Recent updates
Hi! OrbiterWiki is on a new server again, and should be a bit faster now. It's also running the latest software now. Among notable improvements is improved support for high-DPI screens (or zooms above 100% on any screen). In particular, thumbnails will now be sharp as long as the source image is large enough, and MediaWiki Math equations are rendered nicely for such devices.
I've modified the main page slightly; if anyone wishes to trim down the list of links, suggestions are welcome.
Finally, I'm thinking about switching the default font for the entire site; if done, the site will look like this: low DPI high DPI. Speak up now if you have objections!

Fighting the spam
Can we enable the ConfirmEdit extension of Mediawiki? I am overwhelmed with the amount of spam we get and if this is properly configured, it might reduce this a lot. --Urwumpe (talk) 10:03, 18 December 2020 (UTC)
Maintenance
Last year we moved to a new server and upgraded MediaWiki, and a bunch of extensions got disabled in the process, and the move was generally left unfinished.
It is finally finished, I've done some much needed maintenance, everything is looking much happier now!
- Burninated all of the spam. If anything's gone that shouldn't be, let me know, I have backups.
- Fixed all of the anti-spam extensions that were disabled during 1.34 upgrade. We now have: AbuseFilter, SpamBlacklist/TitleBlacklist, hcaptcha for signups, Nuke, CheckUser.
- Fixed the caching settings; everything is faster.
- Fixed email
- Fixed rendering of SVG previews
- Fixed rendering of MathML
- Installed the Citizen skin, though it's less amazing than I hoped - check it out in your user preferences. It has a dark mode.
