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.

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
