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".)

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.

If you could play a video game where one of the pages from MIS was the final boss, which one would you most like to face??

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.
