Server Migration + VisualEditor for Wiki

Post by bernard »

We've migrated Scioly.org-owned web platforms to a new server with a longer support lifecycle.

As a result of the migration, your browser may display security warnings and there may be a delay before your browser accesses this new server. If your browser loads the old server, please follow the instructions that display for accessing the new server. If your browser displays web pages differently from intended, please try a hard refresh, which will force your web browser to access our latest page formatting. As always, any questions or reports of issues may be directed to staff in #site-support or the Feedback forum.

We're also excited to now have VisualEditor on the Wiki, a rich-text editing interface where "what you see is [usually] what you get." We hope this enhancement will make contributing one's first edits to the Wiki even more accessible.

As note to our advanced editors, some customizations will still require source editing. We are also aware that VisualEditor currently does not work on subpages (e.g. Dynamic Planet/Glaciers) and pages in the Scioly.org namespace. For these pages, please continue to edit source.

Server Migration + VisualEditor Known Issues

– Comprehensive Tournaments List (https://scioly.org/tournaments/) does not load.
– On the Wiki, tables overflow off page on smaller screens.
– VisualEditor does not work for subpages and pages in the Scioly.org namespace (possibly others too).
– Some email services (including Google) are blocking emails sent from the new server. Please reach out to staff if for account issues that would usually involve email service (e.g. account registration, forgotten password).
