A database-less future?

Since 2007, Dozerfleet has found an online wiki to be an essential tool for its operations. But with the recent announcment that Miraheze is closing, and a current lack of good free MediaWiki hosting farms to turn to in its absence, the difficult decision has been made to, for the time being, shut down all operations on the Miraheze Dozerfleet Database.

The wiki has been backed up, and article XMLs will be used to create an offline directory.

• The XML archive will remain as it is, though data will be extrapolated from it on an as-needed basis.
• The wiki online will be used as a guide for setting up offline data repositories, especially for characters and projects.
• All characters will utilize the XML archive for creation of an offline article pertaining to said character. It remains unknown how long before characters will be made available for wiki article entries on them to be restored online, if ever, and in what format.
• The most essential details of characters' bios will be fed into Gramps and Plottr.
• Marvel: Avengers Alliance fanfic versions of characters will get their data published on the Labs blog, under DzMD.
• Projects will likely get small amounts of their wiki data, such as release dates and key trivia, added to their blog pages.
• In time, the Database icon will be phased out. This will be a huge undertaking.
• Information about characters from the early Geroshas can be compiled into a book, which will make up for the wiki's absence on those topics.
• Classic Gerosha and earlier works not yet finished will soon have more time for completion.
• Comprehensive Gerosha will also get a book, explaining what happened to it.
• Cataclysmic Gerosha and its aligned continuity family will have offline articles galore, stored in Microsoft Word or related formats. These will inform all canon moving forward. The most critical details will be added to Plottr. This includes Percolation Warriors.
• The Dromedeverse will be piecemealed together similarly to the Gerosha multiverse.
• The Eccentriaverse will, likewise, piecemeal itself together from archives.
• The greater Gigaverse and Terraverse will have its projects handled on an as-needed basis, though most work pertaining to that is done.
• Books can be written, piecemealed together from old wiki notes, to account for Ivan's Vault, LCC history, Ferris State TV shows, and SWOCC Studios projects. These would be made available on the blog for free download.

With the wiki no longer online or an issue, once the above are addressed, this will free up a lot of time for creation, thus leading to sooner completion of projects that had been pending for after certain wiki edit benchmarks had been achieved.

Before work resumes on Corando's Don't Lose Hope, or any of the remaining six webcomics after it, or any literature after that, the remaining last several packs of Sims 4 adaptations of the Dozerfleet Megaverse have now become a top priority. It is the goal of Dozerfleet Labs to complete those packs before The Sims 5 is released. Dozerfleet Labs has no intentions of getting The Sims 5. So after the packs are completed, and the final webcomics are available for download, Dozerfleet will be moving in a very different direction from how it's operated for the last 17 years.

A lot of changes are happening, and quickly!
