Wiki up again

The Wiki is up again. Still not possible to login but we're hoping to be able to activate this again soon in the future.

Links to the wiki are orphaned again.

The "Wiki!" link on the red bar atop the forum pages points to:
"http://www.hookedgamers.com/wiki/Sid_Meier%27s_Railroads%21"

So I back-traced the URL and started from:
http://www.hookedgamers.com/wiki/

I then clicked the link where the URL text says:
"http://www.hookedgamers.com/w/images/Wh ... lroads.jpg", but the URL itself is:
"http://www.hookedgamers.com/gamewiki/Sid_Meier%27s_Railroads%21"

I think once you sort out whether to use ../wiki/.. or ../gamewiki/.. the bigger part of the issue will be resolved.

edited: Oh, the issue is a bit more complex. There are many broken or orphaned links in the wiki as well. For example, the downloads come from (apparently) ../a/download.php. But that's gone missing (along with the default 404 page).

Code: Select all

The requested URL /a/download.php was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Okay, odd. I only just now did the move to /gamewiki/ so for 4 days no one responds, and then when someone responds, it is when I'm working on it. :)

I reinstalled the Wiki software from the ground up. I needed to do that in order to fix the login issue. People who have a forum account can now log in and edit pages again.

Yes, links are orphaned unfortunately but most of them were long before I reinstalled.

The reinstall did also break the images. I'll see if I can remedy this, if not, it'll be a manual ordeal to fix 'm.

As long as we are speaking of the Wiki, something needs be discussed/decided. Originally the Maps section was pointing to downloads for the Installers. I can see three new possibilities here:

1) Three seperate sections, one for the original map download (only those proven working), one for the Installer and one for the SAM/CIC.

2) One section with a listing for each map, and a link for the original, Installer and SAM/CIC.

3) One section with a listing for each map, but it sends you to the first post of the map, from which you choose which download you want.

Just to make it clear, I'm not speaking of having all three of the above, but using one of them.
I'm correct 97% of the time..... who cares about the other 4%....
