Yo yo wassup gang.

For the rest of the week, I'll be working on migrating the existing Wiki to our new host and sometime within the next couple of months, we should be fully migrated to the new Wiki software we plan on using going forward. The domain and wiki will also eventually change to wiki.battledome.org and we will also need help in manually moving all of the existing articles into the new Wiki software. It is a lot more modern and manageable than our existing solution, so I don't anticipate any real issues outside of the unforeseen technical difficulties that can arise at any time during any software migration.

If you have any questions regarding the change in domain name or the new Wiki software we'll be using, please don't hesitate to ask!

That was... a painfully easy transition lol wiki is back up again.

Now we're going to need help on stage 2 which will require some assistance from any volunteers here.

Stage 2 involves copying over all existing articles to the new Wiki software and site and making sure everything is up-to-date.

Any takers?

This weekend, I'll drop a line here once I'm done setting up the new Wiki completely.

It's up now just needs email configuration and backups and we should be good to go!

New domain btw, outskirtsbattledomewiki.com will redirect to wiki.battledome.org once I'm done.

Once I finish the setup of the new wiki, I'll create a little guide on how to access those articles. Then, when everyone is able to follow along, we can start to add, organize, and update articles/pages as we manually transfer them over to the new software.

Turns out, the current wiki chewed through 16 GB of storage space cause dumb Joomla stored a bunch of cached files for every single page :skully

Basically, the server that the current wiki is now hosted on has 47 GB of usable storage and the wiki chewed through the rest of it causing things to not behave as normal. I'm clearing the cache now, but I do hope we can get the ball rolling with migrating these articles to the new wiki software and site cause Joomla is a dying CMS tbh.
