Microwiki and its Fate:

St. Fenix · Post by **St. Fenix** » Sat Nov 18, 2006 7:45 am

Greetings my Foreign Shirerethian Comrades!,

I am St. Fenix the Chairman of Kampong, and a long time user of Microwiki which Shireroth has so generously provided over the last several years.

I would like nothing more then to come here and bring praise for the work that Shireroth has done on Microwiki, that it has become a symbol of Micronationalism itself. However the truth at the moment is not quite that.

Microwiki has been suffering from some sort of error for the past two months (or maybe one, I can't remember) And it has impacted the way that Micronationalism in general has used the resource.

It is beacause of this that I bring this subject up to all Shirerethians in order to remedy the problem, and Save the useage of Microwiki for future Micronations. We can't do without this brilliant Resource.

thanks for the time,

-St. Fenix
-Chairman of Kampong
-Chairman of the MCC

Most of the original admins are gone. Shoot. I'll find moose or Fax and tell them.

I decided to do a small amount of research and it turns out the errors that are being thrown are signs of table corruption. That means running an SQL-REPAIR on the tables will fix them... but at fairly probable loss of data. Of course, some data versus none at all (as it is at the moment) is better than nothing; and the solution to the problem is simple enough; so it's somewhat good news, right?

Now the owner of shireroth.com just has to actually run REPAIRs on the tables.

(Not that it took me being a genius to find the above facts out, mind)

most people have moved on from the shireroth one to http://www.mnn.mncentre.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page now...

If Shirewiki can be salvaged, it would serve the community at large to have two repositories of history.

If history is any guide, it is that MN sites are hacked. If both wikis function, perhaps we do not need to loose everything.

I think the shirewiki is doomed, no one has the ability to fix it... most articles were moved safely (although my nation's article was deleted

) and many people are prepared and have backups... i think... i do anyway...

Well, it doesn't matter if it can't be fixed, it'll just be a really large copy-paste job from Shireroth MicroWiki into MNN MicroWiki

What about the micronations.wikia.com wiki?

Post by **Scott of Hyperborea** » Wed Jan 31, 2007 7:56 pm

Wow. I've never seen that one before. But it looks like it's from a different part of micronationalism and most of what they have on our sector is lifted from the old ShireWiki.

Lachlan, did you know about that?

i've certainly never heard of that...

I have heard of it and I find that microwiki not so interesting.

Website's alive, Wiki's still in the same state.

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/u4/shireroth/html/wiki/includes/ObjectCache.php on line 409

We need the webmaster of shireroth.org to run the a SQL Repair (as Neike describes in detail above). Who is that exactly?

Nieke is the leader of a very small micronation called Dark Arcadia. She is located in Germany, where she is studying high level computer construction that is way beyond my understanding. I think she would be a great consultant to assist us in reconfiguring our forum back to health.

I think benkern was asking about the identity of the shireroth webmaster... not me. I'm not that important.

*hugs hypatias mom* I'm flattered you interpreted it as you did, though.

That's me these days...
