You mean it's 2021 and we still can't do umlauts? Embarrassing.
No, as far as the wiki software is concerned, it is 2008, as that is when the version of Mediawiki (
1.12, according to the wiki itself) being used was developed.
The same applies to the forum, BTW, which is using PHPBB 3.0, which dates from 2007.
We've had many, many discussions about updating or replacing the forum, but nothing has ever come of it. Aside from the endless disagreements on the topic and a lack of consensus on what to do, Chase has shown little if any interest in changing anything (he
did discuss switching to Discourse a few years ago, but there was a lot of pushback in any case).
AFAIK, no one has discussed updating the Wiki software before, but I imagine that the result would be the same as with the forum.
