Disabled Features
The following features are no longer supported:
- de-wikified pages: these subdomains now redirect to their source pages
- private wikis: ask us for a database dump if you need it
- raw HTML: this is a huge security problem and we will not re-enable it. Most HTML was used for formatting only, and can be replaced by wiki markup. If you need HTML for something special, you can ask an admin to create a template for you.
- Many old plugins and parser hooks - if you find anything broken and want it fixed, please let us know!
Details
The old server was marked read-only (no edits allowed) on Friday, September 22, 2017 and the new server was made public on Saturday, September 23, 2017.
