| − | OrbiterWiki | + | OrbiterWiki is being moved to a new server. The new server is already up and running. While the migration is taking place the current server will be locked so that no further edits are possible. Once the old server is locked I can safely copy all the data to the new server to ensure that no edits are lost. |

| + | Due to the way DNS works, the URL "www.orbiterwiki.org" will continue to point to the old server for up to 24 hours due to caching. If you are reading this text this means you are still seeing the old server. | ||
