Help[Test] Encountered something that might be somewhat related (m)
in reply to a message by MiloChugger
Hmm... I think I might have noticed that there is something amiss as well - at least on mobile!
Now, I was tired at the time, so I might possibly be misremembering things somewhat. But yesterday, I searched for namesakes for Ralph and there were none! The page (see link below) said: "There were no namesakes found for Ralph."
https://www.behindthename.com/name/ralph/namesakes
I remember thinking how odd it was that there were no namesakes on BtN for such a well-known name. "Not even Ralph Waldo Emerson is on there?!" I thought. But now that page is filled with namesakes, so I guess that issue has since been resolved.
However, there remains something wonky with Ralph. On the entry page for the name, the 'Namesakes' tab is absent (at least for me):
https://www.behindthename.com/name/ralph
And if you type 'Ralph' in the search bar at the very top of the page, then the option 'Ralph namesake search' does not show - which it should!
Currently, the only way to find namesakes for Ralph is to navigate to the page listed below and type 'Ralph' in the search bar there:
https://www.behindthename.com/namesakes/
That's not how things are supposed to be, right? *frowns in confusion* I mean, at this point I'm once again tired, so I hope I'm not misinterpreting things somehow (or something along those lines). :s

That's strange, the site's big name index did not have the "namesakes" flag set for Ralph. I've fixed that one name, but it looks like I should rebuild the index (later tonight).
Yikes - for your sake, I hope that is a fully automated process rather than a manual one! O_o And thank you for fixing the problem with Ralph so quickly! :D
If I'm understanding your issue correctly, you're saying you were able to go to the entry page for Ralph—and through that page access the related namesakes—but now you can't, right?
Just had a go at it myself on mobile and on desktop. Sure enough, I don't see that tab (or even the Nameday one) for Ralph, but all the other names I've looked at have those tabs, so it doesn't seem to be just you. While I can't say for certain if it's connected, the next newest thread by fullstuffing talks about a user that had been deleting categories, so maybe something similar happened? Best to see what an admin has to say about it.

Yes, that's right! :)
Thank you for taking the time to investigate the issue yourself and reassure me that I was not alone in this. Fortunately, Mike has by now identified the cause and fixed the problem accordingly! \o/
