Apparently it's an outage on Miraheze's end.
I was gonna update some more Infinity lore... but I suppose not.

Disk issues apparently. And unluckily the XOver Wiki was on the broken database.

This is uncharted territory; in the seven years that Miraheze has been around, they've apparently neve encountered this sort of issue before. So it's gonna take some time. Best we can do is be patient, haha. EDIT: 1/5th of the wikis are down. That's. Like. 1400 or so, apparently. EDIT: An update I guess

Yeah. It'd be super devastating to me if everything on that wiki, all the 1000+ pages (I think?), were gone just like that. I'd be like--

But I'll be okay. Somehow. Like. I already lost everything on the previous two hard drives of my computer. So I've had to start from scratch with less games now due to less space. All I can do is make the best of a bad situation.

Another update; quoting from the Miraheze Discord server: Yep, quick summary: 1. Stuff is looking bad but not fully off-table yet for data recovery. Timeline for that if at all possible is multiple weeks. 2. There is now a request process to get your wiki re-opened on the freshly installed db141, and it's basically a fresh install -- all text content will be gone 3. Images shouldn't be affected, so you'll still have access to all images you uploaded The community has found some XML backups available for their text content on Archive.org, I'm writing a guide on searching for that stuff now If you do proceed with getting a fresh install done and data recovery does happen later, there is some options for merges of the recovered content with what you do after reopening. So yeah, that's not fun.

Oh man... that's a lot of content that's gonna be gone. I feel bad for the Miraheze volunteers too, this feels like a massive blow to them.

Best we can do now is hope for the best. Send out rays of super-powered hope and stuff like that.

Yeah…
I requested yesterday that the wiki be recreated from scratch. As I understand it, IF Miraheze can recover the data, they can always re-merge that on top of whatever else was added in the meantime.
Though this will take a while since it's just. Like. One person going through the requests right now, I think. And it'll take a while to know whether or not data recovery is an actual option. So prepare for anything - best case, worst case, average case, basket case--
Right now, the request has been verified. So that's a start. May take a while to get to the recreation part, haha.
It's sad, but what else can we do but wait? I really wanna edit pages on the wiki but I can't do that right now since. You know. The db141 situation. So. Like. Recreating the wiki and working on stuff that didn't have pages yet might be a good idea, at least it's one to me, haha.

The wiki has been recreated, from scratch. I've requested an import dump earlier, and that's been done, so we've got wiki pages for everything up to, it looks like, 26 June (that's the most recent on archive.org it seems). So everything after that will have to be recreated, unless we get lucky and. Like. Data recovery for the db141-affected wikis are possible.
I'm still holding lots of hope though.

Okay So Like {Quote wall} Why aren't the chances of recovery high? Did someone grill those disks? 😭 It's really 50/50. We don't exactly know how recoverable the disks are. The partition table was overwritten which makes data recovery harder but not impossible but we don't want to get people's hopes up so as to not let them down Indeed, that's why many people have already opted to use the archive.org August 2022 backups and restart from there. the true answer is 'we don't know' 'not very high' is a form of the answer to avoid overly optimistic expectations owen's findings come down to no apparent physical damage but the partitions for the drives are buggered up So yeah, that's the situation right now. (I believe this Owen person is a staff member of Miraheze or something.)
