I can't stay long, whispered the butterfly, but I'll put a memory in your heart.

I'll be disabling account creation until further notice. If you have an account - it will be deleted in the coming months. You can choose to remake it or not - I won't make any attempt to retain your account nor convince you to remake it. Sign up again if you find it's deleted. I'll announce a week before the wipe and reset. If you don't care / this doesn't affect you, carry on and ignore. Note - this is a nuclear reset of the wiki - not the sites surrounding it. This process should only take a day, though I won't proceed until at least April has arrived. Stay warm until then.

Update - done. Account creation closed.

Worry about yourself

Shrouded

Building Locations and the Road Network are now fully part of the manifest pipeline. While Building Locations were already available, when made so (and always for Vanilla), the Road Network specifically requires extra manual editing for cleanup. More of a due diligence effort than a necessity, as personally speaking, my own mod is nowhere near "complete" when it comes to editing the network. Nevertheless, it makes it possible through the RoadSmith (and the extractor behavior) to merge across initial visualizations, the customizations and modded roads. The v1 pipeline is done, insofar as that it will enter a "legacy" state as the map's initialization is rebuilt to support the CDN (our own), Cloudflare proxying and the v2 API.

Mappy's proof of concept was completed earlier this week. However, due to the aforementioned lockdown and upcoming reset I won't be doing any page creation and implementation outside of the realm of special pages. Any such activity would be temporary in nature - though the extension(s) are agnostic in a sense that they do not rely on any preliminary database content other than the existing schema (user tables for Caravan's case). Mappy provides its own Leaflet library and as designed at requiring zero database access - as the configuration centralizes around consuming JSON through a common gateway - which does mean multiple routes. The three basic routes would be... via mwAPI, via page sourcing or via direct configuration-consumption.

Brief follow-up to account creation and the wiki reset - why?
Due to the many extensions and experiments undertaken whilst setting up the wiki... a handful of unwanted artifacts (of their database changes) remain in the tables. This, combined with the need to wipe out the vast majority of templates & modules renders a situation in which a reset is drastically easier than cleanup. Multiple iterations of exported content from the Fandom wiki & a complete backup of the files which would survive a reset are in place. And so, the winter months are being taken to fully focus upon the map, its pipeline, tooling & orchestration such that work upon the wiki can then assume the primary position in Q2 2026 and beyond. Not if - when - and the timeline is now known.
