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)

Edit Patrol

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.
