

Is the IP shown for everyone incorrect as well? It is for me, and it seems at the very least peculiar that it shows a different IP.

inHeadspace · February 24, 2018, 11:57pm

Yeah, on my iPhone(can’t get to pc), I’m getting this 404 error now. I didn’t get it when this thread was originally made. Odd.

Drolerina · February 25, 2018, 10:39am

Yep it’s showing the wrong IP for me.

For the time being you can use some proxy to access the wiki, for example:
https://www.megaproxy.com/freesurf

Ripull · February 25, 2018, 4:41pm

Life saver

Protune · March 4, 2018, 6:38pm

Problem is still occuring for me and some of the people I’ve asked. Hoping for this to get fixed soon. Anyone else that also still has this issue?

TaaRt · March 4, 2018, 6:44pm

Just tried and no change, still unable to access the wiki. Both @Maximum_ADHD and @MisterNeutron have confirmed that it is being looked into, though.

SteadyOn · March 4, 2018, 9:40pm

Hi you can use my proxy thing but i might move it to another website if it gets too much bandwidth
http://ayylmao.co.uk/proxy.php?http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=Main_Page

And do not use this for http requests to roblox if you want to do that just use rprxy.xyz (I will legitimately take this down if I get HTTP requests overloading the server)

Hey.

I’ve been having some trouble connecting to the wiki website recently, but I’m not sure if it’d fit in the #bug-reports:web-bugs category as it appears to only be happening to me (therefore I am sorry if this is in the wrong category).

Note the first time this happened, it stopped happening around a day later, that’s why I assumed this was something normal and temporary.

Basically, each time I try to access any URL on the wiki, a 403 error pops up. Quite honestly, I’m kind of clueless when it comes to this things, so how exactly should I fix this? It just says I should contact the administrator of wiki.roblox.com to resolve this issue.

This is what always shows up:

I didn’t censor that, the ID / Your IP Address / Timestamp fields are blank.

Summing up: what should I do to fix this?

Edit: moved to web bugs.
