196.25.52.36: FIELD_OTHER

This is a log (reverse chronological) of significant changes to the administration of the FSFwiki. If you want to comment or point out problems, just do so by adding a brief comment below the log entry; use an indented bullet by typing '''<nowiki>**</nowiki>''' before your comment). If you have more than a brief comment, or the change involves policy considerations that could be discussed, consider making a talk page for the change itself, by putting '''<nowiki>[[FSFwiki:square brackets around the text]]</nowiki>''' and then clicking on the text.

==2007 Log==

* 2007/10/13 -- [[User:Lquilter|LQ]] 10:17, 13 October 2007 (PDT)
** Changed license from CC Att/NC/SA to GFDL. Old version saved as 20070930.LocalSettings.php.
** rationale: (a) wikipedia & other GFDL projects won't use CC text, only GFDL, but CC (AT/NC/SA) projects can generally use GFDL. (b) nobody here but me seemed likely to care. <g>
** detailed description of changes & how to change back posted at [http://wiki.dreamhost.com/MediaWiki_licensing_settings dreamhost wiki]
* 2007/10/4 --[[User:Liz Henry|Liz Henry]] 22:52, 4 October 2007 (PDT)
** set $wgCaptchaTriggers['edit'] to true (temporarily) in extensions/recapcha/ConfirmEdit
** this means we will have to do simple captchas for every edit, for a while, against vandalbot attack
** also re-jiggered skip-captcha permissions

* 2007/9/27 --[[User:Liz Henry|Liz Henry]] 08:52, 27 September 2007 (PDT)
** - edited LocalSettings file to exclude css spam.
** - edited extensions/recaptcha/ConfirmEdit options. Registered users do not trigger a captcha.
*** $wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['skipcaptcha'] = true;
*** $ceAllowConfirmedEmail = true;
*** $wgCaptchaWhitelist = true;
*** ConfirmEdit docs here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ConfirmEdit
*** recaptcha dos: http://recaptcha.net/plugins/mediawiki/

* 2007/6/13 - added [http://recaptcha.net/plugins/mediawiki/ Recaptcha]
** it has a speech-recognition captcha for accessibility for visually disabled people

** it is triggered by a) anonymous IP edits with a URL; b) new user registration; c) brute-force password cracking

* 2007/3/29 - Trying to set up a "[[Template:FrontFeature]]" template for the first page.
* 2007/3/29 - Trying to fix the ISBN thing so that we can edit our own list and include our own text.
** Reference links:
*** http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help_talk:ISBN_links
*** http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/ISBN_links
** edited [[MediaWiki:Booksourcetext]] but it did not change the text at [[Special:Booksources]].
** Edited [[FSFwiki:Book sources]] (NOT [[MediaWiki:Book sources]]) and can change our list; now it gets rid of the original text, but still doesn't pull from [[MediaWiki:Booksourcetext]]
** Adapted instructions at [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help_talk:ISBN_links] to add referral links; added derivative work referral code until can figure out fsf

* 2007/1/23 - Copied disambiguation templates from wikipedia <nowiki>{{disambig}}</nowiki> at [[Template:Disambig]] --LQ

* 2007/1/11 - Went back through all the IP addresses blocked for spamming, and set them to just having anonymous edits blocked for a temporary (6 months - 1 year) period of time. No infinite blocking, and no blocking of new-account-creation. --[[User:Lquilter|LQ]] 11:07, 11 January 2007 (PST)

* 2007/1/9 - Added annoying david st*mpel viagra spam to the $wgSpamRegex in LocalSettings.php
** 1/10 - trying to add the word "st*mpel" - not sure if it will work for page titles? --[[User:Lquilter|LQ]] 15:35, 10 January 2007 (PST)
** 1/11 - no, it didn't work. Trying a new approach - cleaning out the spam pages and then protecting them from anonymous users. --[[User:Lquilter|LQ]] 05:56, 11 January 2007 (PST)
** 1/23 - and amazingly, for now, spam has slowed down .... --[[User:Lquilter|LQ]] 19:51, 23 January 2007 (PST)
* 2007/1/4 - Moved search on left side to top, just below logo; per instructions at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Layout_customization (copied at [[FSFwiki:Sidebar search]])
