Wiki site version? (Database access)

[Diazo]

Keith/Chris:

I'm looking at the wiki and trying to come up with a way to avoid having to touch every single ship page when a change is made. (See the Ship Cap change or the proposed Armor Change.)

I was going to grab a copy of MediaWiki to mess around, but are you able to tell me the details of how yours installed? What DB does it run on, what extensions are installed, etc.

For anyone else reading, I'm trying to create a single DB file (or page) that I would create from the DB dumps from the game and then would only have to upload a single file for the numerical changes in a patch, rather then each page individually. If anyone has any ideas about this please post about them.

Thanks,

D.

Thanks for all the hard work

I don't know anything about our MediaWiki install, really, but I've asked Chris if he does.  If not I can try investigating how one does something like this with MediaWiki.  It would certainly be nice to not have to manually update everything

Sure thing!

We've got this running on MySQL, and to my recollection this is just a vanilla install, no extensions. The version of it would be circa 2009 or so, but that ought to be findable through some sort of about page on the wiki itself, I'd think.

Alright, I'll mess around with a local copy and see what I can do.
