I learned a trick regarding this recently - on any instance of MediaWiki, including Wikipedia and even the dreadful Fandom wikis, you can put "?action=purge" at the end of the URL and it'll let you refresh the server cache for that page (for everyone!)
But also fuck that, X-Ray Spex are incredible

I used to like Jira, but it has become bloated, slow, and cluttered. And as for confluence... I don't know why they just didn't give up on it and build mediawiki integration instead....

XWiki SolrSearch Exploit Attempts (CVE-2025-24893) with link to Chicago Gangs/Rappers, (Mon, Nov 3rd)
XWiki describes itself as "The Advanced Open-Source Enterprise Wiki" and considers itself an alternative to Confluence and MediaWiki. In February, XWiki released an advisory (and patch) for an arbitrary remote code execution vulnerability. Affected was the SolrSearch component, which any user, even with minimal "Guest" privileges, can use. The advisory included PoC code, so it is a bit odd that it took so long for the vulnerability to be widely exploited.

To create the map, I adapted a browser-based #JavaScript app that I coded back in February: bsky.app/profile/seav...
Using the MediaWiki API, the app extracts destination airports from Changi’s @wikipedia.org article then queries the coordinates and IATA code of those airports from #Wikidata. 🧵 2/3

I’m experimenting generating airport route maps where I take the passenger destinations served by an airport from the airport’s @wikipedia.org page, extract the coordinates from Wikidata, and then render them on an custom logarithmic azimuthal map.

My app pulls a small amount of content from Wikipedia using the MediaWiki API, and I wonder if this could replace that.
