Using this wiki to organize other wiki work, an idea, what you think? ~~ MarkDilley
The idea is called WikiHorde and it is a crew of wiki people (checking to see if we can get that domain) - Best, MarkDilley'
That sounds like a cool idea. By the way, is there a place on WikiIndex for discussing ideas for running a wiki? That would include the above "good methods for inviting/advertising people elsewhere to come edit my wiki", etc. Is there a category for wiki where such "wiki on wiki" conversations are welcomed? Conversations such as, for example, the "Building community" guide. --DavidCary 20:47, 30 January 2010 (EST)

Reddit mention in comments

Upgrade to MW 1.14.0 coming soon - Tentatively scheduled for 16 Apr 2009
Will be limited downtime. John 19:47, 9 April 2009 (EDT)

As for the upgrade: was it canceled? Best --Wolf | talk 04:26, 20 January 2010 (EST)
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.

Reducing the number of extensions to isolate the source of server load problems:

  • Analytics
  • Dynamic Page List
  • Random Include
  • Thumbnail

To avoid the Captcha, Login! and Confirm via Email 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. 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. John 21:24, 27 October 2007 (EDT)


Spam has been a growing problem for us so I have implemented a Captcha extension called reCAPTCHA in an effort to reduce the workload on our dedicate volunteer patrollers. If you encounter any problems with it please let me know. John 14:04, 1 September 2007 (EDT)


Once again we have moved, we ran out of database room on our shared hosting account and we are now running on a dedicated server on 1and1. John 15:48, 22 July 2007 (EDT)
