About JavaScript
Updated 2026/10/12: this section used to announce a hard requirement. That policy has been dropped. Visitors with JavaScript switched off now get a small notice instead of being turned away, and every page still reads without it.
Two things do need JavaScript, and only two:
- the countdown on the maintenance page;
- the maintenance admin tool.
Why did we ask in the first place?
Because undeniably, JavaScript plays an important role in website-building, and some incoming services require it. Some users disable JavaScript for security reasons, which is a perfectly reasonable choice — the site now respects it. The Github repository is public if you want to inspect what the site actually runs.
Localization Plan
Recently, we've received some complaint letters which are mainly about the localization problems
To begin with, the whole website is mainly written by English. It not only make the user from another nations easy to understand the article, but also benefit the contributors. But don't worry, we will carry out a localization project aimed to translate them into Simplified Chinese（简体中文）。Soon there ia a page called Translation Progress created.
