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)
Updates December 2012/January 2013
Recently, a few things got added or fixed on DramaWiki:
- The latest MediaWiki patches were added. Our software version is now 1.20.2.
- Page information is a new page action available in the sidebar's toolbox. It displays stats of an article in a human-readable way that were previously hidden inside the source code of the page.
- Because of the last major software upgrade the table sorting for the DramaWiki formatted dates (yyyy-Mmm-dd) got broken. This happened because the sort code moved to the jQuery JavaScript library in MW1.18 which broke our sort patches in the wikibits.js script. With the new fix the dates are now sorted chronological instead of alphabetical again, see KBS TV Novel. The tablesorter works also with cells that contain other text after a date (i.e. date ranges) and you can even force the new sort-type to a column of mixed formats, see example.
- A few templates got added or extended:
- {{multicolumntext}} and {{multicol}} for multi-column text
- {{customTOC}} and {{customTOC2}} for dramas with many sections, examples: Rude Miss Young-Ae and Honto ni Atta Kowai Hanashi Season 2
- the {{airing}} template has now an optional parameter to link to a new season, example: Rude Miss Young-Ae
- from now on new templates can be documented using a documentation system similar to the one Wikipedia uses.
Updates February/March 2013
Some more template changes:
- update: {{upcoming}} tag: added one optional parameter
- new: {{birth date and age}} template for artist profiles; it's a rather complex template which uses several other date templates
- new: {{rightTOC}} template mostly for complex structured project pages (e.g. style guide) or lists (e.g. 2012 KDrama list)
Update May 2013
The latest MediaWiki software patches were added. Our software version is now 1.20.5.
