The wiki move has been completed, in most cases with no downtime, and in the rest with only minor downtime.
The new server is considerably more powerful than the old, so the wikis should now be much more responsive during times of high load.

The link in your signature does not seem to work, is this related to the server move?

Huh, it is working fine for me.

Weird, for me it says: "Page Web inaccessible" (in french, non-accesible webpage).
 
Double post but, would it be possible to have a MotE-wiki and a Sengoku-wiki? It could make it easier for new players to get into those games and maybe attract even more players. I do understand though if this would be too much work to maintain.

I'll think about it, but it seems unlikely it'll be worth the effort.

Does the wiki server mainrtance cost you anything more for additional wikis?
 
Meneth said:
The server, no.
The domains, yes.

So adding a MotE-domain or Sengoku-domain would cost more? Or is it the entire paradoxwiki domain that you pay for?

Adding a subdomain is free. So "mote.paradoxwikis.com" wouldn't cost anything.
Aquiring an actual domain isn't. So "sengokuwiki.com" would cost money.

How expensive are domains?

Not very. 10 to 15 USD a year. About 15 USD in my case since I pay VAT on top of the base price.

The work involved is really more of an issue than the cost when it comes to setting up new wikis.
 
Ok.

Also from registration page:

WARNING: Asirra, the cat and dog CAPTCHA, is closing permanently on October 6, 2014. Please contact this site's administrator and ask them to switch to a different CAPTCHA. Thank you!

Sigh, why does the best CAPTCHA service out there have to close.
I guess I'll have to deal with that shortly.

I've replaced Asirra with ReCAPTCHA now.
Sadly, it is likely there'll be more spam on the wiki now, as far more spam bots can handle ReCAPTCHA than Asirra.
 
Sigh, already three spam bots have managed to get through the system.
However, I've set up an abuse filter now that should prevent nearly all spam, and with essentially no false positives, so shouldn't be a big issue. Though I expect to wake up tomorrow to a good number of emails saying various spam bot accounts got automatically blocked.
 
Can you sign up to the entire paradoxwikis domain or are you forced to make a new account for each?

Accounts are global to the wiki network, so registering on one of the wikis registers you to all of them (and all future wikis I set up).
