Is there an update on the wiki issues?
Is anyone able to provide a quick overview on hours/chapter funds spent/billed on both the QRpedia and UK wiki issues?
I know first hand how time consuming hunting and fixing bugs can be, but, it was mid-January when I and others offered support with the MediaWiki issue. I find it hard to believe it's taking this long to track this down.

Jo and I are looking at this and trying to sort it out. Its taking a
bit of time to fully
debug and resolve this - but we are hopeful to share progress soon.
Another month has passed; could we have an update, please?
Looks like this request is a perennial. Having gone over the ground recently with the developer tasked with QRpedia, I'm able to give the following summary.
(1) There is essentially no documentation. (2) There have been numerous patches in the past. (3) The code on GitHub is not the working code. (4) There was a holdup on an access, which has now been granted.
The whole situation clearly must be rectified. Simply pushing for more of (2) is not the professional answer. (1) needs fixed. (3) needs fixed with a README.
For more context: the way leading browsers operate has changed over time.
HTH.
