We Are Back! (Sort Of)

This is our last post regarding the Cargo situation. See our first and second posts for more background information. Hello everyone! We are happy to announce that we are rebuilding our game data database. During this time, some of the previous functionality will still not be available, or will only be partially available.      Last blog post we mentioned that we started our first feedback form . It currently only has 12 responses, so please consider giving us your thoughts on the current state of the wiki! Rebuilding the database     Previously, we tried using Semantic MediaWiki (SMW), but due to technical limitations we weren't able to replicate what we previously had with Cargo . During the time we were trialing SMW, Miraheze was able to introduce a mitigation to reduce the security risk with having Cargo installed.     We've only recently gotten Cargo re-enabled, so it may take a while to get everything back to where it was. Like previously mentioned, we'll be rebuild

This is a follow up to our previous post about Cargo being disabled. Hello, we've noticed that Sekaipedia has gotten more unusable over the past week following Cargo being disabled. This includes pages not loading, pages with broken layouts, and images being missing. This is a culmination of unfortunate coincidences: Semantic MediaWiki being enabled, a possible incorrect setup? Possibly causes 503s and broken layouts Hardware issue on one of the servers Causes images to not load      For the most update to date info on the status of the Cargo and disk issue, check out Miraheze's SRE noticeboard . There is a possibility of an additional cause for the 503s not related to Semantic MediaWiki, but we do not know the cause. An example 503 page      Because of these issues, we may not have the most update to date game information at this time. However, even with the downtime we still have plans to bring the wiki back to a state before Cargo being disabled as close as possible. Moving

Unexpected Disruption Due to Extension Security Vulnerability

We have a follow up post regarding 503's and images being missing. Hello, this is the Sekaipedia team! Recently, Miraheze disabled the Cargo extension on all of their wikis due to a security vulnerability. We've been told that it hasn't been exploited, however, all users have been logged out as a safety precaution. There is currently no ETA on when this extension will be re-enabled, however, should we get any updates from Miraheze, we will definitely let you all know. How does this impact us?      Cargo serves as our database, and is how we get data from one page to another. Without Cargo, we cannot automatically pull the most up to date data without having to manually edit all dependent pages. As you can imagine, the more pages that the wiki has, the more manual edits will need to be made for any updates.      This means any and every data table on this wiki will no longer have any data on them. Here are a non-exhaustive list of pages that will be affected: Song data li

Let's RE:START From Here! - Our Plans for the Future

Hello, this is the Project SEKAI Wiki team! We know it's been a rough week at Miraheze with the intermittent server outages, so we appreciate everyone's patience in waiting it out with us. Moving forward, w e're happy to announce some upcoming changes to the wiki! Even though the wiki has grown a great deal over the last year, we feel like we still can do a better job in not only getting the most up to date information, but also getting more involved with the Sekai community this coming year. Thus, we have started this blog as well as created several social media accounts to help facilitate this. Our goal with this blog is mainly to give insight into our upcoming plans. Our Twitter account, @sekaipedia, will be analogous to the official Project SEKAI Twitter account and will be posting new articles as well as articles that have changed as the game has changed. Our Reddit account, u/Sekaipedia , will be mostly posting short announcements related to this blog and to reply to
