Wiki maintenance underway

[OriginalRafiki]

The EU2Wiki (at http://www.paradoxian.org/eu2wiki/) is currently undergoing some much-needed and not-entirely-voluntary maintenance and will therefore be offline for some time..

I'm not sure how much time it'll take, but hope to have things back up by Monday at the latest.

Sorry for any inconvenience this causes.

Awesome! I thought it needed a face-lift. But what's "not-entirely-voluntary" supposed to mean? Is Paradox involved in this is some way?

 

[OriginalRafiki]

Don't expect much in the way of facelifts; this goes to more underlying issues with regards to software and functionality and such.

"not-entirely-voluntary" means that someone has gained unauthorized access to the site. No big apparent harm done, other than a now-removed messgae on the forntpage, but I'm doing a full review and update of things to make sure that things are in order and to lessen the chances of it happening again.

 

[Mats_SX]

Oh. That's too bad (the hacking I mean). But good luck.

 

[OriginalRafiki]

Thanks

Things went a lot faster than expected, and the wiki is back up. I haven't found any further evidence of tampering, but just to be on the safe side, everyone who has registered at the wiki is advised to change their password.

I've done some basic testing of things, but if anyone encounters any weirdness, please make sure to let me know, e.g. here or by other suitable means.

Great. Its a really useful site.

 

[Mats_SX]

Will it get siggified like the other wikis now?

 

[OriginalRafiki]

I've siggified the wikis where I've made contributions myself

You've made a contribution to eu2 wiki now, too.

That's just site maintenance, rather than actual content

I think paradoxian.org (the home page) has a virus. Everytime I try to visit it, malware starts landing on my PC and my virus scanner cracks it at me.

I suggest PM this to rafiki, to make sure he notices.

 

[OriginalRafiki]

Indeed. Looks like I have a serious discussion with my ISP ahead of me

It's fixed now, and I'll keep a close eye on it in the time ahead.

Thanks, Swert, for bringing it to my attention
