To the idiot at 219.88.*.* who kept porn-spamming this page: congratulations. Because of you, I have blocked the entire /16 netblock (apparently a huge chunk of New Zealand). '''Why''' do we let idiots have dynamic IP addresses??		 Miscellaneous pages: NetEtiquette, XyProblem.
Line 22: Line 17:
 Also, congratulations to greycat for blocking a whopping 65536 users out of spite just to stop one little spammer - an obviously constructive method of dealing with the fact that one's running an open wiki on a hostile network. There are also some [[CategoryRant|rants]].
Line 24: Line 19:
  And what would you do instead? Require me to activate wiki accounts by hand before letting people edit pages? This wiki uses [[HelpOnSpam|text captchas]] on page edits. [[TrustedEditorGroup|Trusted editors]] will not see them.
Line 26: Line 21:
   A suggestion 1) I get a lot of mileage on my personal wiki out of blocking anonymous users from saving pages with URLs in them. ----
This is a [[http://moinmo.in/|MoinMoin]] wiki. Language packages have been installed for English, French, German and Spanish, but virtually all the content is in English.
Line 28: Line 24:
   A suggestion 2) Please install and activate ''Captchpa'' feature which would be asked before attempting to edit a page As of December 2012, this wiki runs on a Debian virtual private server with Apache2 and mod_wsgi.
Line 30: Line 26:
   A suggestion 3) Require to to use ''Preview'' before page is actually posted. Prior to that, it ran on an OpenBSD box with a very slow Internet connection, using [[http://moinmo.in/HowTo/ApacheWithCherryPy|CherryPy]] with Apache rewriting magic to help out. Prior to ''that'', it ran on the same box using the "twisted" package (instructions for that no longer exist!), with a simpler Apache reverse proxy pointing to it.
Line 32: Line 28:
   A suggestion 4) Use [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarpit_(networking)|teergrube]] (technique from SMTP spammer tar-pits). Accept page only after N minutes has passed since user pressed ''edit''. Say 3 minutes.

  (From an unaffected chunk of NZ): Thanks for the pages, greycat. It occurs to me that a wiki ought to be able to block edits from IP ranges without blocking views. I'll look into moinmoin.

This is a [[http://moinmo.in/|MoinMoin]] wiki. Language packages have been installed for German and Spanish, but virtually all the content herein is in English.

  • Search for page titles or text within pages using the search box at the top of any page

  • See HelpForBeginners to get you going, HelpContents for all help pages.

To learn more about what a WikiWikiWeb is, read about WhyWikiWorks and the WikiNature. Also, consult the WikiWikiWebFaq.
