🚀 Wiki Update! – What's new:
Hey, Stationeers!
The wiki has received a major overhaul. Here's what changed and where we're heading:
| What | Before | Now |
|---|---|---|
| MediaWiki | 1.30 (2017) | 1.43 LTS (latest) |
| PHP | 5.x | 8.3 |
| Database | MySQL 5.7 on bare metal | MySQL 8.0 in Docker |
| Hosting | Old Debian 9 (2017) BareMetal server | Docker stack on Oracle Cloud (ARM64), Traefik reverse proxy, ratelimits & middlewares |
| Skin | Pivot | Citizen — modern, dark mode, mobile-friendly |
| Editing | Anyone could edit anonymously which led to spam, edit chaos and bots | Account required — request one at Special:RequestAccount, any existing user can approve you |
| Security | Open registration, Google Analytics tracking | Approval-based accounts, no third-party tracking (for now at least — might change this later to use Google Analytics again) |
What's the same
- All pages, images, and edit history have been preserved — nothing was lost in the migration
- The old Pivot skin is still available if you prefer it (change it in your preferences)
User account cleanup
| Who | Count removed |
|---|---|
| Spam domain accounts | 1883 |
| Users with 0 edits + inactive 3+yr | 603 |
All other users are kept — this alone reduces total users by roughly 60% without affecting active users. If you ever made a contribution, your account is still active.
New: User accounts need approval
From now on, new user accounts need to be approved. Any existing user can approve accounts — this should let the community approve legitimate people easily while keeping spammers out. The wiki suggests asking for approval on the Stationeers Discord — or asking a friend who already has access.
New Admin
Eearslya has handed the wiki over to JacksonTheMaster due to lack of time to maintain it. Huge thanks to Eearslya for managing this wiki since 2017!
I (JacksonTheMaster) am looking for people who actively want to help manage and bring this wiki forward — please contact me (see below).
What's next
- Expanding and updating game content for the latest Stationeers builds
- Growing the contributor community — if you'd like to help, request an account or simply log in!
If you have any questions, feel free to contact JacksonTheMaster or email master <at> stationeers-wiki.com If you run into any issues or something looks broken after this update, feel free to reach out.
