I am being told I like Mega Man too much.
Well! Good news! I'm not alone.
I have just discovered that other people like him enough to have moved the wiki off Wikia.
There's a mirror at Miraheze!

We are currently in the process of drafting a formal policy on (not) citing Discord. This is not actually a new policy: We have been avoiding citing Discord since Rainverse Wiki formed, and we inherited that practice from My Impossible Soulmate Fandom Wiki.
We would appreciate your feedback.

Downtime notice:
In response to Miraheze messing with their DNS stuff, I am going to attempt to modify Pandora's Tale Wiki's DNS settings. This will result in downtime for the site. Exactly how much downtime depends on how badly I mess up.

Today is international women's day. It is also the one-year anniversary of Rainverse Wiki escaping from Fandom!
Rain Wiki (as it was originally called) was founded on Fandom in 2016, and actively maintained until 2022. By early 2024, it was completely abandoned until AwesomeGamer moved it to Miraheze and rebranded the site as Rainverse Wiki.
In the past year, Rainverse Wiki has been edited over 25,000 times by 9 users. We have created 1100 new articles, and our pre-existing 700 articles are now of much higher quality.
Let's make this coming year even better.

Today, I am announcing plans for the biggest change to Pandora's Tale Wiki since its founding: I am going to port the wiki away from MediaWiki and convert it to a git repository of text files. This conversion process may not be easy, but it is necessary. If we continue down the current path, I am going to burn out and will not be able to continue maintaining the wiki. I have described the reasons for the change in the article for Project: Texts About Pandora
https://pandorastale.wiki/wiki/Pandora%27s_Tale_Wiki:Texts_About_Pandora#Hosting_availability
(Yes, the name of the article is a pun on the pages "Texts from Pandora" and "Texts from Pandora 2".)
https://comicsbyxan.com/comic/texts-from-pandora/
https://comicsbyxan.com/comic/texts-from-pandora-2/
There are still some things I need to determine.
1) First and most significantly, I have to figure out how to convert a MediaWiki instance into a git repository. I've found several scripts which claim to do it, but they all seem to have significant drawbacks in addition to being unmaintained. I would greatly appreciate advice from computer creatures in this regard.
2) Then I have to decide on the text format: Plaintext, gemtext, or markdown? There are ups and downs to each of them, though I'm not as worried since I believe it might be possible to convert between them later.
3) Finally I have to decide on the hosting software and platform if I want anyone else to be able to read it. Gitlab, Forgejo, sourcehut, or something else?
Once I answer these questions, I am going to move Pandora's Tale Wiki to a git repository, and then I will ask Miraheze to shut down their copy of the wiki. I don't know how long this process will take, but I believe it's the only way I can continue the wiki.

Time for a detailed #introduction :3
I am GhaztliousMoths, yes I am very aware that this is long and I very much encourage you to shorten it to however you like. Most common nicknames for myself are Ghaztly / Ghaz / Moths.
I am currently an UCA undergraduate studying #Animation ✨️ I mostly do digital 2D #art but I'm still developing my style as an #artist
I have many ocs, the 2 main ones are Owatta (purple river otter) and Ollie (brown sea otter) who are gay lovers but they're long distance because Owatta is the "chosen one" to go fight some evil.
I am also a wiki editor for a couple of #Miraheze wikis, notably Usagi Shima and Kinder World. I got introduced to Fedi by a few users on the Miraheze Discord Server.
Speaking of #usagishima I absolutely adore that game so you may see a couple of posts from me about it 😅
I like collecting merchandise and toys. Currently, I've been collecting Lizbie's Cafe's Dragon Moth pin series, 2023 Furbies, and Skylanders.
Lastly, I am planning to start a #smallbusiness in Spring later this year :D My uni has a wonderful opportunity each Winter and Spring where they host a small market for Students to sell works that they produced. For the foreseeable future, I'm only going to be selling locally. I will be posting about my progress and squealing about it haha.

Today, Pandora's Tale Wiki reaches an important milestone. If the wiki were a software project, then version 0.0.1 would have been in September 2022 (the wikis founding), version 1.0 would have been in August 2023, and version 2.0 would be released today.
What's so big about today's update? It requires some explanation that doesn't fit in this instance's character limit, so please see the blog post.

