If you tried it today it wouldn't because our server has been down all day. :P

It should be back up for the rest of this evening, but will be down during the day again tomorrow due to necessary maintenance.

Hi everyone,
I have just uploaded a big update to the Antweight Wiki, which will hopefully make it better to look at and easier to use. I've also installed some analytics software so visitor numbers can be tracked and monitored to find out which pages are the most popular and which ones perhaps need a bit more work.

Unfortunately a few weeks back the Wiki was attacked by spammers. I was planning to do some major updates to it over the summer to reinvigorate it and take advantage of the renewed interest in Robot Wars related stuff because of the Dave re-runs but the attack forced me to bring a few of them forward to prevent it happening again.

As a result some bugs may be present, so if you do have problems editing or viewing pages on the Wiki please let me know and I'll see if I can fix it! :)

[edit] I have also now enabled user registration, click the login link in the top right corner then click register.

The Wiki is available from the same URL as always: http://www.antweights.co.uk

Looks much better than it did. Just a cheeky question; why don't you use wikipedia?

Haha! The original version of the AntWiki did use Wikipedia's MediaWiki actually, however it totally messed up when we moved servers. DokuWiki (now I've got it sorted properly!) is much better in this regard as it stores the pages in text files... and as we are currently planning another server move I'm definitely not going back to MediaWiki at the moment! :P

I'm not ruling it out in the future though, if usage of the Wiki picks up a bit it might be worth looking at it again.
