Welp.
I think it's best to just go forward with the assumption that it won't come back.

Small idea, but in case anything happens in the future, it would be a good idea to install the Wayback Machine browser extension and save the page once a month. Just in case something happens again.

So yeah some updates for those (like myself) with questions, haha. Basically, as I understand it, the tl;dr version is. Like. If data can be recovered: we're probably gonna have to go through each and every page and make sure that the revisions are all merged or something. We have over 600 pages at present (old and new). We had somewhere over a thousand pages (including those that got backed up) before the db141 situation.

Hi everyone! We have very important news regarding db141: Yesterday, we were able to access and recover the data on the corrupted drives, including the drives which contained the original db141. We intend to begin restoring affected wikis as soon as possible and we will be releasing more information about it once we get details finalised. Now, during our scheduled maintenance yesterday, we encountered an issue attempting to get new storage drives detected by our cloud13 server. We asked our hosting provider to reseat the disks but we then deemed it unnecessary and cancelled the request. Unfortunately, the request was still being processed and our hosting provider mistakenly reseated cloud14's drives while the server was on. Due to this, the server locked up and we had to run some file system repair tools (fsck specifcially) to get it back online. Once cloud14 and all its virtual servers came back up, we discovered that because the new db141 was running and writing data when that happened, the database had become corrupted. Thankfully, we ran backups for most wikis yesterday so they should be safe. This has made the task of restoring wikis affected by the original db141 outage a bit easier. What we plan to do is restore all original db141 wikis from the recovered disks and then, using our backups, merge new edits made on the recreated wikis back into these original wikis. We do not have an ETA for when we will do this but we are thrilled to have recovered the data. We apologise for yet another downtime on these wikis but this incident has helped foment stronger backup procedures to prevent catastrophic disasters from occurring. We are now working to restore these wikis and we will provide more information once we have it. Thank you for your understanding. TL;DR: We recovered the data from the broken, original db141 disks but the new db141 was corrupted due to a hosting provider error. We have backups from yesterday so we will now restore the original db141 and merge the edits from recreated wikis back into the old wikis. This is something.

Uh yeah It may take a few days since their global user table is now out of sync with the old wikis so they're gonna. Like. Be dealing with that, haha. EDIT:Okay, upload speed tanked, so the last ~130 GB remaining will take at least six or seven days. Hopefully, it'll go back to normal soon but if not, well, I can wait~

Most wikis that were hosted on the original server, db141, have now been brought back online. The db141 hostname has been retired due to its history and has been replaced with db142. A few of the original wikis have not yet been able to be restored, and wikis that were recreated after the initial outage are also still not back online yet. We are still working on this process to bring all wikis back online fully. Wikis created (initial creation) after 25 November will not be possible to restore the databases. However, we have XML backups for all public wikis beginning with A-O, and we can restore those wikis from backups by importing them. We are still working out the logistics of how to handle this. If you requested a recreation after the initial outage, it will take a bit more time to get those wikis back online. The version that will eventually be restored will be the pre-16 November version. If you wish to have the wiki reset or imported from personal backups, or if it is one that we have backups for, you may later request a reset of that wiki to this state. It should also be noted that around 20 original wikis (https://phabricator.miraheze.org/P475) were (so far) unable to be restored due to varying degrees of issues, such as missing or corrupted tables. We are not certain of our ability to restore these wikis later. We will try our best to get everything fully operational again. Thank you for bearing with us during this time and for your patience. In light of these issues, some additional plans have been put in place, such as actively making automated wiki backups again (stored externally, off-site). Additionally, an internal SRE policy has been drafted and should become public soon, which will formalise our policy regarding server maintenance and require that backups be 100% complete and stored off the affected servers before any maintenance can be conducted. We apologise for all the issues that have occurred over the past month and hope to never have an issue like this again. If you encounter any database exceptions on any of the restored wikis, please let us know. Update: Wikis that were originally recreated are now being brought back online with their original data. No data after the recreation will be available. If a backup exists, it may be imported. Alternatively, you may later request a reset. Though I can't access the wiki due to internal errors, and apparently I can access it using incognito windows. So. According to CA, it "might be related to global and local tables being unsynced". So yeah, I just need to be more patient.

Updated a majority of the fan Pokémon sandbox pages, with just like eight regions remaining, I think? Those are gonna take a while so I'mma take a break, haha.
EDIT: Right, that's down to three regions now, I think. Frede, Wolfsburg and Orana. Those are gonna take quite some time since they're split into multiple pages, though.

Updated this huge page and. Like. Ye gods, we're up to 300 base Bloom Beast species. Including extinct ones, but still. Also added which fan regions have fakemon based on Bloom Beasts, for those curious to see what typing I'd give 'em, haha. This includes King's Watermelon Centipede.

Right, hopefully all of the XOver-related pages link to this page now, but if you guys find any instances that don't have a link back, lemme know and I'll pummel a link into that page.
