🚀 Wiki Update!
</div>

Hey, [[Stationeers]]!

The wiki has received a major overhaul behind the scenes. Here's what changed and where we're heading:

{| class="wikitable" style="margin: 1em auto;"
! What !! Before !! Now
|-
| '''MediaWiki''' || 1.30 (2017) || '''1.43 LTS''' (latest)
|-
| '''PHP''' || 5.x || '''8.3'''
|-
| '''Database''' || MySQL 5.7 on bare metal || '''MySQL 8.0''' in Docker
|-
| '''Hosting''' || Old Debian 9 (2017) BareMetal server || '''Docker stack''' on Oracle Cloud (ARM64), Traefik reverse proxy, ratelimits & middlewares
|-
| '''Skin''' || Pivot || '''[https://github.com/StarCitizenTools/mediawiki-skins-Citizen Citizen]''' — modern, dark mode, mobile-friendly
|-
| '''Editing''' || Anyone could edit anonymously which [[lead]] to spam, edit chaos and bots || '''Account required''' — request one at [[Special:RequestAccount]], any existing user can approve you
|-
| '''Security''' || Open registration, Google Analytics tracking || '''Approval-based accounts''', no third-party tracking (for now atleast - might change this later to use Google Analytics again
|}

=== What's the same ===
* All pages, images, and edit history have been preserved, nothing was lost in the migration
* The old Pivot skin is still available if you prefer it (change it in [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-rendering|your preferences]])

==== User account cleanup ====
| Removed Spam domain accounts | 1883 |
| Removed users with 0 edits + inactive 1yr | 976 |
All other users are kept - this alone reduces total users by 60% without affecting active users - if you ever made a contribution, your account will still be active.

==== New: User accounts need to get approved ====
From now onwards, '''new user accounts need to be approved'''. Any existing user can approve users - this should allow the community to approve legit people easily while keeping spammers out. The wiki texts recommend asking for approval on the Stationeers Discord - or asking a friend who already has access, if applicable.

=== What's next ===
* Expanding and updating game content for the latest Stationeers builds
* Growing the contributor community — if you'd like to help, [[Special:RequestAccount|request an account]] or simply log in!
