; January 2010:  Using this wiki to [http://www.phoebeayers.info/phlog/?p=1398 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 [http://wikispot.org/Building_community "Building community" guide]. --[[User:DavidCary|DavidCary]] 20:47, 30 January 2010 (EST)
 
: ''David, wiki on wiki is perfect here - however you want to organize it, and I will go for [[WikiHorde]] also!  Best, [[MarkDilley]]

Upgrade to '''MW 1.14.0''' coming soon - Tentatively scheduled for 16 Apr 2009<br>
Will be limited downtime. [[User:John Stanton|John]] 19:47, 9 April 2009 (EDT)
: As for the upgrade: [[Special:Version|was it canceled?]] Best --[[Wolf Peuker|Wolf]] | <small>[[User talk:Peu|talk]]</small> 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.<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. [[User:John Stanton|John]] 21:24, 27 October 2007 (EDT)
 
 
Spam has been a growing problem for us so I have implemented a Captcha extension called [http://recaptcha.net/ reCAPTCHA] in an effort to reduce the workload on our dedicate volunteer patrollers. If you encounter any problems with it please let me know. [[User:John Stanton|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. [[User:John Stanton|John]] 15:48, 22 July 2007 (EDT)
