A few hours earlier, there was hack on wikia, specifically on the developers wiki, where we source some of our scripts.

It caused pages to disappear, and get replaced by these messages:
 * Guys you need to protect your js files
 * oops i broke it
 * i broke it

This is not isolated to kancolle.wikia.com. Any wikia that imports specific scripts from dev.wikia.com were affected, including elderscrolls, fnaf, etc.

The culprit is a specific wikia user named Regalis111.

The user edited common scripts that we take from dev.wikia.com (which were not protected from public editing). It was a small blunder for wikia dev, forgetting to restrict editing permissions from these files. It is not a highly technical cyber-battle hack, but a simple oops.

After a few minutes, dev wikia admins started undoing and protecting these pages/scripts from public editing:
