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.  
A new feature has arrived on the wiki! You can now see a list of all animals without having to be an expert in navigating the "special pages". And you can also view the common names in English and German! Gotta be honest here, I added the German ones mostly for my Dad. Because this is how my Dad uses the internet: He has his browser auto-translate every page. So when he gets to the wiki, he sees all the information in German but the moment he types something in the search bar on the top of the page, there is nothing to be found at all. Now there is! If you're a German user and you type an animal into the search bar and the wiki has it - there it is! Have fun with the [[A-Z English|"A-Z"]] index!
 
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!

A new feature has arrived on the wiki! You can now see a list of all animals without having to be an expert in navigating the "special pages". And you can also view the common names in English and German! Gotta be honest here, I added the German ones mostly for my Dad. Because this is how my Dad uses the internet: He has his browser auto-translate every page. So when he gets to the wiki, he sees all the information in German but the moment he types something in the search bar on the top of the page, there is nothing to be found at all. Now there is! If you're a German user and you type an animal into the search bar and the wiki has it - there it is! Have fun with the "A-Z" index!
