(sigh) Yeah, I am a bit worried about this whole copyright thingie, especially with the insane new laws that are being pushed in the EU. There is still a chance to stop them, but it would take a huge effort. I already have a sizeable offline archive or many important and useful things, it's a habit that has been going on for many years now. So the real problem is if the Wiki/Fandom is affected somehow, which would suck immensely. I'm surprised it took them that long to make the full switch to "Fandom" - it shouldn't cause any immediate problems, but we should still keep our eyes open for stuff that malfunctioned. Perhaps we should think of ways to archive the Wiki itself... just in case, you know.

I just remembered that there is another method to access files from a hard drive image - with 7zip. It has a greater risk of corruption, though, so be careful when you resort to it.

For a second I thought that you were planning to disappear altogether. Glad to see I was wrong. I checked out your solution and it looks pretty decent the way it is. There is a very limited number of possible categories, so you'll always have few tabs. The solutions I was thinking about involved avoiding tabs altogether, but this would mean having more sub-pages, which isn't as efficient. Won't be perfect, but it's better than the old situation with the stacks upon stacks of tabs :P

As for the optimism - I hope that Fandom (cough) will take care of the legal side of things and allow us to preserve our freedom (all or most of it). We'll see. No point in running away from inevitability...
