Is Mabiwiki completely broken for everyone
Every page is like glitched and doesnt load fully
Comments
It would be a HUGE undertaking, and I mean HUMONGOUS, there is just sooooooo much information upon information! Information inception! But I think it's time we do what Vindictus did and start building another more up to date one. That way if it goes down we have an ETA and an explanation. This is BS how we are completely in the dark about this!
If only the owners and admins felt that way too. Really doesn't feel like they care much with how they handle things anymore.
I agree.
Then whats the point?
I guess we should start exploring gamepedia. See what we can do to start porting the information over, if and when mabiworld comes back up.
Mabinogier tried to do that for the very same reasons you are implying, but Mabiworld had a massive hissy-fit over it and shut them down very quickly. It's highly ironic that Mabiworld had a screeching fit over someone plagiarizing their wiki content when they themselves have plagiarized a good amount of their information from other sources.
This honestly should have been implemented as soon as NA got up to that patch. The wiki has been listed as a fan site for years, but they clearly stopped caring about it as much as they used to and players shouldn't be punished for that.
You serious? Holy...smh. They shut them down, when they can't even put up proper maintenance pages? How the HELL did they get them shut down? That's total bs.
That's not bleeping fair! If they don't care, why get another site shut down trying to pick up their gaps?? That's screwed up.
BLEEP you mabiworld.
I kinda went the wrong direction with that: they didn't shut down Mabinogier. They did a lot of kicking until Mabinogier caved and removed information they had referenced from MabiWorld and an apology made. The result after that was that the second wiki project basically died entirely, because why bother rebuilding it when someone else will yell at you for it?
Edit-Mabinogier's wiki redirects to World now. Dunno when that change happened (it wasn't like that when the fire fight happened), but it's kinda sad that an entire database hand made up to G13 was just deleted entirely.
//or data mined but we're not supposed to talk about that//The MWorld Wiki has had issues for years, it doesn't date recently. I've edited it so many times over the years that its sickening how much extra work you have to go through to get something to come out as its supposed to.
Anyhow, they can't really yell at others for taking that information and posting it elsewhere. The only problem I could see happening is if they took their images... and by that I mean.. Their artwork, item and game screenshots don't belong to them. I've discussed this in the past with a friend and it was suggested that a whole new wiki could be made to replace what we have, but its so much work that no one is interested.
I'm surprised we never got it, especially considering the drama years ago between NA and the Mabi wiki. But they're on good terms now, I guess.
I strongly recommend using web.archive.org and/or archive.is whenever a site goes down like this as they take somewhat of a screenshot of a site(Great for looking up old sites as well) though I usually get better results with the first one than the later. For web.archive.org just change the date over at the top to as current as possable, it works perfectly for Mabinwiki or atleast for most of the pages I've seen and goes up to March 2017. There's even a Firefox add-on called "Get Archive" that uses both those sites and all you have to do is, if you run into a site that's doing maintenance, 404'ed, or just down in general, you just right click the site and select which archive to use.
At least I have the nuts to ....you know... ask someone ingame.
That's still sad and you know it.
