We are carrying out major technical upgrades to our on-wiki search backend as part of our preparations for the 2026 MediaWiki 1.45 upgrade. This maintenance is expected to take up to 24 hours.

ALL search data updates (due to actions like page edits, creations, deletions) are paused until the maintenance is close to finishing. Once resumed, it may take several hours for the backend to catch up.

Our latest platform update went live a few days ago (whoops) with a few updates: our media storage migration is complete, allowing PDFs and animated WEBPs to be uploaded; Special:WantedFiles no longer lists files from Commons Wiki; and many more!

‪It's TULIPS day! Our latest platform update features an update to the ThemeColorEditor (TCE) gadget now with save functionality!!!!! No update is required to your wiki if TCE is installed. Plus a bunch of bugfixes and some WIP netbar changes. This is our 40th TULIPS! support.wiki.gg/wiki/TULIPS/...

We are starting an update to improve our file-hosting capability. This update will provide the following: - Animated webp support - Upload limit for all files on all wikis will be increased from 10MB to 15MB - Upload limit for video and audio files on all wikis will be increased from 10MB to 35MB

View full thread

Please note, this update DOES require a service interruption, namely while your wiki is upgrading you will not be able to upload files (estimated 15min-2hr on most wikis, possibly longer for the couple wikis with the most files on our platform).

If you need to schedule this time with us, please let us know; otherwise we'll go through wikis in rolling batches between now and the end of September. Let us know if you have any questions or if your topic is anticipating a major update in this time 🌷

We are starting an update to improve our file-hosting capability. This update will provide the following: - Animated webp support - Upload limit for all files on all wikis will be increased from 10MB to 15MB - Upload limit for video and audio files on all wikis will be increased from 10MB to 35MB

(Individual wikis can request further increases to video/audio (or any) file size as needed, in an effort to encourage archiving over embedding YouTube videos. These requests will be approved on a case-by-case basis.)

- In general our speed to render files and pages should go up a bit - PDF uploads will be enabled on all wikis - Soon after, apng support will also be added (not immediate after upgrade but this upgrade is a requirement for that to happen)

We've updated our firewall rules out of necessity to combat an ongoing rogue AI crawler wave. Although we try to minimize the impact on users, this may still cause some traffic to be flagged incorrectly. You can tell this happened if you're repeatedly prompted for a CAPTCHA in quick succession.

Anyone (you, any editor, or any reader) who gets stuck in a loop like this, please have them send us a report through the highlighted link on the screenshot:

We are currently performing maintenance on our search backend. On-wiki search functions are temporarily unavailable during this time. Thank you for your patience!

Our latest platform update covers various platform improvements and bug fixes, including updates to EmbedVideo, footer badges on dark theme, EditRecovery, and the navbar! We will also soon update BotPassword wording to "application passwords". support.wiki.gg/wiki/TULIPS/...

Happy Pi Day! Yesterday's platform update included some bug fixes to Cargo queries, Codex styling, and the footer on mobile. We're also adding some templates, gadgets, and hidden categories to all wikis to help with any future conversions to Default Loadout. support.wiki.gg/wiki/TULIPS/...

Terraria Wiki (and no other wikis) will have a planned maintenance on Monday, February 24 at 8 AM UTC. This maintenance is expected to have 10 minutes or less of downtime for the Terraria Wiki. This is to help ensure that the caching issue that occurred earlier will not occur again.

We have a new platform update this week! Read our latest TULIPS for updates on DRUID and the MediaWiki 1.43 upgrade. We also now have a public status page at wikiggstatus.com and we're showcasing a live preview theme editor made by cadaei! support.wiki.gg/wiki/TULIPS/...

One of the most common questions we receive is "how do I rename a page?" so we have updated the "Move" option in page menus to display "Rename" instead! For more information, and how to revert it on your wiki if you wish (though users might prefer if you didn't): support.wiki.gg/wiki/Renamin...

We are slowly beginning some background database updates needed for 1.43. No downtime is expected, but likely some performance degradation especially around saving edits, so we want to let you know ❤️

Quick heads-up: Anyone using #argmap will need to specify a delimiter because the default will change soon, likely this week. If you don't know what #argmap is, you likely aren't using it so ignore this. No other platform update this week; work continues on the MediaWiki update!

Because we are working on the MediaWiki 1.43 update, TULIPS will be released less frequently until the update is rolled out. We're still around during the holidays; don't hesitate to ask for help if you need it! Have a safe holiday season! 🎄

On Tuesday, December 17 at 3 AM EST, we will be updating our database servers. This may take up to an hour and some service interruption is expected.
