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 1.46.0-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 57 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 configured — deliberately deferred by operator decision (2026-08-07): the zone is live on Cloudflare (nameservers switched), but wiring up DNS/SSL/Access was set aside after repeated API-token issues, since the site doesn't need that protection at the moment. See `/opt/edwiki/docs/cloudflare-manual-setup.md` for the current state and how to pick it back up later.
  • 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 the Legal and Trademark Notice.
