I can keep those offsite ones updated until MediaWiki is editable again, sure! I just realize the way we have it now is not ideal. Having to wait for me when I'm not around for a few hours after the updates is not the best. For an offsite tool, the nicest way would be to have a dedicated database that multiple people (like you) would have access to modifying, so that it all didn't depend on one person. But I had neither the funds nor the time to purchase database space and set up an offsite tool. And our preference is much more to embed the tools on-site anyway, which is why we thought using MediaWiki was fine... until now. :/

I'm just really frustrated with everything. There are ways I want to improve the tools on-site, but they involve the Wikia dance. I see people making nice offsite tools, but I wonder if they would be willing to help translate those to embed on-site, or if they will run into the same struggles as we did.

I'm so tired. And I hate to be dropping this on you now after all that's been happening, but I wanted to give you some advance warning so that you know what's going through my mind.
