Aaand ... unable to connect.

Yeah, I don't think Olaf's had time to sort out the root cause of this yet (whatever that might be).

Cheers!

This is correct.
Server was crapping out again, so I shut it down. Haven't been able to backup yet, to then be able to reinstall, and hopefully be fixed. Might turn back on wiki in read-only mode, but will still have server errors.

Any updates or anything help I can lend?

The wiki is never coming back.

As always, let me know if you see any problems.

Thank you, Olaf!

The notes say "Based on an entry posted by Sanjuro during the October 2015 Crafting Contest." I'm pretty sure Sanjuro based it on the little robot, Twiki, from the 1970s show Buck Rogers in the 25th Century (starring Gil Gerard). Even the pic looks like Twiki.

You can actually create a wiki account and add it in there with wiki magic.

This might help.

Thanks for getting the wikki back up and running Olaf, I have really missed it.

I see that Moondragon007 made a new user account without admin intervention. I hope sufficient safeguards are in place to prevent a recurrence of the great spambot invasion of 2013.

Wiki server went down for what should have been relatively quick upgrades, but ran into some unfamiliar issues. Unknown downtime. Sorry

EDIT: Should be fixed, everything looking good, but let me know if any issues are noticed.

Thanks for getting that sorted out, Olaf

Cheers!

The wiki seems to have gone down again.

Hey, sorry about that, I only just noticed the wiki was borked. I know the cause of it, but don't know the immediate fix.
Don't really have an ETA because I'm dealing with PC issues right now, too, but should be back up this week.
EDIT: Was actually a quick fix. Let me know if there's any issues.

Thank you!

Cheers It's been really useful on the farming retcon runs

Huh, okay that's weird, been getting an Error connection refused from the wiki.

No idea what the cause was, but the entire server choked on something. Wiki back up now!

Have there been any plans on updating the wiki with some of the more recent IoTMs? I've only just gotten back into the game so I don't know much about what's been released since it stopped updating

Getting "conection refused" for the past few days now.

Seems like its borked again and/or still

I got in touch with the player who administers the wiki, hopefully he'll be able to bring it back to life.

Cheers!

Hey, sorry about that, wiki is back up!

Nice, thanks!

Thanks, Olaf! <3

I've put the Wiki into Read Only Mode.
It needs to be moved to a different server, and also needs some significant version updates. Because of the nature of that second part, I don't know how long I'll need to have it in the read only state.

Annoyingly, because of how the read only mode works, most images will be broken during this time.

After some troubles, it's in a mostly working, upgraded, state on the new server. Still not swapping over to it publicly, but that should be soon.

It looks like at least one of the extensions used, "Variables" does not have a version that will work with the newest MediaWiki. It's looks to be a minor problem, but screws up some qol stuff. There's also some security features we had that I haven't checked to see if they'll work yet.

Everything moved. The Variables extension is still broken, so there's some weirdness on some pages, but most of the content is how it should be.
If somebody could go through and either replace those instances or find a drop in replacement for thae extension that works with MediaWiki 1.44, that would be appreciated.

Please let me know of any other problems you see, or requests you have.
