Greetings,
the server may not be accessible from time to time, because some router is causing issues on my ISPs site. This should be fixed soonish.

I do wonder, if it would be possible to make the Istaria Lexica a little bit safer with a SSL certificate? Let's Encrypt is very handy.

Hi Pharaxes,
there's no point in making the connection more secure at all. You don't transfer user-sensitive data through the connection, as you would do when managing your bank account online, for example.
However, I'll check what I can do with my slightly aged system.

The server should be 100% reachable again. Let me know if there are any more issues!
I know that I use a different password for each site.
But when someone else does not and the login gets sniffed, then someone can get the password in clear text and try it on other pages as well.

I'm sorry to tell that SSL isn't possible for the domain. There are a few problems on my server which I cannot solve at all. This makes the SSL support fail.
Some small updates to the wiki:
Template:Quest now shows required crafting school, crafting level, crafting skill and crafting skill levels.
A new Template:RequiredItems has been created, it enlists all required items for a quest.
The sandbox is no longer useable by anonymous users, to prevent spamming.
You'll need to register and log in to use it in the future.
Congrats everyone to the 15000th article entered in the Wiki!
Well done, everyone. Keep up the good work
Hiya,
the server is shutting down for short while for maintenance.
Server is back up and ready.
Server is going for a reboot now. It should be back up in a moment.
Server is back up and ready to serve
Congrats Istaria Lexica on 16666 articles!
Thanks to all of you who have given feedback or even committed to the whole lots of contents!
Thank you for Lexica!!!
Server is moving to new Hardware
On Tuesday, 3rd November, Istaria Lexica will be moved onto new server hardware. A few issues should be fixed afterwards and performance should increase a little. The site will not be available for the time being.
I'll let everyone know when it's ready to serve again.
The migration to the new server is more time consuming than I thought and will still take a whole while. Don't expect Lexica to be ready within the next 10-12 hours. Sorry for the inconvenience.
I'll let you know once it's ready again.
Istaria Lexica is back online and ready to serve!
The following updates came to the site:
- SSL support! (*glances at Pharaxes*)
- New, faster server hardware. Page loading should be a bit more performant.
- Even more hard drive space for the wiki (not that we needed it)
- New MediaWiki Software with toooons of bug fixes
- Old Internet Explorers sometimes displayed litter instead of certain pages, fixed
- Database Errors while committing your changes should happen no more
- The WikiEditor got updated and looks slightly different now
- A few buttons were redesigned and are even more ugly
Have fun reading!

Greetings everyone,
Istaria Lexica will be down for a backup. Afterwards it may behave slowly for several hours due to some maintenance tasks and a major update on content. I'll let everyone know when I am done.
