Forum:When will Wikia start supporting IPv6?

.

Just wanted to know. Random yoshi 777 random as of 06/6/2012!!! 02:14, June 6, 2012 (UTC) and don't complain about the signature, I will fix it soon.

From what I know, Wikipedia has this problem that their database isn't set up for the big IPv6 addresses. I reckon Wikia might be in a similar position.--PedroM 02:58, June 6, 2012 (UTC)

What I'm asking for is a general time frame. Random yoshi 777 random as of 06/6/2012!!! 14:44, June 6, 2012 (UTC)


 * IPv6 support is currently not on Wikia's roadmap. This is something I suspect MediaWiki will have to take the lead in since this goes down to the very core software.
 * Again, I can't stress enough what I said in your last forum post. 'If you want staff to directly answer a question, the best thing to do is to write a message to Special:Contact than to tag everything as "Staff needed".' I really don't want to come down hard, but this workflow is in place for a reason - I will start untagging posts without answering if I feel the community can answer them easily. --daNASCAT 15:07, June 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * Ok are you suredaNascat? Brock77.
 * I think he is. IPv6 is still a long time from becoming a standard, and as daNASCAT said, it'd most likely be implemented into the MediaWiki core by its developers. 16:35, June 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * Okay Sactage Brock77.

IPv6 already is implemented into Mediawiki.--PedroM 10:43, June 7, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks a lot :D Captain.


 * Version 1.17 and later of the MediaWiki engine has IPv6 support. Unfortunately, Wikia is still on 1.16.x. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 13 Jun 2012 2:09 PM Pacific
