could you make this the size of an iphone wall paper?

A functional mobile view has finally been added! The Main Page has also been modified to play nicer with the mobile skin. You can still use the classic view of the site by going to the bottom and clicking "Desktop".

Is the wiki completely gone or was the moderator keeping a backup?
I think for the wiki we should have open access to download database which are uploaded monthly or bimonthly.

Tell me the Wiki isn't gone. Please…

>>1947530
it is.

>>1947530
We are still hoping to get access to the backups once the old admin sees that we need him to give us access.

The Iraq page is filled with neolib/islamist horseshit

Not so revolutionary

>>1947621
Is this a server snapshot, or was the wiki itself being included in regular backups?

>>1948380
AFAIK everything was on the same server

>>1948489
Sure. That doesn't answer my question.

This could have been completely avoided. All that had to be done was to take backups of the wiki database. /leftypol/ Jannies/Mods/Whatever shouldn't even be needed for this.
Stopped being involved in the wiki partly because of an assumption like something like this would happen.
This is why you should not waste your time on such projects.

>i stopped being involved because a disaster i could have completely avoided was inevitable
Nice self-own, nerd.

wish i had never bothered writing a well cited article

>>1955067
we're still hoping to get the data back, but i'm sorry anon

>>1955067
I feel you. Really hoping that it gets recovered.

>>1955067
It's very frustrating, I wrote some things on oct7 I'd love to still have access to including sources used.
I'm going to try archive.org but I wasn't auto-archiving at the time.
Why were wiki mods independent of the staff doung backups? In mediawiki this can be done through mediawiki iirc.

you wrote this entire paragraph because you don't understand people doing a "this but unironically" bit

>dissolving the Soviet Union illegally
Do you think the Soviet Union was formed legally?
absolute libshit.

>>1966692
Yes, it was formed by the proletariat, arguably it's one of the few legal states to ever exist

>>1968914
kill anyone who disagrees and now its legal comrade! how convenient.

Are we there yet?

Are we there yet?

2 more weeks.

Wikis have a short shelf life.

They peak within 3-5 years in new users, then it becomes crowded, fights break out, and the whole thing collapses.

Happened to every wiki ever. The software is terrible for long-term content. It's good for short term brainstorming.

Hey guys. I'm gonna make a new OP soon to announce the new state of things, but in short, the wiki is back up, this time at a non-profit wiki-hosting site, and with very little content lost. While the devs here were willing to continue to host, it was agreed that having both under the same roof would have just caused more of these kinds of issues. Our unofficial affiliation with this site will continue, and the link to Leftypedia will stay on the sidebar here.

The contents of the wiki as it now stands were taken from a backup made in April of this year, and include images, articles, edit history, and even categories; in addition, much more content is preserved at the Wayback Machine, including a very recent version (September 2024) of the lengthy article on the current events in Gaza. Yes, before you ask, the latter are front-end i.e. HTML pages and will take some work to copy over by hand into wiki formatting. I'm willing to do this myself if you all give me time, but I wanted to announce the site's return as soon as it was in a usable form rather than make everyone wait for me to have every article done.

I must be honest and say that I don't think the most recent changes, including the very recent and well-written article by Mao Anon, were archived by Wayback Machine. I will make certain that the new site has downloadable archives for those who have requested them to prevent this happening again. But I want to stress that 90-97% of our content has been preserved in some shape or form. Leftypedia will recover easily from this - much more easily than when leftypedia.org was lost, and even then the site's content and userbase continued to grow. There has been some talk about getting Krates to restore missing files but I frankly don't know what that's about and haven't gotten a straight answer, so I'm going forward with this until I hear otherwise.

Finally, I want to add that unlike other resources and communities, wikis are useful no matter how quiet or neglected they become, so long as they can stay alive somewhere on the web. Leftypedia fills an important niche and I will continue to work to help it grow. To the the haters and losers, I can only extend my best wishes and a happy October 7th.

Why exactly should you be trusted to run a wiki which you lost 6 MONTHS OF CONTENT ON BECAUSE YOU OR THE BO DIDNT UNDERSTAND BACKUPS

This is the billionth time this wiki has failed to do the bare minimum of maintenance. If this wiki goes back up it should remove itself of any affiliations which has caused its demise in the past. It is not a leftypol wiki and that confusion has led to way too much unecessary drama.

>>1979894

You'd think that after seeing first-hand a "left-unity" wiki and its community implode because of its inherent contradictions that people would get tried of this failed project. Guess not. I give Leftypedia 3.0 a few months at most.

which?

>>1979905
>Why exactly should you be trusted to run a wiki which you lost 6 MONTHS OF CONTENT ON BECAUSE YOU OR THE BO DIDNT UNDERSTAND BACKUPS

Are you volunteering to take over then?

>>1979905
The issue wasn't not understanding backups, you moron.

yay, it's back. my article's back too

Am I the only one here that knows Wikipedia has different language subdomains that have different articles? Sometimes it is just a translation of the English page and occasionally vice versa but other times far more detailed and nuanced positions are revealed for the same topics. Just take those and translate them and see if you can find matching information in English sources. Ideally human translation but you somewhat can pull off machine translation if you're careful to cross compare with multiple translators. Then once something is decide as of high quality for sources being as bias free or at least accurate and held in high regard as possible try to take over English Wikipedia with these revised articles if it's an actual improvement instead of limiting it to an obscure Wiki no one is going to find. Just make sure to use an account, you expose your IP without one.
