Potential upgrades for the OBD wiki pages

I think @Nevermind has to add you manually, but I could always check with him to see what's up. Typically, that message you saw means that the email account used to send emails from the Wiki isn't working or that the mail settings aren't correctly configured in the control panel.
I just ran into the same problem trying to make my own account lol

I'm currently working on generating a list of broken and outdated links on the Wiki, and I have noticed a mismatch between using non-friendly URLs (e.g., view=article&id=15&catid=2) and friendly URLs (e.g., profiles/8-character-profiles/586-character-profile-lars-ul-meta-licana). This mismatch could have been a result of the upgrade we performed on the Wiki, which may have turned off friendly URLs as it is the default behavior of the application when it's freshly installed or upgraded in a non-standard manner.
To address this issue, we will need to enable friendly URLs again and update all of the links that use non-friendly URLs throughout the entire Wiki. This task may require some time and effort to accomplish. Additionally, as part of the overhaul, we should consider locally uploading and attaching images to the articles since some of the images are no longer available from their original sources.
There is also an issue with poorly formatted articles where there is excessive spacing between the start of the article and the actual text. This can be easily resolved by verifying the formatting and removing unnecessary spacing between these two sections.
Once we complete these necessary steps, the Wiki will be in better shape, and we can work towards improving other aspects of the Wiki overall. In the meantime, while I compile this list, I'll be looking into the first fix, which involves turning on friendly URLs for SEO purposes.

I'm wondering, can't you make a bot with the sole purpose of clicking links on the site? And perhaps if the link send the bot to the 404 page, the bot records the link that sent it there in a txt doc?
Or do you already have a way to differentiate between friendly and unfriendly links?

@Thegoldenboy2188, and that's just the tip of the iceberg, lol. In addition to the mismatched links, there are cases where there are links to sites that no longer exist or have changed their domain completely, such as NF > FV. Furthermore, there are still links that are prefixed with "http" instead of "https." On top of all that, there are references to what I believe is the current Wiki's predecessor, which was hosted on Wikispaces. For example, https://outskirtsbattledomewiki.com/index.php/history?view=article&id=3219&catid=8 is a prime example of an article with outdated links out the wazoo 
2024 OBD top tier goal = we should finish fixing this relic together and bring it up to current times!!
@Nevermind does this sound like a solid gameplan to you?

I really want to help but uh, I only started my beginner CS course, and I'm stuck with a teacher who doesn't actually want to teach anything, meaning I don't even know any code other than snippets of C++.
Tis the best way I know how to contribute towards the OBD to make us stand above the rest
University or bootcamp? If he's from the former, he needs to be fired, and if he's from the latter, get your money back guaranteed

That's why I loved every moment of WGU, it was self-paced, and you pretty much had most of the tools you need to get your assignments and studying done without a useless professor giving boring ass lectures
SO i kinda wanna point out that although we have a lot of stuff listed under destructive capacity and what those numbers mean, we never really show our work on any of that stuff so its literally just a bunch of numbers that are backed up by "trust us dudes" is there anyway we can have a section showing people how we got to those numbers or how they can get those numbers themselves if they want to double check our work
Why do some links redirect me to Etsy?
