Wiki is down?

Hi. Wiki is down, or is there problem on my side?

Apagg

It's down

Down for me...not even getting an error code!

Drone_one

Working for me.

NivenFres

It's working for me, but it is loading slower than normal.

Knight Ranger

No problems here at all. I assume whatever it was, it's been fixed.

Cranky (SC)

It’s been back up for me for a little while now, though very, very slow.

Slightly off topic (or not?) but if the wiki folks need any support with hosting costs I’d be willing to do a whip-round in fleet. It’s been a hugely valuable tool since its conception.

I too think the wiki should have strong background. I personally regret we left the gamepedia community.

Yesterday was down, then working properly and today is working with speed similar to probability of getting legendary crewmember from the "best chance" packs.

@eXo | Frank did you forget to pay the bills again? Is it the new diet?

@eXo | SilverRose gotta keep an eye on him.

Frank?

Wiki is fully funded for another year, I can personally attest to that.

I think part of the problem is more and more fleets are getting bots, like on Discord, and absolutely hammering the crap out of it with stat requests and lookups. I'll work back with the admin team to see what can be done.

It’s down for me again. This time getting cloudflare errors.

It has been down for me all day...

So in other words "it wasnt me...the bots did it!"

Is there no way to limit bot/api access, Frank? I mean, it's great that so many people are getting so much use from the wiki, but since we all rely upon this resource so heavily, it would seem to make sense to me that the heaviest users do their part not to overload the thing and kill the little vermin running on the treadmills inside the server to keep it going.

Certain "power users" could be granted unlimited access (such as Izausome's fantastic Crew Cost Finder), but maybe other bots could be limited to a number of uses per hour and/or per day? You could also have tiers where levels of donation to the site could unlock more hits per day. It'd be a small price to pay, to make sure everything kept running smoothly.

Im sure they can add a rate limiter, but most bots only update one to 4 times a day. Not sure if its bots causing this issue.

The crew cost page only hits the wiki for around 15 mins, 4 times a day, so it wouldn't cause slowdowns.

Another thing is, right now it might take longer for bots to get the info they need if the wiki is running slow.

I also know that sometimes troubleshooting with bots can lead to increased usage, since you have to purge their memory to fix things sometimes.
