This is because they claims that three core MediaWiki files are malware and nags me to delete them.

Sadly, a MediaWiki installation will not function without these files.


I KNOW the files are NOT malware

but it is very difficult to convince their support that their malware scanning tool is mistaken

(AI powered I guess)


For the conspiracy theorists among us:

I believe it was the Cobra who developed this malware scanner

to cover his tracks after stealing the content of this unique website

so

he could claim he wrote it all himself

and then...

(within a few months from now)

RULE THE WORLD!

Jokes aside

(I think)

I am moving MandrakeWiki to a different web host, and hopefully MandrakeWiki will be back up within a few days.

In the meantime, feel free to take a look at the origins of MandrakeWiki.

Using this translation turn the pages a bit odd - sorry


Did you know...

Lee Falk find the name Cockaigne


"The Land of Cockaigne"
etching from 1564 by Niccolo Nelli

Cockaigne is portrayed in legend, oral history and art. It was the name that people in the middle ages gave to an imagined land filled with all the things that their own lives lacked, an imaginary land of luxury, plenty and ease.

As one text about Cockaigne puts it:

"People in that country who are fond of drinking with trusted comrades receive for each fair sided drink a silver penny.
Those who drink till it's coming out of their ears or till their eyes start to water receive a guinea for every drink they've imbibed.
And anyone who can empty a whole tankard in one gulp, standing up and without taking a breath, gets free drinks and a gold noble to boot."
