Question

I have lost a Twiki, and do not know where to find it. I tried to change the name and Web for the following Twiki: https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/Main/DisappearingTracksTrigger,Run2

However, after choosing a new name (“DisappearingTracksTriggerRun2”, without the comma) and a new web (CMS), I got an error message. Now the original Twiki is not available (I get the message that this topic does not exist), and neither are any of these permutations:

https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/Main/DisappearingTracksTriggerRun2

https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/CMS/DisappearingTracksTrigger,Run2

https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/CMS/DisappearingTracksTriggerRun2

Perhaps the problem had to do with the comma in the original Twiki name?

The original Twiki was created by user JessicaBrinson, and the parent topic was JessicaBrinson.

Any suggestions on how I can find this lost Twiki?

Thanks, Wells

It has mysteriously / miraculously reappeared here: https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/CMS/DisappearingTracksTriggerRun2 Not sure if there was some human intervention or if it just took some time for the Twiki system to work out its kinks.

Hello The rename transaction probably timed out (for httpd) but behind the scenes the move was in fact done. This can happen especially on very large webs like Main and CMS Peter Jones
