Revision as of 02:53, 20 June 2006
I had some spare time and the inclination today to do some editing. :) Is there any way you are able to remove the error from the .htm files that are being used as a source for those pages? The error with the mispelled Mathew exist in these files too, so in their current state they are going to be adding to the workload in terms of editing out the spelling error before pasting the content into the articles. This is more of a 'spurt' of activity for me, so there is no real rush for any of this to occur. --Mustaphile 18:23, 20 April 2006 (EDT)
Hi Mustaphile,
Yes, it is possible to search replace. I went ahead and changed it in all the pages along with some other changes that may help. However, there may still be a few things such as removing the space below Mathew Henry link etc. to make it appear the way we want may still have to be done manually. I will keep trying to see if we could do that in an easier way. I uploaded the new updated files.

I've noticed something strange
The Talk:Main Page was moved by Willy on Wheels and then moved back and then it shows me as moving Talk:Main Page to Bitch. I never visited the page on the 11th of May, nor did I move the Talk:Main Page, so I'm curious how the edit history comes to show me as making the move. It's a mystery. I thought perhaps someone might have cracked my account, but my password is definitely not a weak password. It's most disconcerting.

-edit-
Ah I see now. I think it is someone who has signed up with my name but is using a capital 'I' for Idiot, instead of an lower case 'l' for larry. I noticed this as I was editing this message. :) --Mustaphile 02:17, 12 May 2006 (PDT)

Added new sysop
I've added user Ymmotrojam to the list of sysops. I assume thats ok to do. --Mustaphile 22:50, 19 May 2006 (PDT)
user permissions
Prab, just thought I'd make note of the conversation on Talk:Main Page about restricting the ability to move pages to only sysops and higher. --Tom 23:07, 19 May 2006 (PDT)
- I'd be supportive of this restriction. The latest vandalism would be resolved quite effectively with this one measure. --Mustaphile 01:39, 1 June 2006 (PDT)
- As a fellow wiki admin, I'd almost want to make wikichristian over again from scratch, starting off with the latest version of mediawiki, and the latest spam protection measures... I can't imagine how junked up the database must be with all the spam it has gotten, and I'm not entirely surprised that the site has had corruption errors in the past. You could even save the 'user' table in the database so that people don't have to re-register. That's just me though... File:Big grin.gif
--Tom 02:08, 1 June 2006 (PDT)
- I agree that we should restrict the ability of the users to move the pages. The mediawiki version we are using is pretty recent and we do use spam protection measures such as wordpress. However, it is a constant process and we will have to keep upto date with the latest antispam features.
