Wiki Broken?
I'm fairly new to DCSS, but having played quite a few roguelikes the first place I usually go to get up to speed is the wiki. However, right now every page I try to open is blank aside from the title (for some reason nothing is getting rendered in div#mw-content-text inside div#bodyContent). This is happening across multiple browsers and devices so I'm guessing it's not just me?
Is there anyone here who maintains the site infrastructure and/or could fix this? From a quick google it's possibly this: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Errors_and_symptoms#All_pages_have_no_content.2C_but_when_editing_a_page_the_wiki_text_is_there
On a related note, when the wiki was working a few days ago I emailed register.crawlwiki@gmail.com for an account to edit the wiki (while as I said I'm a fairly new player, I have a background in technical documentation and will happily dive into the game source and patch notes to check stuff). Sadly I haven't yet had any response...
I'm guessing most established players don't use the wiki site a great deal? Between the forums, irc etc there are definitely a bunch of good ways to get information and help as either a new or experienced player. But I think every good roguelike should have a well maintained wiki and it's certainly the first place I would go for information. It's sad to see the wiki for such a solid game in a bit of a state of disrepair (even before this issue there was a lot of out of date info on there), and I would be super happy to contribute to keeping it more up to date if I can!
