MediaWiki:Sitenotice:
2025-12-29: I have restored the wiki to a backup from the end of November. Starting in September 2025, accesses went form the 800MB-1.2GB range per month to 26GB in September, 42GB in October, and 70GB in November with most accesses originating from China. As soon as I realized what was causing all the access problems in November, I shut it down (it had reached 36GB by then) behind a password/login screen. The database had gotten corrupted, and I tried a restore from just before the spike in access but that didn't work. Thus, end of November. I still have the other daily backups so if there were any important additions in December, let me know and maybe they can be recovered. - Allen H.

Sub-categories
I see you made a category of "Software" under "Game", creating a subcategory. I did not know this was possible until today, and see you already knew this. Is there a way to have duplicate sub-categories? Like, can we have "Software:Joystick" to be a cat/subcat indicating Software that require Joysticks, but have "Hardware:Joystick" be a cat/subcat indicating a hardware device that IS a joystick? --OS-9 Al (talk)
- Well, I noticed the "Software" and "Game" templates are not really compatible, so I was thinking to revert my change -- Polluks (talk) 14:37, 31 August 2016 (CDT)
- All new InfoBox templates and a new tag/category system are being worked on at this moment. Check out InfoBox_Templates for the all-new (work-in-progress) templates, and List of Tags for the category suggestions. The tag page is where I'd love your help figuring out how to link the categories ("tags"). I also installed the Category Tree browser, so it will help us visualize what works together. --OS-9 Al (talk)
