Wiki is down

[Mrifk]

http://wiki.xkcd.com/ is down. Could the link http://wiki.xkcd.com/irc/Bucket be updated to https://web.archive.org/web/20190224153505/http://wiki.xkcd.com/irc/Bucket ? Perhaps the docs could be put in this repository's wiki?

It's not likely to be down long enough to warrant updating the links. It's apparently tied to the service hosting xkcd's forums, which are offline for a security audit.

Having docs in this repo couldn't hurt, though. Just not in GitHub's wiki feature… But feel free to make a PR adding docs here!

For what it's worth, we have been using GitHub's wiki feature for a bit. Anyone remember why that was a bad idea?

GitHub's wiki feature has always felt a little clunky to me, but at this point it's certainly better than just not having the wiki content available anywhere.

I was hoping the xkcd wiki and forums would be restored eventually, but after over two years I think it's time to move on. (Can't blame anyone for not wanting to deal with the effort of restoring them. Some of my own web stuff is still offline after 6 months because of the effort it would take to restore from backups, vs. the tiny amount of utility it would bring.)
