Major Wiki Reorganization In Progress!

Just giving you guys a heads up, I'm making some major changes to the way the wiki is organized:
  • Due to the number of factions overrunning the root namespace, there's now a faction namespace where most factions are going to go. Large and active factions may be excluded, at least for now, except for their index pages, which will go in the faction namespace too. Example: faction:yamatai_star_empire

Retiring Some Themes

Hey Star Army!

In order to reduce the amount of work I have to do keeping up with styles, particularly older ones, I'm planning on retiring some of our older forum styles that are not used much, starting next month. These are the styles I plan to remove:

  • Reduced max file upload size from about 20 MB to 12 MB
  • Keep less copies of automated backups of the forum
  • Dropped support for non-English languages on the wiki
