To adapt to the growing needs of hosted wikis (and huge amount of new content being created at Wikidot.com) we will need to make a few crucial changes to our file storage later today (Wed, 16th Jul), around 10PM UTC. Until we finish the maintenance some of the newly-created wikis may experience problems with uploading files and generating of math equations or image thumbnails. Once the upgrade is complete file uploads will work for them again. So if your wiki is affected — do not worry, we will fix this today!
Also, during the maintenance, some of the uploaded files may become visible with a delay — we will be syncing files progressively and this might affect all wikis.
No outage is expected and the Wikidot.com will be available on-line all the time. Also, we will post updates about the progress.
Thanks,
The Wikidot Team
[UPDATE] we had to spend extra few hours yesterday to find an optimal and long-term solution for the upgrade and hopefully we have found a perfect solution. We will implement it today within a 5-10min break (Wikidot will be off-line) between 10.30AM and 11.30AM UTC.
[UPDATE2] During 12min break we have successfully upgraded internal storage for wiki content and made some internal changes. All file uploads should work fine now.
