Yeah, I did run update.php manually.
...but I just realized that I am using MediaWiki 1.44.0 (i.e. the latest version), and there is no SMW version for that yet.
I guess I found my problem. 😭

Addendum: When I run update.php, I get the following messages during "Supplement jobs" (i.e. the part that the website doesn't get out of). This does seem rather different from how this part is supposed to go, such as described here:

...I am not an expert on #MediaWiki installations, but I am suspecting that seeing the same update screen without changes for 15 minutes on a rather small wiki is not a good sign.

If you have a #blog , does it have #ActivityPub integration - either natively or via an appropriate plugin (such as the ActivityPub plugin for WordPress)?
If so, share its account name here - so that people can follow them and comment on them with their regular #FediVerse account!
I think this functionality is one of the most underappreciated aspects of the Fediverse. It's not quite an #RSS feed, but it's awesome in its own right.
I've often been asked if I wanted to produce some #ttrpg material based on my research of German #folklore , and in fact I have often thought of that myself. Considering my time constraints, this is currently nothing more than a fantasy - but it is fun to think about.
One important question is the setting. There are two main opinions:
(a) An entirely fictional "fantasy counterpart" version of Germany - the approach taken by #Brancalonia and #WFRP .
(b) A real world historical period, but with added fantastical elements.
For (b), I think the aftermath of major wars would be best, since that would offer the most opportunities for stereotypical "roving bands of adventurers" as player characters, with the PCs likely being war veterans (the war themselves would likely be too bleak for much of the folkloric whimsy).
The best periods I can think of are the aftermaths of the Thirty Years' War and the Napoleonic Wars. The latter would be more authentic to the folk tales, since most of the folk tales were written down in the 19th century. The former, on the other hand, would allow for more fantastic stories, since they were set longer ago. But I do think the setting should be within the Modern Era, and not the Middle Ages, since the folklore would have been too different back then.
What are your thoughts on this? How would you conceptualize a setting based on German folklore?

#WritersCoffeeClub Aug 7: Have you always written, or was there a tipping point to get you to start?
I often fantasized about writing #ttrpg stuff, and a few minor things actually reached publication.
But the real tipping point came in 2018 when I discovered the vast number of German folk tales in the public domain, and realized that translating these would give me a truly unique business model - a rarity in the oversaturated book market of our times.
I am still looking for #ttrpg / #pnpde blogs with #ActivityPub integration! Feel free to add your own to the list!
Remember - thanks to the power of the #Fediverse, you can subscribe to and comment on these blogs with your regular Fediverse account!

"Traditional" #journalism had its fair share of problems, but the rise of Google's advertising empire completely wrecked the primary source of income for most newspapers - and the remainder are gradually bought up by the fascist-adjacent business elite and turned into right-wing propaganda pieces.
Yet I do think that good journalism - delving into the facts of a situation, and explaining it to the public - is desperately needed. So how can we get more of it - and finance it, in this late-stage Capitalist hellscape we find ourselves in?
