The Wonderland Board

Hi! WonderWiki is looking for new admins for WonderWiki to help spruce things up. Please PM me with your interest (best if you have previous experience with MediaWiki, but this is not necessary.)

Please welcome our newest admins, Aryan101 and Sammy_P!

We also have a Discord now if you want to discuss WonderWiki: https://discord.gg/Cz7zdj

In the coming weeks I'll also be doing some behind-the-scenes improvement to ensure WonderWiki is more accessible to mobile users. Stay tuned!

WonderWiki will be going down for maintenance from 2PM GMT on 1 November. The maintenance should take an hour to complete.

Maintenance has finished, everything should be back up and running.

We now have a mobile skin! We're working on getting the main page to be mobile-friendly as well but everything else should work out of the box. If you have any problems using WonderWiki please let me know.

I've just completed an upgrade to MediaWiki 1.31.7. I've enabled a new multimedia viewer and 2-factor authentication which I strongly encourage you to turn on: https://zbots.space/wiki/Special:Preferences

Upgraded WonderWiki to MediaWiki 1.13.8.

Upgraded MediaWiki to 1.35.0; any weirdness please let me know!

I'm getting the following popup error when attempting to start editing a page:
"Error contacting the Parsoid/RESTBase server (HTTP 403)"
Edits are still able to go through though.

I also noticed that the site url structure changed from /wiki/Main_Page to /w/index.php/Main_Page, but I have no idea when that happened or if that's normal or not.

I've fixed the URL issue.

The 403 issue seems to be a known issue for VisualEditor on MW 1.35 and a fix is still pending. I've disabled it for now.

I was wondering if an article on Stinky and Loof in Wonderland should be added.

Feel free! \

Hey, is that Discord server still up? The invite seems to be dead.
I'd be interested in doing an overhaul on the wiki, but I'd prefer to run any new pages / rewrites by other people beforehand.

New link is up!

Hey! I have several bits of knowledge on how a wiki works, and similar to Fungus, I'm interested in an overhaul/expansion in the wiki, too.

Fungus may have had the idea for a few months now, so I don't know if they are still interested in doing so.

And what about this Discord? Is it a server separate from the general Wonderland one? Or is it the same one I've been using?

Yep, it's a separate one: https://discord.gg/sSTTZ7J855

This'll probably get more feedback here than if I posted on the main page talk page, but is it okay if I move some of the category names? "Common Wonderland Errors" could simply become "Errors" (so it's not literally the first category shown on that section of the front page) and "Controllable Characters" as simply "Characters".

This second change would result in some more work like making sure Official Wonderland Adventures Characters fits in that category of course. Seems proper to have it be a more general category shown on the front page.

I see no objection to it, so I'll go ahead and make these changes. For the Characters category I'll be moving a lot of stuff around for it to make sense (subcategories would be Original trilogy and Adventures trilogy characters, enemies, etc). I'll have some notes about it somewhere.

I was doing a little test to see how gifs would look on the Wiki, and I came across a thumbnail generation error.
It can be seen on the following page: https://zbots.space/wiki/File:Suction_Tube.gif

Well, the gif seems to be working now.

Hi all - sorry the mobile view of the Wiki broke; this should be fixed now. Please report anything you found broken on the WonderWiki Discord and ping me!

WonderWiki has been upgraded to MediaWiki 1.43.0!

Huzzah!

Is anybody else getting 403 errors when they try to submit or preview an edit to a wiki page? I first encountered this issue about a couple of weeks ago, and it's still happening for me now.

Hi! Sorry for the radio silence; I've been out sick for an extended period.

Editing should now be fixed!

I just upgraded the MediaWiki version and finally fixed the issue with 403s when editing in source mode. Sorry about that!

Hi all, for some reason our existing question-based CAPTCHA got disabled and the site was hit with a bunch of spambots. Luckily they didn't get far and only created new pages, and the cleanup wasn't too bad.

I've installed new moderation extensions to help with stopping spam. If your edits get stuck, please join the WonderWiki Discord and let us know.
