Google algorithm[edit]

I'm thinking of a new policy where we discourage mass imports from Wikipedia. I suspect they could be hurting our SEO. It's fine to import a couple of pages and make improvements to them.

Update[edit]

We just updated to MediaWiki 1.42.3, the latest stable version. If there are any problems, please report them. Enki (talk) 15:05, 10 October 2024 (EDT)

Outage[edit]

Sorry for the outage. I think I found the problem and corrected it. It might have been a DDoS or just bad behavior. Enki (talk) 01:37, 14 January 2025 (EST)

CSS styling[edit]

I made some changes to MediaWiki:Common.css. If you notice any CSS styling glitches, please report them here.

Note that some things we intentionally do a little bit differently. Wikipedia uses some really small fonts for things like infoboxes and reference lists. Generally, I try to avoid very small fonts because of accessibility concerns. Enki (talk) 08:59, 11 February 2025 (EST)

Permissions[edit]

I loosened up permissions a bit, mainly letting automoderated users bypass CAPTCHA. If I messed anything up and you're locked out of something you previously had access to, it was unintentional. Please post here or email encyc@protonmail.com. Enki (talk) 20:42, 17 February 2025 (EST)
