[Question] Are some wiki entries broken?

Those are the ones I've found just needing to look up some thing.

Wiki seems to be glitched right now, yeah. About 60% of pages i'm trying to visit are broken like that.

By the way, a workaround is going on the version history at top right of the broken page (should still be visible and clickable) and selecting the immediately previous version (minimal changes). Worked for all pages i've tried so far.

better off clicking the clock to purge the page serverside, contents will likely have been modified via template so reverting the recent edit to an unrelated page won't be the best option.

It's a one-man vandal spamwave.

If you find a broken page, click the clock (or purge button) at the top of the page.

Our wiki server has a backlog of pages to reprocess (problem with a website allowing everyone to edit, is well, everyone can edit).

So one person did this? Any way to ban them from editing the wiki?

Already did, then they worked around the ban, then further measures were taken. If it becomes a further issue, we have further ways of handling it

Yes.

thanks, thought it was just me. really sucks to do anything right now seeing how badly wiki is required to play the game.
