==== 28 July 2014 - Temporary Shut Off of Semantic MediaWiki  ====
From [[RayKing]]:  Ben shut off that extension because it was somehow being abused and we were seeing problems on ICANNWiki which shares the same server (these are the only 2 sites on this server).  I'm cc'ing Jonah (ICANNWiki) and Ben now, having just read the thread in your e-mail to see if there's a resolution to both issues. ~~ [[MarkDilley]]

: From [[Emufarmers]]:  I've added a robots.txt file telling bots not to crawl the dynamically generated pages; it looks like in this case it was probably a well-intentioned spider.  I've re-enabled Semantic MediaWiki for now, though I can't guarantee that I won't have to disable it again.

: Wolf, yes it was and we are needing to figure out a different path to upgrading.  Maybe we can chat off wiki?  Best, [[MarkDilley]]

Looks like the DPL extension was the source of server outages, everything stable again.<br>
[[User:John Stanton|John]] 19:54, 4 June 2008 (EDT)<br>
Reducing the number of extensions to isolate the source of server load problems:
* Analytics
* Dynamic Page List
* Random Include
* Thumbnail

<big>''To avoid the Captcha, [[Help:Login / create account|Login]]!'' and Confirm via Email</big>  [[User:John Stanton|John]] 18:24, 20 November 2007 (EST)
Changed reCAPTCHA permissions so that a logged in user who has confirmed via email address should be able to skip the CAPTCHA. We continue to tweek reCAPTCHA to combat the jibberish spam knowing that it was not meant for this purpose, it was meant for link spam. I can always ease off on the restrictions but the price we pay is more jibberish spam. [[User:John Stanton|John]] 18:23, 20 November 2007 (EST)
Upped reCAPTCHA permissions so that any anon edit will trigger the Captcha. This should cut out the jibberish spam but will likely annoy our non-logged in users - Sorry everyone but jibbersish spam is really bugging us. Let me know if any unintended consequences show up.
