I was wondering whether it would be possible to restore the old wiki that disappeared in 2018, so I did some research, found the wiki files on Wayback and restored the wiki in readonly mode (now hosted on https://x3wiki.aliser.space
). I inquired with wikigg, a wiki hosting service (aka wikifarm), about a full restoration and creation of a dynamic and editable wiki website like it was back in the day, but, a big requirement to do so is to provide the license information about the content that was hosted there. Sadly, there's literally NO license information afaik in them wiki files.Now, trying to contact the person behind the wiki, I found an email by using WHOIS data and looking thru some old chunks of it, but it turned out inactive. Probably the only ways now to get anything are:
a) Find the wiki owner person here lurking on forums still, and for them to somehow confirm a license and that it was open enough for the content to be hosted again.
b) Get Egosoft to talk to wiki people and convince them that the licensing of the old content was free enough.
Shooting a long shot here but maybe it yields something! Would be awesome to see the wiki live and even do some edits (and maybe even expand to other games in the series!).
