Migrate Tech Wiki
Some info has been copied from the Tech Info Wiki, but there's still more to do.
- I recently updated the tech info wiki after it was pointed out that it a page on there was in need of updating, but completely forgot about this Wiki. I suppose we should clear pages on the tech wiki pages after migration? It'd be helpful to provide a link from the tech wiki to here, but I'm not sure how that fits in with Wikia's policies. —Zub 01:23, 3 April 2014 (BST)
