Our wiki stack is outdated, deliberately, because much of it is custom. Think of all those tables on a zone page, for instance: there's no way to do them with wiki stuff, so Rahvin had to write custom PHP code ... many years ago when the wiki started.

Back to hen we had up to date Mediawiki software, but many years have passed, and Rahvin quit. So now if we update, all his stuff (ie. big chunks of the wiki) breaks, so we're stuck with old software.

This also is an issue with wiki spammers: a simple CAPTCHA would stop them, but our wiki is too outdated to do CAPTCHAs. I offered to custom code one, but Rogean turned me down ... so presumably he has another solution in mind, and the wiki is down while he implements it (unless he's decided to not have a wiki anymore).
