Hello, so I'm currently new here, and I wanted to create a wiki, but it said that the wiki creator is offline. Will it get recovered? --Plastacikec (talk) 10:09, 16 April 2021 (UTC)

It's a known problem. Staff is working on it, but there is no estimate for when it will return. --Saftzie (talk) 17:07, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
ME TOO! WAIT, YOU HAD IT TOO? AAAAAAAA Zocktersrat (talk) 18:07, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
Creator is still offline, since at least April. I came looking to create a wiki here, but looks like this is dead. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Expat (talkcontribs) 15:55, 14 July 2021‎ (UTC). Please sign your posts with --~~~~!
Apparently the reason for a lack of wiki creation is because the wiki software is slightly ancient, being of 1.34.4 when the latest release was 1.35. It may come a little bit sooner, hopefully it reopens one updated, which I doubt will happen soon enough. --Zocktersrat (talk) 00:21, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
Not quite. It's because CreateWiki is a custom tool we developed in-house that hasn't really been majorly overhauled since it was introduced. While MediaWiki 1.34.4 is an older release, we're doing a lot of behind the scenes work to make our next major version rollout smoother, although, it still won't make CreateWiki any more viable in its current state. It'd work better under an older version of MediaWiki as it stands. --Lewis Cawte (talk) ShoutWiki Staff 09:12, 31 July 2021 (UTC)
Any update on when it might be back? --Drakizora (talk) 20:12, 21 August 2022 (UTC)
Just writing here for easy access to check back in the future... 🙏 Someone please give a heads up here for when it gets fixed! --Drakizora (talk) 17:51, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
