info - how to create new wiki accounts?

  • login to the wiki
  • choose "special pages" in the left menu
  • chose "create an account or login" on top
  • fill in the fields "user name", "email" and "real name"
  • hit the button "by email"
  • send a confirmation mail to the user and the admin list


spam issues

as with the start of the wiki having lots of trouble with spam at the moment, I need to document some things here we can do about that situation

just some short notes:

  • we have now an rss2email service running so Thomas and Henning get changelog to see shit happening immediately. the mail interval is not once a day, which might be too short
  • there seems to be no script available that let one delete all changes made by a specific user. This would pare lots of time, and Henning stars fiddling out how to write that - need some deeper knowledge about the database, some hints must be found somewhere in the mediawiki code. I requested this script at mediawiki's request for queries page

eventually, we could also add here some more hints about running the fai wiki
