On Sunday I fleshed out a number of [[Glossary]] pages. Some of them (e.g. BlackHat) are now blank, with no revision history to roll back. This is the second time it's happened (that I'm certain of) It isn't a major problem--no great works of literature lost or anything--but it's kind of demoralizing. Anybody know how this could even be done? Or why someone would bother? --[[MarkusQ]] P.S. The text in question was (from memory) something along the lines of: 
BlackHat

A generic bad guy.  Think Boris Badinov with a CS degree 
or a would-be terrorist that lives in his parents basement.  
What the media calls a "hacker" (much to the dismay of 
many jargon purists and most MIT grads).

---- Indeed, wiki changes I made are also absent. It appears the Database was rolled back after the wiki was inaccessible due to a 500 error earlier today. - AlexWayne --- Crud. (Specifically, the D part). It looks like you're right--about _five days worth_ are completely gone. I have some stuff from the first few days (I made a local copy on the 13th)--I'll try to restore what I can, unless someone has a less labour intensive plan. * Does anyone know why it was rolled back? * Was it done intensionally, or some sort of GoogleSpider hits-the-rollback-button problem? * If it was done intensionally, was there a problem with one of the pages that necessitated the rollback, such that recreating that page would be a BadThing? * Are there backups official? * Does anybody have a local copy dated later than 16:00 13/05/2005? --[[MarkusQ]] --- I'm subscribed to the recent changes RSS feed and noticed that the wiki was inaccessible a few times over the last couple of days, and that something strange seems to be going on. I've uploaded my feedreader's XML cache file to http://andaka.org/~andrea/railswiki.xml.gz -- don't know whether that'll be of any help though. The cache starts on 06/05/2005. --[[AndreaSchweer]] Thanks, that does have several pages I'm missing, although in HTML rather than textile. I'll start on it once I get the low-hanging fruit (I just ran diff on my textilebackup). Any idea what the date format is? --MarkusQ Moved to RailsWikiPageRecovery
