Help Us Update The Wiki!

Noope. We keep finding things and we keep updating as we go. Developers.

 

Ok i've been kinda off Wynncraft for a few months, and I come back to discover that a lot of shenanigans have been happening.

Could I get the permission for the wiki ?

 

Sure, just make an account first.

Done! Welcome to the Wiki!

 

Oh derp, I didn't see that he had an account already because his user page is empty. My bad!

 

Well, I could take back the write access, and let you add it back in, but I think that would drive the poor guy crazy.

 

I still think a simple bot wouldve saved so much work in the long run than restricting editing :/

 

Then you haven't seen the devastation caused by spambots in the wiki before the access was restricted. There is no simple automatic method to effectively keep out spambots. I tried to convince Tama to introduce a captcha on account creation, but he didn't reply. So that's why we do it manually.

 

Yes there is, its very simple, and a lot of the NIWA Wikis (which also use Media Wiki) use basic bots to keep spammers out, and deleted. The banning process has to be done manually, but the deletion of spam can be done with bots

 

After the great spambot attack, we did use a bot to clean up the mess, but it deleted tons of not affected pages and banned a lot of innocent users too, including myself. With our method, we can be 100% sure that we have no spambots with minimal effort.

 

Trying to edit pages (although I should have the permissions) just results in endless loading for me; am I doing something wrong?

 

I would love to help out with the wiki. My username is garrettrocks100

 

It seems to have worked, you made three edits.

permission granted

 

Click "Edit Source" not "Edit", I got the same problem as well when I click "Edit". However you can access editting a page if you click "Edit Source" next to the "Edit" button, that's how it works ^^

 

Yea, found that out after trying a few times yesterday, thank you tho!

 

"Edit" requires a plug-in that has not been installed, unfortunately. It's a WYSIWYG plug-in that I would love to add to the Wiki. <sigh>

Dang it. I have no notifications from this thread for today, at all. ADMINS!!

 

By the way, the same applies to the forums. When you click on the wrench icon, you can edit the source code of your post. I always recommend editing the source code to prevent terrible code formatting through automatic plugins. For example, in my old shop thread, the visual editor added a few hundred useless characters to the code that did nothing. On the wiki it's the same, you can make the source code neat, efficient and, above all, easy to read by using the source editor.

 

You guys are doing a great job on the server - keep it up!

 

Sweet, I'm glad people are finally talking about this

I don't know much about how this process will go, but I'd like to join the wiki too. I already made an account that matches my IGN
Edit: Or it seems my forum username, Tebbi123 with a capital T. I don't know how important that may be.
