Wiki security?Follow

#1 Jun 04 2008 at 6:20 PM Rating: Decent
Hiya, I just signed up. Checking out new stuff since the update. Wowhead integration, character profiles. Cool. Was looking at this page. Clicked edit. Edited. Clicked save. Wait, what, it worked?

Seriously, can I edit any wiki page? Is that a feature or a bug? Because wiki vandalism is real.

Yup, and we can roll back your edit with a single click and IP ban you the instant it is reported too. So we're not too worried about it.

This doesn't seem that different from wikipedia where, as long as you're logged in, you can edit. And, like Kao said, can be wombatted back.

Though I think there are some pages that are locked. The main page comes to mind.

Ding! The sound you make when you level or the name of the post you make when you get to 10k.

Thanks for pointing that one out. Critical pages (like main pages and SOME templates) and certain system pages can be protected, and I just protected that one. Now only staff can edit it.
