yay!

I wonder if there's a setting that allows sending out a mass mail to all active users (of the past 1 year) that SAH is back on.

The wiki seems to be half alive. You can open all the pages, but all the text of the articles is missing.

Ok, I've updated the wiki so it's up to date with the latest version of MediaWiki, but we lost the nice theme, and a few older extensions that don't work in this version of mediawiki.

I spent some time to make it look mostly like the old wiki site.

Aaaaah! Welcome back good old forum.

Wiki looks usable. Some colourschemes aren't working within toc-boxes but it is at least readable. Splendid.

What is the URL of the page that looks odd? I can still access the wiki on the old server and probably fix it.

Basically every article with a box of table of content including this:
* http://wiki.starsautohost.org/wiki/Article_Library

It's readable but the colourscheme very light blue on white... well, it was a lot easier to read before but I don't recall how it looked like.

Thanks Ron for getting the wiki working.

How big is the wiki backup data? and the forum posts?
(There's a wealth of information in the forum posts).

I would like to get a backup of all the wiki data, so I can figure out how to set it up or just keep it as a local copy.

The wikidb backup zip file is 13mb, but unzips to over 400mb. The files (exe's, zips, and videos) that can be downloaded through the wiki is 141mb.

Hmmm, I checked a few... One was hosted somewhere else and gives a 404 error, the other uses the old wiki internal path name. Guess I need to rename the wiki directory to what it was before to fix the URL.

Found that several folders had not been copied from old wiki to new one. So those cases you mentioned should be fixed now.

MA, on your http://wiki.starsautohost.org/wikinew/m.a.stars/itemtable.ht m page, all the graphics are missing. They don't exist on the old wiki either. Do you have that directory in a zip somewhere so I can get the graphics?

They were never uploaded, IIRC. They're the standard icons that I got from other sites. I only renamed a few. They must be hiding on some old hard drive. I'll look for 'em. Lurking
