Wiki Issues
Added 2020-07-19 20:38:37 +0000 UTCMy Wiki for the Pinwheel setting over at Fandom.com has been deleted. I received no notifications telling me that there was a problem, nor am I aware of violating the site's ToS in any way, as there was no objectionable content hosted there. I've contacted the staff to ask them why it was deleted, and to request a backup of the thousands of words of original content that I wrote for the articles. I don't have backups of most of those pages, so it would be very disheartening to lose them.
Since the Wiki was a Patreon goal, I thought I should let you guys know about what was going on. Even if the Wiki can be restored, I will be moving it to another host after this.

It seems like the wiki is up again, but I understand that you want to move to another after this shit happening. Hope that you won't get discourage to keep updating the wiki :)

2020-07-20 01:48:32 +0000 UTCUpdate: the Fandom staff got back to me with surprising speed and reinstated the Wiki. Apparently it was due to inactivity, but nowhere do they define what constitutes acceptable levels of activity. Needless to say, I have backed up all of the articles, and will make a habit of doing so for any future articles. Since it was a misunderstanding, and it wasn't due to the nature of my content, I will probably leave it up for the moment, but I will look into finding a more stable hosting solution.
