Since the Blank site feature is down this might some in handy:

I've learned to deal with my disappointment with this site…

It's one of the best wiki making sites I've seen, to see it in this state is sad

Today, Wikidot seems entirely refreshed. The style sheets are holding beautifully, all of the images are rendering with no problems, even on demanding pages with many photos. This is very pleasing, let's hope it can stay this way!

When I try creating a new site, it blocks me from doing so and says:

The data you have submitted contains following errors:

• Please read and agree to the Terms of Service.

I've checked the box acknowledging that I've read and agreed to the terms of service so why can't I create a new site?

Anyone else having issues with the style sheets for site design seemingly reading then not reading, leading to your site being stylized one minute and in raw form the next? Seems to me Wikidot is not too far away from being a magnificent platform, it's so frustrating.

It’s still going, I think.

I can upload 1 or 2 photos in a row, before it gets stuck. Than having to refresh the page (F5) more than once. Next step choose the upload procedure again, browse to the photo you want to upload. This takes to much time and effort, and just needs to be solved.

You still having problems with this?

What we've noticed is that the messages aren't coming through on certain e-mail providers, e.g. G-mail is working ok, Outlook is not…

Edit: I just read your comment on the Discord.
You’re account was hacked by Googol (or sbgoogol01?), according to what you said.

I’ll trust you.
Sorry for the accusation.

Though, the other sites… I do believe most of those are template sites too.
Also, it’s hard to “research” vandalism made by an account while it is hacked.
Sorry if what I said affected you in some way, but you can imagine the shock I had when realizing that many of the template sites (staples of Wikidot’s community) were being made unusable.

I have not taken any actions to disrupt normal sites. All the sites I used the above code on are sites that create fake certificates. I hope those illegal sites occupy Wikidot.

I hope you investigate the matter thoroughly before complaining about me, because your complaints have affected my community life.

tip: /norender/true can be used to fix pages that have been vandalized like this

There is a Wikidot user called NoRaNetaN who was hacked by Googol (or maybe sbgoogol01? No specification…) to vandalize fundamental Wikidot sites.

[[div style="position: fixed; z-index: 999; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; background: black; display: flex;color: white; align-items: center; justify-content: center; font-family: "Noto Sans SC", serif; font-size: 300%; font-weight: 900"]]

Problem is back again. Now also reflects on already uploaded pictures that do simply not display anymore

Yes, refreshing the page and trying again gets it done, second or third time around.

Probably related, even the simple act of saving a page edit change is occasionally taking 2 or 3 attempts to get the 'page saved'. The failed attempts do get a pop up message:

'The Ajax request failed' code: 500.

That’s pretty cool.

I created this site a week ago and am fairly pleased at how it's coming along. The entire point of it is to centralize some stories written for a canon I've been making. Eventually, a novel will be released, so this may all be setup to something bigger, I dunno.

Anyway, more will be written over time.

Give it a look and let me know what ya think ^^

This problem occurs when using a code insert via TamperMonkey to upload more than 1 image to a page, but also when I use the single file upload method that is avaible from wikidot self.

Also, I’m a member of the blank template site, so I could try and fix it.

Edit: Nevermind. This is beyond what I can do. I wonder if this hacker is the same person who ruined the Bug Tracker a few days ago?

The Blank Template’s new text translates to “Make your damn certificate, you motherfucker”
Maybe the hacker is talking about a DNS Certificate, SSL Certificate, or something of the sort?

The person who ruined the Bug Tracker was NoRaNetaN. They may have been the person who did this to the Blank Template site. Luckily, the Bug Tracker site was fixed by Iopk123451 somehow. Maybe they can fix this site?

Michal hasn’t done anything in a while, and we’ve been running the same codebase since 2006.

Yeah it looks like it's been hacked. Don't expect it to get fixed, at all. And if it does, it is by some miracle.

The owner has been MIA from here for years and the site is falling apart. He posted once in 2023 to deal with a hack and prior to that once in 2019. I'm surprised wikidot is even still up except that Michał puts in the bare minimum for the ad revenue he earns from it. He could use a bit of that to hire someone at least once every few years to update stuff like security and the ability to accept new GA4 analytics standards since he himself, despite developing the site, can't be bothered to give 2 shits about people that are still onboard. Who doesn't care about web traffic? Only people with websites they don't care fail or succeed - otherwise they would want actual feedback on traffic from Google Analytics. That includes Michał.

He's busy though with "new" projects and he's busy on reddit too talking about his hobby (his Tesla last year and this year it's Chat GPT). Meanwhile, wikidot is getting buried alive under a sea of spam and obsoletism that he could prevent if he only he had one simple tool to lean on… the ability to care about his users.

In a reddit comment 27 days ago he said: "I think Strava has a decent competitor in creating vaporware. Now I cannot decide which of these two is more useless, because both appear as total garbage."

Vaporware? Oh the irony.

He tried to sell the site for BTC and didn't even care enough to reply to people interested. At this point he would be lucky to give it away for free under agreement to update it and keep it running. He's just letting it rot away while trying to squeeze every bit of Adsense revenue he can out of it before it dies. Some wise words were spoken once about how you have to care about your users, they were his words in a lecture recorded on video… I can't seem to find it now.

And don't go thinking this post will rouse him to action in favor of doing something GOOD for wikidot, it's never worked before. This is him (not the video I mentioned above).
