Issues with the Wiki User Interface
Posted on 2-Nov-2020 by maxine:
For a while now we have not been able to access the wiki in a regular way. However, editing pages is possible if you are logged in. To edit a page, add "?action=edit" (without the quotes) after the URL of the page. The wiki forum layout is also messed up, but also there you can log in and then access information, e.g. on quests.
