MediaWiki has been installed.
The default main page was keen on mentioning this, in case you were unable to deduce this from the fact that you were reading this in a wiki, presumably because you were having a stroke.
Consult the User's Guide for information on using the wiki software.
Create new pages here
(Or if you search for a page that doesn't exist, you can create it from the resulting page)
The state of the Wiki
As you probably noticed, we were forced to relocate from our previous home at wikispaces due to space pirate attack. Who would have thought? Hopefully Wikimedia will be more resilient.
What was transferred:
- All the articles, except the old Home Page.
- All the comments on the articles. They're in the relevant Discussion pages, including signatures and timestamps.
- All the files that we uploaded in the past, except the Starlight Simulator files.
- Tags, except they're now in the form of Categories. They function very similarly, however.
What wasn't transferred
- The editing history on our articles. We'll have to live without it.
- The old Home Page.
- The Starlight Simulator files.
Features that don't work yet and probably should
- What You See Is What You Get editor - still need to install that extension. For now it's just wiki markup, but with a few buttons to help make it a bit easier.
- Thumbnails for .tif files. Not that I know why you're even using that format, but yeah, right now the thumbnails are broken (though you can download them and view them at your leisure).
- Uploading arbitrary file types. If you want to upload something of a file extension that's not currently supported, let me know and I'll set it up.
- Can probably spice up the side bar a little bit. Sound off if you want anything there that you want to access frequently and isn't there right now.
