Revision as of 21:48, 22 September 2017

OpenWetWare will be migrating to a new server on Friday, September 22, 2017.

Migration will take at least several hours as we copy 6G of text and 150G of images, upgrade our 10-year-old mediawiki software, and run complete checks on the database.

During migration, OpenWetWare will be read-only - you will be able to read articles, but not make edits.

After migration, the following features will no longer be supported:

  • de-wikified pages: these subdomains will redirect to their source pages
  • private wikis: you will need to move your data, either to a public wiki page or somewhere else

Some content may appear broken for a few days after migration, as we fix pages with unused parser hooks and raw html.

Please check back here for updates.
