• The server is suffering from low performance. Especially page saves take a frustratingly long time. Going to make backups and a snapshot of the server and see if I can figure out what is causing the slow performance. Jukeboksi (talk) 15:50, 17 November 2018 (UTC)

The wiki's account registrations were on a lock-down for a while due to bots with ability to pass NOCAPTCHA regged accounts for spam purposes.

Today I installed and tested the ConfirmAccount extension (account creation moderation) so if someone (a real human) wants an account they can get it.

The ConfirmAccount extension asks only for user name, email address and a free-form message of arbitrary length. Jukeboksi (talk) 18:55, 27 January 2018 (EET)
