Shireroth

I have an old copy of it that James gave me... the database that is.. but I don't know what do to do with it.. nor how to get the wiki back up and running again.... anyone know? I stole the stuff that was on the old site itself and put it back again.. but the MySQL databases are gone... and I don't know how to rebuild them...

My solution is to reinstall the wiki... the latest version and set the server to PHP5... might as well...

And the MySQL manager hates me....

Are you not able to make a database? Cause other than entering the name of the database in it looks good to go.

I can't seem to get the database set up... maybe I don't get to name the database what I want...

I will shrink it...

I tracked down a copy of the old wiki logo. It's up at http://www.raikoth.net/Pictures/Random/wikilogo.PNG . Set the config file there when you get time.

Before I became citizen I came a lot on that wiki, o that good old time!

I can't find where to edit that....

nevermind

Have the wiki issues been sorted? If not, I could offer assistance. I've set up a wiki before, for what it's worth.

the technical issues are resolved... we just need to get it updated again.... a long process...

There were three huge spam articles - drug access & such. Erik had erased them, and somebody put them back------

I deleted the text again.

MNN has gone so far as to insist on a log-in to edit & post. This may violate the spirit of the thing, but their spam has dropped off.

I'm trying to remember how we dealt with it in the past...

All of these appear to be a more sophisticated 'bot, or maybe a poorly paid 3rd world person.

They all post the same, large, innoucous article (I think about the Oxford English Dictionary) and fill it with ads, some in Chinese.

MNN has banned them. I erased what I could.

Well, since not much was happening with your wiki, I took it on myself to fill some holes.

I went to the "Pages wanted". If a page showed 4 links or more, I copied it from MNN. I did not edit these pages, except the occasional spelling correction.

This included some templates, a bunch of "Kaiser" articles, and whatever else called for 4 links.

I'm sure I missed a few. Most articles are marked "Copied from MNN". Some of these I am sure had their origins in Shireroth before the wiiki meltdown.

Please accept this gift as a gesture of friendship from the Federal Republic of Cyberia, and from yours truly.

Well, oodles and scads of articles have been added/restored to your wiki. Many of them seem to have had their origins here before.

These are the Top 20 "wanted" articles, by link.

Ari Rahikkala links)
Istvanistan links)
Tony Au links)
Machiavellia links)
Union of Apollo States links)
Kaiser Paul I links)
Elwynn links)
Kaiser Leto I links)
Real History links)
Kaiser Leto II links)
Kaiser Paul II links)
Kaiser Paul IV links)
Andrew White links)
Observances links)
Rakesh Ackbar links)
Blackrock links)
Template:Grifos links)
Eriana Moon links)
Kaiser Paul V links)
William !@#$ links)

Someone is is and/or was one of these people, or who have knowledge of the events, would be best suited to write the articles.

I'll plug away. I want to try to retrieve as many articles about the Kaisers as possible.

Well, I'm to the point were I'm writng stubby articles about people based on what can be found easily.
