Title: Wiki is back online
Post by: saint on April 05, 2019, 01:36:31 pm
New wiki is up and running. Probably things need to be fixed. If it's content related, users can edit so please feel free :) If it's system related, please let me know on the bug report forum.

I'll be taking a look at the old wiki next.

Current wiki is at http://wiki.arcadecontrols.com/

Thanks everyone!

Fine tuning some stuff. Right now you can't create an account (spammers found us). I need to adjust settings and will be playing with that today. You can still access the site without an account to view it, and if you already had an account it should still be there.

I put the old(est) wiki up (the one that used to be integrated with the forum username/password) as a separate wiki at http://oldwiki.arcadecontrols.com/ - I didn't see anything at first glance in it that wasn't in the newer/current wiki. Is there anything that needs migrating?

E-mail sent.

Both wikis are on the wrong domain so ALL of the old forum links to wiki pages are broken and so are any embedded "newwiki" images.   :banghead:

Old wiki page links won't work with new the new php-based software.
-- Old style page link format    http://wiki.arcadecontrols.com/wiki/Restoration (http://wiki.arcadecontrols.com/wiki/Restoration)
-- New style page link format  http://wiki.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/Restoration (http://wiki.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/Restoration)

It's a good idea to have the old wiki available (read-only) so everyone who contributed can get credit for their hard work and people can see how various pages developed over time.   ;D

P.S. Add a "robots.txt" restriction to the old wiki domain so search engines don't crawl it.  That will eventually allow the new wiki results to rise over the old wiki results.
