Lock this page

I think it is about time that this page is locked so only admins can edit it.--Blachman 18:59, 23 September 2009 (CEST)

• Seconded. Very seconded. LStaley416 19:01, 23 September 2009 (CEST)
• To be fair, the reason why it's unlocked is because in my opinion, I know that I'm proned to fucking shit up when I tinker with the front page and people might actually want to add something neat to the front page. I understand the concern due to recent vandalism, so if others users feel this way, then the front page will be locked. --Champthom 19:05, 23 September 2009 (CEST)
• Is it possible to change the new user creation so it requires admin approval? That'd make it harder for faggots to simply sign up and vandalize the place, you could make them go through the IRC channel or something. Of course, that goes against the idea of a wiki being open to editing, but there's not really a nice way of stopping vandalism. SirCucumber 19:27, 23 September 2009 (CEST)

• CWCki, as I see it, strives to be open and people should be encouraged to edit it. Going into IRC shouldn't really be a prerequisite of CWCki. Some people don't like IRC and that's fine. Frankly, we're not really in a position to restrict users. As cogs said, she's working on installing an extension which will can easily spot vandalism and reverse it instantly since Cogs, myself, and Clyde can't monitor CWCki every single second. There's some really neat stuff bots can do with MediaWiki in respect to vandalism. But anyways, any wiki is subject to vandalism, but we learn to handle it and hopefully an extensions and maybe an anti-vandalism patrol will help. --Champthom 21:34, 23 September 2009 (CEST)

• well, it's only one person, and the vandalism is fairly regular. i think granting some users anti-vandalism powers and possibly installing an extension will do. --cogsdev/vedsgoc 19:43, 23 September 2009 (CEST)

Someone with move rights...

...plz move Main Page/Archive 1 to Talk:Main Page/Archive 1. What happens in Talk: should stay in Talk:, and people who (for example) whack Special:Random should be spared from these ramblings =) --wwwwolf (wake me when you need me) 19:59, 23 September 2009 (CEST)

• Good point, sometimes I miss small details like that D:. --Champthom 21:34, 23 September 2009 (CEST)
