Staff have been asked and they will not be upgrading the version of mediawiki anytime soon, its apparently not practical. staff have also torn the code into bits and added custom code that all they do now is backport patches to core mediawiki. they are not using the revenue to upgrade things, they may update the server software or hardware but as you may have noticed; the database itself is crashing resulting in errors.

that being said, the pokemon fan base has already indicated their preferences to Google's algorithm as to ranking. Unfortunately in terms of wikis, Bulbapedia is prefered over the wikia one. You can see for yourself by doing a few Google searches. If you have not bothered to read my response on my blog, its very strange that out of the wikis involved that only pokemon is active compared to the list of dead wikis. staff is only trying to generate fake SEO, which in the end only harms your home wiki. Google hates this and can knock pokemon wiki off the first page of results when they are made aware of this. I would highly recommend the community over at pokemon wiki to send staff a clear message to remove pokemon as a hot word.
