RPtools Wiki is Down?

Post by Longshot »

[EDIT BY MODERATOR:] New wiki (for now) is up: https://rptools.hyperbooks.com (thx taustinoc)

Has it moved? Or is it down?

It's down. Craig won't be able to get to it until this weekend. There's a web archive of the site if you need to look something up.

It is being worked on, but very slow going. There is a fairly recent snapshot at the Wayback Machine:

Is there anything we can do to help the restoration efforts of the wiki?

There's a lot of cleanup to do because most of the templates either didn't import, or didn't import right. So I've been going through every page, one by one, cleaning them up. (Mostly, I've been copying them from the archive.org copy, and adding in the formatting.) It's going fairly quickly at this point, but there's a lot of pages. I'm nearly done with the Macro Functions (in the latter part of the letter "S"). After that, the rest won't take too long. First pass should be done this week. I hope.

Unfortunately, there are some pages missing from the XML file I have, and from the archive.org copy, which will be problematic. And there are a lot of missing images, some of which can be recreated with screen captures, and some of which not so much.

As to how you could help, that depends on how familiar you are with MediaWiki. I'm learning, but it's all new to me. i can set you up with a login as an editor, and you could look for broken links and see if you can figure them out, or try to recreate some of the screen capture images.
