We think it has been compromised and have removed it as a temporary measure

Problem was bad behavior (CPU usage + warning log flooding disk space) after mysql update, the server wasn't compromised.
Wiki will be restored shortly.

While you're at it, maybe consider updating Mediawiki? Last time I checked it was very outdated. I don't know how many of the updates are security-related, but still.

Update:
I'm actively working on restoring it and upgrading to latest mediawiki.
No worries about the content, it's been thoroughly backed up.

Sorry it took me so long.
It's back and mostly working, running on latest mediawiki.
If things go haywire, it's been thoroughly backed up and can be reverted to current state.
Some things look weird, front page clickpic in particular. Looks like clickpic template isn't working properly, I've not been able to figure out why, hopefully someone can enlighten me or edit it.

At first glance I noticed fewer installed extensions but assumed it was still a work in progress.
User groups are a bit different too.

Yeah I know obviously (it takes time to finish up the restoration and even upgrade this wiki to latest MediaWiki), especially the infobox templates now showing the text "[[File:" above and "|256px]]" below the actual image, as I've seen on this one but not just that

Taken offline because someone/something appears is DoSing the server. Will be back shortly.

Extensions will be restored, I'm looking at them one by one, if they're actually still needed. This stuff was set up over 10 years ago and I wasn't in charge of it then.

That didn't fix the clickpic template
which means the fb2k template is still broke.

@Peter
Template:Clickpic
Looks like you might need to check localSettings.php

I've made an adjustment to the Template:Infobox foobar2000 component
I've also asked the template author @beardgoggles  to have a look.

Okay, clickpic fixed by copying $wgAllowExternalImagesFrom from old config, thanks for the tip.

clickpic still doesn't appear to be working (maybe after a wiki restart?)
The main page image link was changed by @ktf  so the current main page is not a representation of the working template.

Silly me. I used Template:Fb2k as an indication clickpic wasn't working.
The image linked in Template:Fb2k was http://
Template:Clickpic is not working with http://
but works fine with https:// external image links

Changed image link in Template:Fb2k (now working)
