I just purged the Main Page again. Please let me know if this helped with the issue.
Working on all three browsers on my laptop. Success. :pink-meeple:

It can be some PHP issue. Need to debug on server side. White screen of death usually PHP Fatal Error.
Let me know if you’re not able to reproduce the problem on some device. I’m often sharing my laptop screen on Discord so easy enough if you need me as a testing guinea pig.

We purged the main page cache that was giving problems to some people, but nobody reported any issues since.

I use FireFox on my Mac to do all the editing. What issues are you experiencing? Blank page? Error message?
On my laptop via chrome clicking the link in your signature I get a blank page. Firefox is the same from the laptop. I turned off my virus checker and that did nothing. Microsoft Edge also brinks up a blank page. I'm on Windows 10.

My 13" 2016 ipad pro pulls it up on chrome no problem. :(y) But on Firefox it is blank. Safari is blank. When it works it updates the address too https://wikicarpedia.com/car/Main_Page. (Manually typing this in on my laptop did not help.)

My FireHD10 Tablet (older Android OS) which is hacked with the Google Play store (not hard to do) works via chrome. :(y) Firefox works. :(y) Amazon's Silk browser works.

My Android phone it works via chrome.  :(y)

GeeZus wikicarpedia page hasn't worked for weeks for me.>:( (I cleared cache on Firefox just now and still a fail.) How am I supposed to share the Carc goodness when the main reference page doesn't work? I'm amazed this has been blown off in this thread. Nobody new to Carcassonne is going to clear their cache and I'm not suggesting it especially since it doesn't work on FireFox. This is a massive problem unless the plan is to sunset this fantastic resource. To me the ability to combine many expansions and generate directions is a huge feature which I can't share right now.

Do you have any issues in mind?

You may add as many copies of Mists over Carcassonne as you want but only one 2x2 starting tile. You use 15 ghosts as well, but if you use more meeples from other expansions, you could use more... Maybe 3 additional ghosts per major expansion with new meeples? >:D
.....
So if I'm using Mists as an expansion (two copies or one). I must use it's starting tile and no others?

I think I now have double of the first five big expansions (and almost doubled up Hills and Sheep plus Big Top at recent sale.) so it sounds like I may need to just throw in all the ghosts. I have another thread where I am discussing this game so I don't wanna get too detailed here.

as far as mega mists, i'm not planning to do that, at least until I play the game solo as it was designed. I will only use mists as an expansion for now.

If you add The Spell Circles, ghosts may go wild if you create mist banks with multiple tils featuring spell circles! Luckily there are 9 tiles only... unless you also add additional copies of the mini...  :o
Well it is for my next 800 tile MegaCarc game: https://www.carcassonnecentral.com/community/index.php?topic=6461.0

I envisioned somehow using the expansion rules.

Are you saying MegaMists is possible? :white-meeple: I've always presumed you could only add Spell Circles as an expansion.

I was going to play both hands (effectively solo) for the MegaCarc game, but are you saying I could play true solo via MegaMists? I've not played Mega or mists.

@Meles – CarcF is Carcassonne-Forum: https://www.carcassonne-forum.de/.
I tried to sign up for that one and was never let in, so this is a nice reminder to try a few more times in the future.

A little bird somewhere told me that something could be come up with, so I bought another one ($19.20) because the price was so good and it arrives.

So really two questions.
1. How to play a game of Carcassonne mists with two base games or at least utilize some of the contents of the 2nd copy? (This may be a really bad idea.)
2. How to use two copies of its expansion version in MegaCarc? (my immediate hope :o )

Pinkassonne and visual agony; why? Will it be taking on winter edition anytime soon?

No comments on Willem's framed tile? I guess Carcassonne's green tiles go with envy. ::) I must be amazing looking at it every day.

HiG has agreed that expansions can be converted by CarcF, but they limited the speed as which that can be done.

And CarcF further limits their own speed. To be clear, they are allowed to go faster than they have been.
CarcF Is Carcassonne France?

Carcassonne-Forum have permission from HiG to convert existing expansions from C2 (and I presume C3) into C1 (and C2 respectively).  Because the expansions are owned by HiG outright, they are not considered fan-expansions so we must respect their wishes.

HiG has agreed that expansions can be converted by CarcF, but they limited the speed as which that can be done.
Interesting and further confirmation that the AliExpress listing is completely bogus since it is taking something up from C1 to C2 or C3, which even this reverred forum is not allowed.

I can see the museum not wanting to celebrate such activity while it is still ongoing as well.

