	* '''~~Content license undecided~~''' — ~~see~~ [[~~Elite Dangerous Field Manual~~:~~Legal and Trademark Notice#Licensing (unresolved~~)~~\|the Legal~~ and ~~Trademark Notice~~]].		* '''Structured data foundation exists''' (2026-08-07) — a small Scribunto/Lua + JSON-content-model system ([[Module:Engineers]], [[Module:Data/Engineers/index\|Module:Data/Engineers]]) proves canonical-data reuse across an infobox, [[List of Engineers]], and [[Engineer Capability Comparison]]; only Engineers are backed this way so far.

Sythan: EDFM initial deployment: seed initial page structure

2026-08-06T19:51:24Z

EDFM initial deployment: seed initial page structure

New page

Snapshot of where EDFM's technical foundation stands. Written by the deployment process on 2026-08-06 — update this as the project progresses rather than treating it as historical record.

== What exists ==
* Production MediaWiki {{CURRENTVERSION}}-class install (see [[Special:Version]] for the exact running version), served over HTTPS at the origin.
* Read access for anonymous visitors; editing/upload restricted to administrators while the project is in initial setup.
* Initial namespace structure, categories, and editorial templates (this page's sibling pages and {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Templates}} templates).
* Daily automated backups, a scheduled job-queue runner, and basic health monitoring.

== What's deliberately NOT done yet ==
* '''Not launched publicly''' — the site is marked ''noindex'' for search engines (see `/opt/edwiki/docs/launch-checklist.md`).
* '''Cloudflare is not yet configured''' — DNS does not currently point here. See `/opt/edwiki/docs/cloudflare-manual-setup.md` for the exact remaining steps.
* '''No trusted public HTTPS certificate yet''' — the origin currently uses a temporary self-signed certificate pending the DNS/Cloudflare step above.
* '''No email/SMTP configured''' — password-reset email etc. is disabled until a real mail service is set up.
* '''Public registration and anonymous editing are closed.'''
* '''No real gameplay content yet''' — the content pages created during initial setup are deliberately structural/placeholder rather than populated with gameplay facts, per [[Elite Dangerous Field Manual:Editorial Policy]].
* '''Content license undecided''' — see [[Elite Dangerous Field Manual:Legal and Trademark Notice#Licensing (unresolved)|the Legal and Trademark Notice]].
