Somewhere around 46,000 spambots attacked the DS wiki over the past few weeks. I've disabled registration and am in the process of cleaning it up.

 

If I delete any legit users or legit edits, I'm sorry, but there's no way to really sift through it all!

 

If you need an account, send me a PM and I'll fix you up once the wiki is fixed.

 

edit: it's bad enough we may just have to go back through our sql backups until we find out when this started and restore the whole thing... I see there was a contest on december 15th or 20th? Might be a good starting point.

With help from the wife, it's done! Whoever is the main wiki mod over there will need to PM me so we can go over account creation.

And?  :hmm:

 

In case you are confused, I host the website, and Hime just runs it.

Linking to Himeyasha doesn't really help anything.

 

Himeyasha has not upkept the wiki in a long time, the primary upkeep has been done by Aleshyia and a few supporters who drop by adding in information. The site is hosted by irowiki.org, of which Blueness owns. We took the time to clean the spam out and lock it down to prevent further interruptions, but we need someone able to approve real new users since if we do open registers again it will be flooded with spam again. It's a sticky situation.

Hello,

 

First of all, very very very thanks for clean the spam of the wiki :Emo_12: 

Second, Himeyasha is away for a time, while she comeback, I think Aleshyia is the person more connected and active in the wiki team, an a lovely person too, if you need someone right now.

I will continue updating the wiki as I can, and I have no problem to log in now, if need update some in particular, ask me for help.

 

Best Regards