They also have Little Buildings. I'm pretty sure the Halb so wild I is useless since Halb Wild II is quite expensive in C1. No gameplay differences between these two
Half so wild (Halflings) is for me one of the best addition to Carcassonne. (Please don't tell it to @Decar)
Decar hehe. I finally heard back from Philibert over my albino backed German cathedrals, and they seem quite determined to send me a replacement copy all the way from Europe. it is a language barrier, but I am trying to talk them into giving me a shipping discount instead on a new order and tuck in the replacement copy. they were out of stock winter edition when I did my order plus they were a few other minis I did not get due to the shipping cost jumping €10 and their availability at spieldematerial. I really shouldn't get winter edition, but I want it.

frankly, I'd rather have the earlier edition of winter with C1 art and they do have the expansion for that in stock (A gingerbread man to go with the halflings). The new addition of winter does have the winter River. does it make sense to combine the C1 expansion with the current addition?

this is all relevant to the thread, because the shipping from Philibert is fast and all of this can be in the mega game hehe.

Replying to the post just above I'm seeing the value of wikicarpedia rules. I will be relying on it solely for this Megacarc game.
Pretty decent game!!! :o

You may use a side table for the scoreboard and the general supply...

If you want The Wind Roses, you may find them here with spielbox magazine...  ^-^

I must say the site is quite horrible since it will dump your cart after an hour. :(n)

We have low-res images on purpose, in order to avoid any copyright issues.

The reference pages allow you to select the expansions you want to include and then everything gets configured accordingly.

What do you find confusing on WICA?
I honestly never looked before at the functionality you mention. I will try it out as it looks like a boon for constructing this mega game.

Confusing parts of WICA since you ask and I am quite new to it. I've done google searches and sometimes WICA comes up and I like what I've found, but when I recently went searching around the website I'm greeted from the home page with the following:
1. Tools
2. WICA Toolbox

And that is it. I can scroll down and click on many links in the article, but that is not very intuitive. So I've immediately searched elsewhere rather than navigate through this. I will keep exploring it and thanks for some direction/prodding on using it. Oh, I've given up on registering for the site. Hopefully there is some way to save results......

Wow. Once you get the hang of it, was not bad to enter all the expansions. This is probably going to be a lifesaver because with all those expansions this will be good training for me:
"Step 1B: Draw a Tile

If you have tiles that you are required to play, you must use them instead of drawing a new tile or choosing a tile from your supply.
If you have a tile from a previous bazaar auction, you must use that tile.
If you do not have to use a tile and you have one or more tiles in your supply, you may use one of them instead of drawing a tile, if there is a valid space to place it.
An abbey tile
A German castle tile
If you did not perform any previous action in Step 1B, randomly draw a tile.
Show the tile to all players. Place the tile in front of you while performing the actions associated to the tile.
If a hill is depicted on the tile, immediately draw another tile if any available. If so, keep this new tile face-down underneath the tile with the hill.
If a Wheel of Fortune icon is on the tile, resolve Wheel of Fortune. ROBBERS
If a peasant revolt symbol is on the tile, resolve the peasant revolt for the feature type indicated. ROBBERS
If the tile is placeable and you decide to open a gift in your supply, turn the card face up, resolve the action, and place it on top of the discard pile. ROBBERS
Step 1C: Place the Tile

Place the tile. If the placement is illegal, you must discard the tile (and the tile drawn to place underneath a hill as well, if any) and go back to Step 1B.
You may build a bridge on the tile just placed or a tile orthogonal to the tile just placed if you have any left in your supply. The bridge may be required to make the tile placement legal. If the placement is illegal without the bridge, you may choose to discard the tile.
If placing a bridge on a tile with a tower, you may need to move it slightly to make room for the bridge.
No bridge can be built on an acrobat tile with one or more acrobats.
You can build a bridge on a circus tile (with or without the big top).
Note: any tile-based feature that is finished is considered complete at this time.
If a volcano symbol is on the tile, place the dragon on this tile.
If a princess symbol is on the tile, and the tile is added to an existing city with a knight on it, you may remove a knight of your choice and skip Steps 2B-1 and 2B-2.
If a gold symbol is on the tile, you must place a gold piece on that tile and an adjacent tile.
If a mage and witch symbol is on the tile, or if the tile joins the features with the Mage and Witch, you must move the Mage or the Witch.
If a robber symbol is on the tile, your robber and next player’s robber still in their supply may be placed on the scoreboard. If you had already played your robber, you may move it.
If there is a quarter-wind rose on the tile and you place the tile in the appropriate quadrant of the playing field, you score 3 points. ROBBERS
If a hill is on the tile, place the hill tile while keeping the face-down second tile underneath it.
If placing a circus tile for the first time, place an animal token facedown on the circus area and then the big top on it.
If there is a fruit-bearing tree on the tile, place a stack of 4 fruit tokens of the same type facedown on the tile (it doesn't matter if it matches the type of tree.)
If the tile placed is the last one to surround a bathhouse with a trapped meeple, the meeple can be taken back by its owner for free. If the owner forgets, the player will have to pay to get it back.
If you extended at least one road or city occupied by one or more players where you don't have the majority after placing the tile, you draw a gift card, look at it without showing it to anyone, and place it face down in your supply."
I've got a little FireHD tablet that I pay put on a picture stand oriented like a phone and have this handy for each move.
