Test forums down?

Just as I figure out something to really post on the test forums, I can't get too them. It looks like more fun stuff with the transition.

And while talking about the transition, what provider are you using and do they seem decent. I'm definatly paying too much for my provider and need to change. --StarGeek 12:59, 13 Feb 2006 (PST)

You're right, they were down. Dammit, I thought I tested everything. When I moved the PC Free Press site over, I forgot to go in and change the forum database information. I've corrected it now, and the forums should be accessible at their normal location, http://www.pcfreepress.com/forums. Soon I plan on adding a redirect to The Paragon Wiki.com domain so that you can get to them through that location, too.

As for the hosting provider, it's kind of ironic that you mentioned it, because I talked about why I changed and who I'm with now in a rather detailed post in the forums. Of course, if you couldn't get to 'em, you wouldn't know that. Grrr...

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.

You can turn it back on without a problem, if you want to use it in the future. I really wish it would default off. -- Taxibot Yellow 19:20, 10 Jan 2006 (CST)

Spam

You may want to check out MediaWiki anti-spam features... -- Taxibot Yellow 12:31, 15 Jan 2006 (CST)

Checking it out now, thanks! -- TonyV 12:36, 15 Jan 2006 (CST)

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.
