Category:OpenEdit: Difference between revisions

'''Category:OpenEdit''' — the [[wiki]]s listed in this [[Special:Categories|category]] are '''open to editing''' by anyone, including anonymous internet users – often called '[[IP editor]]s'.  You do not need to register with a username, nor log-in prior to editing.  This usually applies to ''the vast majority'' of normal article pages on the [[WhatIsWiki|wiki]] site (within the main 'namespace') – but not necessarily to the whole wiki (in particular it need not apply to the wiki 'home page' (or 'Main Page'), which is often locked completely to reduce vandalism), nor templates (as vandalism to high-importance templates can have a disaterous effect on the entire wiki).  The downside to OpenEditing is that the site may be subjected excessive [[spam]] and/or vandalism; and will need a team of vigilant [[sysop]]s to limit the said effects of spam / vandalism.
