	\| colspan="2" \|Currently due to spam we have a large volume of garbage e-mail addresses which are signing up to the wiki and posting spam. This is because the wiki in a sense has become a victim of its own success -- as our rankings have become higher in Google, we have immediately been hit with Spam from various locations. Balancing this has been difficult with the small resources we have had, due to the fact that we don't want to blanket ban areas like Russia from visiting the site, but we also don't want to open up signup because then so much junk would end up getting posted which would take up most of our resources to remove to get rid of it.		\| colspan="2" \|Currently due to spam we have a large volume of garbage e-mail addresses which are signing up to the wiki and posting spam.

			* Allowlist has been updated to allow only reputable email domains, the rest are blocked. Blocklist needs to be mirrored to explicitly block anything other than these domains.

|'''Growth - Opening Wiki To The Public'''
|'''0%'''
|-
| colspan="2" |Currently due to spam we have a large volume of garbage e-mail addresses which are signing up to the wiki and posting spam. This is because the wiki in a sense has become a victim of its own success -- as our rankings have become higher in Google, we have immediately been hit with Spam from various locations. Balancing this has been difficult with the small resources we have had, due to the fact that we don't want to blanket ban areas like Russia from visiting the site, but we also don't want to open up signup because then so much junk would end up getting posted which would take up most of our resources to remove to get rid of it.
At the moment MediaWiki doesn't have great plugins which can be used for this purpose, so we'd need to roll our own and share it with the MediaWiki community so they can use it too. We do have plugins we have used which have stemmed ''most'' of the spam when we did have signups open, which had custom rules to prevent new accounts from creating new pages but, spam adapted so we have to, too.

|'''Content - Launching RagNews'''
|'''0%'''
|-
| colspan="2" |RagNews is the Ragnarok-Based news service which is written in GO and uses Facebook's LLaMa LLM to summarise content which is going on within the ragnarok community. Currently this is scraping all of the relevant sites within the RO universe and then outputting content. This needs to be systematised and then rolled out in the existing domain name.
