Utility: Official release of the unofficial Dominions 3 Wiki

[lch]

People just need more irony potential, Maerlande.

The good news: it seems that no data is lost. I have already backed up everything of importance. It will take some time until I can set up the system on a new hard disc drive, so I'll put it up as is again soon for the time being, but you probably should only read it for now unless you're not concerned that any changes to it might get lost.

[lch]

Actually, if you want to add stuff to the Wiki just go ahead. The data is being backed up remotely in a 24 hour cycle now. I'll take care about the hardware problems later.

I can't reach the server myself right now, maybe it has finally died now. I was getting big honking red flashing S.M.A.R.T. errors, "Help me, I'm dying here! Several errors on multiple partitions!" every time I logged in lately, but as I said I kept daily backups so we should be fine. I already have a replacement drive, but as I hope to get a replacement for the case and everything else aswell things might take a little while to set up again.

[lch]

Aaand we're back in business. New junkpile, featuring slightly more RAM and a slightly better CPU - we have arrived in 2003 now, hardware-wise (wooo!) and most importantly a new HDD that hopefully will make less trouble than the old one. Sorry for the wait. Enjoy!

Hey Ich
I've tried a couple of times to add content. Strategy guides, etc. Never had permission to edit. Am I doing something wrong?

You need to register to create an account. There's a button on the top right, "Log in / create account" for that. But actually, right now you make me aware that I'm not sure that sending out emails works like it used to... So please report back if you manage to do that!

And apparently the new notebook went into suspend mode when I closed the lid... d'oh! That is fixed now.

Lingchih, thanks for considering to absorb the costs, but it doesn't have to be money donations, contribution of content to the Wiki would be nice, too.

[Lingchih]

The Wiki is quite nice. But sorry, I just donated my last 20 bucks to Llamaserver. Perhaps, when I get a steadily paying job again, I can donate to the Wiki.

Hmm, so the "WhatLinksHere" feature seems invariably broken now. I do want to provide backlinks from the effects to the units and items that provide/possess them with the appropriate numbers, but that would require me to introduce a lot of semantic attributes, something that's quite a lot of labour and thus withheld me from starting to work on it. It's still on my TODO list, though.

Alternatively, you could let search robots crawl the wiki and let Google et al. do the work for you...or is that not allowed for content distribution reasons?

The content got green lights from Shrapnel Games and Illwinter. Huh, Google doesn't index it yet? Maybe I prevented robots from doing that. File a bug report / request in the bug tracker.
