Wiki state
Current state of this wiki is:
- <DB is ENABLED>
- Another Eden Wiki:Discussion on Potential Fork after discussions here, moved to self-host
- DB bases also were normalized and cargo table "characters" that probably caused issues in first place, was divided into few normalized db tables. Never met same issues on self-host after that

until issues with it that appeared in our wiki DB and are causing huge load and failures on miraheze services, can be addressed by cargo plugin creator through mediawiki and miraheze phabricators. How long it will take or if are there some other options to do, like deleting our db tables from miraheze side, without enabling DB , and then recreating them carefully.., are to be known later through further negotiations.
Info from 30 July 2022: from miraheze admin: "Because of what happened last time we tried re-enabling, we have to be more cautious, and if enabling it again has even a chance of causing global issues (which it does), than we can not re-enable, as per the terms of use, one wiki can not cause global issues." and so - they wont be re-enabling it until some process of approval and making sure everything will be okay between unknown number of members from miraheze team, and how much time it can take is unknown, so we keep doing what was discussed here moving to selfhost soon
The main problem is our wiki is heavily dependent on working DB for most of functionality like: compiled and auto-generated enemy\characters\items\encounter tables, character filters, most of pages cross-linking is auto generated via finding target pages through some db searches. Generating Tier List or Wiki Collection Tracker. Without working DB all that stops to work.
But there are wiki that work without any or much of DB, its will look less fancy and some things cant be done, but it can still show info we may need about game and its characters. All text info we all put into wiki pages for 3+ years are still there inside pages, most of pages are named consistently so they can be cross-linked somehow even without db.
So until hopefully db issues may get fixed at some point, we should be able to redo some templates, that now started to look broken to restrict some DB dependencies\checks to be able to use them better without DB. Navigation can be remade through categories and category trees. One of big problems is that auto-generation through some template by putting DB data into it is gone. As example it was possible to hot-fix skills descriptions inside character pages by the use of direct skill pages Transclusion by PageNames, but for that skill pages needed to be remade to look like same skill table rows on own skill page. Same can be done for some other things.
Will be adding some progress about some things that need to be fixed
