The OPL wiki is being modified by some Chinese guys. In the beginning they only added a lot of links to topics, but now topic text is being removed and replaced by a long list of useless links.
Ewan or Rafe, please close it down so it can be repaired. I think we need to think of another way of maintaining the information. The Wiki is simply too open.
Arjen, thanks for the note - we'll have to think of a passworded way I think to lock it down 😞
Is it possible to disable editing for the time being?
I've been restoring more than 100 pages to their originals over the last couple of days, but these guys don't know when to stop.....
Even with the change in the Wiki (only registered users allowed to edit posts), hundreds of topics have been edited again.
Is it possible to do something about this? After restoring hundreds of topics (also by other Wiki members), it feels like carrying water to the sea.
I'm on to this now. I'm going to restrict editing to sepcified admins only for the time being.
This is now done.
I had banned various IP's but that evidently didn't work. Apologies for not keeping a close eye on it.
I guess the OPL team might need to collectively think about a way to procede. That said this should work fine for now.
Currently in the admin list:
"Admins" => "RafeBlandford\nEwanSpence\nJimHughes\nMartinDehler\nArjenBroeze\nRickA",
Thats from the wakka.config.php file. If anyone needs adding its easy to do. If anyone wants me to do this email me, or edit directly (if you need FTP access ask me).
Maybe we should keep it this way for the time being. If anyone has additions to pages, they can post a comment and the admins can include this in the actual pages.
We still run the risk of spam in the comments, but at least this won't screw up the contents of the pages and spam comments are easily removed.
All the topics modified by those bastards have been restored. Now they're using the comments to attach spam, but that's easily deleted 😊
@Rafe, I tried to add some pages for the new OPL commands (SETHELP, mCARDX etc), but the Wiki won't let me (insufficient priviliges). Can you fix this? Thanks a lot in advance.