Some background on the current poll:
In the Order of the Stick fan community, polls about the readers' favorite characters have commonly included one book-exclusive character (Right-Eye) who is very popular. After reading the print volumes of Rain, I thought it might be nice to include a book-only character in the next Rain Character Tournament. The problem is that there are very few book-exclusive characters in Rain, and most of them barely made an impression on me. Only one was truly memorable, and I'd expect if I put her in a "favorite character" tournament, she'd get approximately zero votes.
But that character really kept rattling around in my head, so I decided to make a poll where she is a serious contender.

Today we completed a goal we've had for a long time.
The wiki now has clear delineations between canon information sourced directly from the comic, and "semi-canon" information sourced from @[email protected] social media.
All references to social media are accompanied by an archive link. Hence, social media posts which can't be archived (such as Discord messages) are not referenced on the wiki at all.
I waffled back and forth about whether the alt text should be considered fully canon or only semi-canon. I decided to count it as semi-canon because
a)Currently the alt text is only visible on the fediverse, not the actual comic site.
b)For Chapters 1-5, the alt text is based on drafts of the script, and the text differs in a few places from what's in the comic.
You can see all pages with semi-canon information here:

Today is the one-year anniversary of our wiki moving to our own domain, https://pandorastale.wiki . We were previously on a Miraheze subdomain, and a Fandom subdomain before that. We have now been on our own domain for longer than we were on any single previous subdomain.

Notice something new on our home page?
We've long had @[email protected] 's fediverse feed integrated into our home page, modeled after wikis for big franchises that embed social media feeds of the publisher. Until now, though, the descriptions weren't very helpful: each update just said "New note by Xan," and you had to click on the link to actually see the text of any of her posts.
Thanks to work by @[email protected] messing with the MediaWiki RSS extension, that has now been fixed! You can now see previews of Xan's fediverse feed straight from the wiki!
https://pandorastale.wiki/wiki/Pandora%27s_Tale_Wiki#Xan's_Fediverse_Feed
The previews do not include images: you still have to go to her fedi profile to see images she posts (and that's most likely not going to change). #PandorasTale #PandorasTaleWiki #ComicsByXan #MediaWiki #Miraheze #RSS -

Notice something new on the Pandora's Tale Wiki Wiki home page?
That's right, we have a poll!
Inspired by polls on Super Mario Wiki, we will periodically ask you, the readers, assorted questions about the Pandora's Tale-verse! When the poll concludes, it will be replaced by another poll, and the results will be moved to the new Poll Archive page.
This new feature is thanks to @[email protected] and @[email protected] . Awhile back, I started whining on Miraheze Discord and Rainverse Matrix that there were inadequate polling options available on Miraheze. In response to my whining, Claire made a whole new MediaWiki extension, and Average Helper and Claire did the hard work to get it installed on Miraheze.
I'm also ready to preemptively announce plans for the Pandora's Tale Volume 2 Character Tournament. The character tournament will ask you to vote for your favorite character in a series of matches, with winning characters advancing to the next round until only one remains. The tournament will not begin until all chapters from Volume 2 are released, but when it does, you'll be able to vote directly from the wiki home page!

Two years ago, I founded Pandora's Tale Wiki. At the time, I didn't know if I would maintain it for two months, let alone two years.
In our first year, there was almost no new Pandora's Tale content: just six single-panel preview images. In our second year, Xan has given us three entire new chapters. Hence, I had the pleasure of updating the wiki with new content as it was released.
Aside from the new content, a lot has happened in the past year. Shortly after our previous anniversary, we moved from a subdomain of Miraheze to our own domain: https://pandorastale.wiki, while remaining with Miraheze as a host. Fandom also removed the abandoned copy of our wiki that they hosted.
In November, we co-founded the Webcomic Independent Wiki List, a list of independent and ethically-hosted wikis about webcomics. The list has since moved to its own page separate from the wiki. We currently list eight awesome wikis about webcomics, including @[email protected] , which I am also involved with.
In January, we participated in the inaugural Indie Wiki Jam, organized by Square Enix Independent Wiki Alliance. The event saw us get an all-time record of four unique editors in a single month, breaking our previous record of three unique editors in September 2022. While our wiki remains small and I remain the most active contributor, I am thrilled to see newcomers make their first edits.
Around the time of the jam, Mojeek and Stract search engines both indexed our main page. Both search engines found our site organically, as neither accepts site submissions.
What comes next? Aside from coverage of new canon content, the home page of our wiki will soon(ish) have polls. Also, stay tuned for more information about the Pandora's Tale Character Tournament 2. We also have plenty of refactoring and article revamping to do.
Thanks to everymany who visited or edited the wiki in the past two years, and special thanks to @[email protected] , without whom none of this would be possible.
Let's have a great Year 3.
