Have you ever wondered if a page really only comes with the one or two photos added or if it's worth coming back later to see if there are more pictures? If so, the new "up-to-date" comment is for you. Look just above the "About" section of a page. If it says, this page is up-to-date, there won't be any updates to that page anytime soon. The "stamp" will be added to all pages this applies to over time.
Starting today, I will try to work on making the site a little bit more accessible by adding visual descriptions to the photo subpages. You can expect a useful alt-text written out beneath the photo and a very short one like "small pig", "big pig", "cute pig" on the species page as to not spam people using the internet on readers or software blocking photos. I know that alt-text is the only way to "view" photos for millions of people. I also know, AI crawlers will probably misuse those descriptions and I hope I don't get in trouble in terms of server traffic once they notice I am a good source. Well anyway, I hope doing this will make this wiki more accessible to some people. It will take a long time to implement it over the whole wiki and I won't be doing that in one big chunk of time, just as I don't work on the wiki daily and some pages don't even have a description yet.  
 
If you value my work, you can leave a tip now, I've added a Paypal to the FAQ. (This is not related to the accessibility decision, that's not extra work, I wanna do that.) But please, if you do - make it very small amounts. This is a hobby, not an income. Five bucks pay the server bills, ten bucks pay the server bills for two months. So far this wiki is very small, it doesn't take up much space and traffic.
 
If you got redirected to the wiki by my post about how I'm looking for a job in the field - please offer me a job!

Starting today, I will try to work on making the site a little bit more accessible by adding visual descriptions to the photo subpages. You can expect a useful alt-text written out beneath the photo and a very short one like "small pig", "big pig", "cute pig" on the species page as to not spam people using the internet on readers or software blocking photos. I know that alt-text is the only way to "view" photos for millions of people. I also know, AI crawlers will probably misuse those descriptions and I hope I don't get in trouble in terms of server traffic once they notice I am a good source. Well anyway, I hope doing this will make this wiki more accessible to some people. It will take a long time to implement it over the whole wiki and I won't be doing that in one big chunk of time, just as I don't work on the wiki daily and some pages don't even have a description yet.

If you value my work, you can leave a tip now, I've added a Paypal to the FAQ. (This is not related to the accessibility decision, that's not extra work, I wanna do that.) But please, if you do - make it very small amounts. This is a hobby, not an income. Five bucks pay the server bills, ten bucks pay the server bills for two months. So far this wiki is very small, it doesn't take up much space and traffic.
