What happened to the H&H Wiki?

Postby Shask » Thu Dec 16, 2010 7:34 pm

I took a break from H&H for a few months and the wiki seems to have taken a turn for the worse. Did it get wiped, or something? The layout is bad and also the content seems worse, for example previously it would tell you everything that you could do with an object (e.g. beef), now it doesn't.

One of the templates is broken (Required By, I think). Wikia also adopted some gay bullshit layout that makes it look like some kind of social networking site :(

Haven't you heard? You can't switch. Wikia won't let you move, best you can do is copy all the content to the new wiki, but the one on Wikia will still come up higher on Google for a long while.

Not only is the layout horrific they changed some shit around and all the infoboxes died and went to hell with the new 'updated' call system. Ended up having to remove the whole :requires: because it can't make proper 'call' or 'ask' s anymore. Furthermore despite me being an administrator/bureacrat/whatever I can't edit the sidebar. They shit all over themselves on this one and I gave up trying to fix it a week ago.

I'm not super interested in running the wiki although I don't mind helping out whoever decides to.

I often use the DFWiki, never gave it a thought about where it's hosted.

Aw, I'm still very much a noob and lived my life by the "Required by.." template on the wiki. (i.e., find something and see if you can make anything useful of it).
