Maintenance Notes
From CSGSA Wiki
Contents |
[edit] Changing system messages
See Special:Allmessages for a list.
[edit] Changing the navbar
Edit MediaWiki:Sidebar.
[edit] Editing users
- To create a new user: as sysop, visit http://csgsa.cs.umn.edu/index.php?title=Special:Userlogin&type=signup and type in the info. Click "Create Account". A new account will be created, and you will not be logged into it.
- To edit priviledges: visit Special:Userrights.
[edit] The old site
The old CSGSA pages are still around in the filesystem under /web/research01/csgsa/. You may need to be a member of the UNIX group csgsa to access them.
[edit] Dealing with spam
- You may wish to install "popups", to make checking diffs and reverting things easier. To do this, copy user:Reid/monobook.js to user:You/monobook.js.
- Don't bother to block individual IP's, unless a particular IP seems to be coming back repeatedly (and one series of several spams isn't repeatedly) -- it's an endless game of whack-a-mole and clutters up the recent changes.
- We have a blacklist of strings that may not appear in edit text -- if they do, the edit is rejected. You can edit this blacklist at /web/mediawiki/csgsa/extensions/SpamBlacklist/wikimedia_blacklist if you are in the csgsa UNIX group.
