automatic status implementation

Well, I disagree that my site going down could affect the entire wiki. All that would happen is the server statuses wouldn't show up. And while you're right that a bot would solve this, here are my issues with a bot:

• Have to actually code the bot
• Have to get the bot approved (?)
• Have to completely recode the script, so instead of displaying the table, it'd display bot-parseable information.
• Have to change all the templates we just set up
• Bot would be *very* error intolerant, even more so than my script is at the present time.
• Bot would compete with human editors
• Bot would then be load-sensitive. The way it is now, the wiki could get so much traffic that it crashes, and my script would still load extremely fast and accuratly (due to cacheing).
• Because of the two above, the bot would spam the recent changes.

So, having outlined that, here's my solution:

• Get the script hosted on the wiki server. This is as easy as IJ copying my script folder somewhere, and updating the link to match.
• Code AJAX to replace iframe. Not necessary, but nicer and more secure.

IJ could implement my solution in about 30 seconds. Another note: The bot wouldn't have to go under the mediawiki umbrella. IJ, correct me if I'm wrong, but you could drop a folder called "ServerStatus" in the same directory as index.php for mediawiki, and that folder is then accessible via http://wiki.mabinogiworld.com/ServerStatus/page.whatever
