Who vandalized the wiki?

I went through the history of all 84 pages here https://wiki.project1999.com/Category:Permafrost and rolled back any change made in Jan 2021 and later. I refreshed the Perma zone page after every change. Nothing I did made a difference, I undid all my changes and are at a loss...

I don't know exactly how it works, but the wiki scripts that control the dynamic zone stuff don't update immediately. Instead, they update daily? nightly? weekly?

So, even if all your reverts did fix it, you'd have to wait at least 24 hours (and maybe as long as a week, if you want to be truly certain) before you'd know whether it actually fixed things.

@loramin did you or anyone edit the Loc Map or the scripts that pull them in recently? Grasping at straws here

I didn't, but another wiki admin (Kaejer) recently did "loc map" Permafrost.

However, without getting super technical, the "loc map" feature (ie. being able to see maps with red Xs on them to show where NPCs are) is completely "client-side": it happens entirely in your browser (in Javascript).

But the dynamic zone stuff is done "server-side", using PHP. In a technical sense they are entirely distinct, and the loc map stuff can't cause a problem like this (because, to the server, the only change the loc map stuff makes is to add a category to the page ... and that's 100% harmless).
