Moving wiki server and software upgrade
After moving the forum server last week both our wikis DramaWiki and FansubWiki will also move to a new server. At the same time we upgrade our software to MediaWiki version 1.20. During the migration the access to our wikis will be restricted. As soon as the move is complete the temporary IP-addresses links to the new server will be announced. You'll have to access the new server though these temporary links until the name servers are updated. --MoerkJ talk 12:41, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

- Update
The server migration is complete now. There are still a few minor things that need tweaking but editing should work now. The file upload works but is still disabled. At the moment I don't know when DNS is working with the new IP address. --MoerkJ talk 16:58, 16 November 2012 (UTC)
- Update 2
The nameservers should point to the new server now when using wiki.d-addicts.com and fansub.d-addicts.com. The links with the IP address don't work anymore. If your nameservers still point to the old server then you can fix that by adding the following two lines to your hosts file.
46.165.216.86 wiki.d-addicts.com 46.165.216.86 fansub.d-addicts.com
The server response may be a little slower during the next hours due to page caching. And the file upload is enabled again. --MoerkJ talk 02:29, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
