Hi ... I'm an electrical engineer with many years of experience owning and operating electric vehicles (EVs), and I am extremely familiar with the EV charging station market. I'm looking for a place to start documenting how to repair EV charging hardware, and Repair.Wiki looks like a good place for me to build up that data set, given the RPG organization behind it.

I have been editing procedures and whatnot into online hypertext documentation systems since before the term "wiki" was applied to them :) So I am familiar with wiki editing basics and how to structure information. But it may take me a while to learn the specific practices here, such as page styles or templates. The worst case would be for me to invest a lot of time into building up this documentation, only to have my work irretrievably deleted because I unknowingly violated a policy. Please reach out if I do anything blatantly wrong.

I do have some questions, and probably will have to take them to Discord* at some point. But if an admin sees this and wants to reach out, that would be great!

Q1: What kind of backup and restoral practices does RPG have in place for this wiki -- what happens if a server gets nuked, or if someone goes nuts on edits and you want to roll back says 6 hours?

Q2: How's your uptime? Pretty much 24/7, or does it go down for hours at a time for whatever reason?

Q3: Reading your FAQ, I believe that if I donate to your 501c3, then I am directly supporting your operations including this wiki, right?

Q4: I'm getting a double hCaptcha prompt on every edit I do, which really slows me down especially when it's a really quick edit (e.g. typo fix). As I gain credibility here, will that drop back to just one prompt or even zero?

Q5: The guidelines say I should add a mfg / model table using the "Edit Semantics" action at the top of the editor, but I don't see that.

Thanks!
