Editing RLWiki:RLWiki NEO (section)

== Reasons for the Migration ==
=== Bigger reasons ===
==== Slow performance ====
Miraheze is a large wikifarm that hosts over 8800 wikis<ref>https://miraheze.org/</ref> and understandably so, needs the adequate processing power. While it is a wonderful project and the ones powering it deserve all the credit they get, it does load relatively slowly. 

Self-hosting the wiki allows the server to concentrate on putting the appropriate processing power on the wiki, which has faster load times.
==== Dormancy policy ====
Miraheze has a dormancy policy in which a wiki can get closed down or even deleted if it's inactive for too long.<ref>https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Dormancy_Policy#Process</ref> While this is an understandable process from Miraheze's side, the RL Wiki is not guaranteed to have sufficient activity to avoid the process - in fact, the 60-day threshold has been reached multiple times already. 

As there is no such policy when self-hosting the wiki, there is no need to worry about the data getting deleted due to inactivity. 

=== Smaller reasons ===
==== Full autonomy ====
While Miraheze does grant a lot of autonomy already, it's incomplete. For example, its extension list is a predefined set of extensions that are sufficient for most use cases, but adding any extension not included in the list would require requesting it.<ref>https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Extensions#Disclaimers</ref>

Self-hosting gives us full autonomy over every single aspect of the wiki without being bound to anyone else.

=== More personalized domain ===
Since the rollinglounge.net domain is in our ownership, we're able to use a more personalized domain: '''wiki.rollinglounge.net'''.
