  • MediaWiki upgrade:: Sarkarverse's platfrom MediaWiki was upgraded from MW 1.21 to MW 1.22 in the first week of March. This upgrade brought both benefits and hassles. With the upgrade, we got a faster site, some errors were fixed — these were benefits, and the upgrade also brought some new errors, we had to update a series of modules and templates, these were hassles.
  • Scribunto Lua— No more': Scribunto is a core extension of MediaWiki that uses Lua programming language. From the very first day we have bee facing difficulties with this extension. In mid-November (2013) it was fixed, and now the error is back and is affecting hundreds of pages and templates. Our editors are working to fix it.
  • Lack of editors: Although Sarkarverse is going to be 5 months' old this March, the site is still badly lacking active editors. Currently this site is being run by only 2 or 3 editors.
