Edit Patrol
Can you turn off editpatrol? It's such a silly feature -- rarely used except on big wikis. -- Taxibot Yellow 23:49, 30 Nov 2005 (CST)
- It's mainly on because that's the default setting when MediaWiki is installed. I don't really see any reason to turn it off, it's not really hurting anything. I think I'd rather leave it on in case I decide to start using it someday than turn it off and not have it available.
- I posed an announcement of the wiki on the official boards, and if I'm lucky, maybe the wiki will start getting a lot more attention. If so, there may be folks out there who want to use edit patrol, so I'll leave it on for now.
- Oh, and for anyone reading this who doesn't know what edit patrol is, there is more information at the Wikipedia help site about it.

Version update
Latest MediaWiki 1.4 is 1.4.14.
Wikipedia appears to run 1.6alpha, and they have this nifty features where pages can be protected against new users & anonymous edits while leaving it open to existing users. I'm trying to see if this feature is available in earlier versions.

- That's cool. Since it's relatively stable as it is, I haven't really bothered checking up on upgrades and such. I know I do need to, since I don't want to miss out on any potential security patches. 8-/
- I want to keep it to the stable versions, so I might check into the 1.4.14 version. I'll hold off on the Alpha until it's released as stable. I just hope that when they do the upgrades, they don't change the database schema or make an easy way to upgrade it as well.
