I took the wiki down for a few weeks while I experimented with updating it to the newest version of Mediawiki. It was disastrous, and I had to start over, but the second attempt was pretty good. We now have the VisualEditor, which is great and haven't lost much, if any, functionality. There might be one issue that pops up but if it does that's a then issue. | |||
Another outstanding issue is regarding the wikis skin. Currently, the default is set to Vector, however, an updated Vector is being worked on, and is really good. The problem is it doesnt allow defaulting to full width, and instead looks like a mobile phone page. Until there's more updates to it to let me make it fullscreen the whole time, Im keeping the default to the original Vector, because trying to design the wiki around both versions would be super annoying. | |||
Getting VisualEditor to work natively was a big impetuous for this. It makes editing so much easier, especially for old stuff. I can't explain how much easier it is to just drag and drop pictures instead of having to go through several step processes to add them to pages. | |||

Over the next few months the primary focus of the editors of The WIDVERSE Wiki will be expanding our articles relating to "The [[Fediverse]]". Providing a partially objective place to document the happenings, groups, and peoples of the diverse culture of the mostly Pleroma based side of Fediverse is extremely important in my opinion. We of course respect the existing "Fediverse Wiki" but it is incompletely, rarely updated, and shamefully biased. | |||

As the history of The 3rd COMMUNISM Civil War began to be written in late 2018, tempers were still high, anger was still fresh, and wounds still open. In that disgruntled state, much of the naming scheme of the events was invented purely for shock factor and insult, giving way to the name "Incel Uprising" and of course "The Incels" to refer to the former admins that split off of BMW during the event. | As the history of The 3rd COMMUNISM Civil War began to be written in late 2018, tempers were still high, anger was still fresh, and wounds still open.
