==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;
*** $wgCaptchaWhitelist = true;
*** ConfirmEdit docs here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ConfirmEdit
*** recaptcha dos: http://recaptcha.net/plugins/mediawiki/
** - edited .htaccess to add rule against blank user-agent
*** SetEnvIf User-Agent ^$ spammer=yes (explained in comments in .htaccess)
** would like to install Bad Behavior as well as described here:
*** http://wiki.evernex.com/index.php?title=Blocking_Spam_in_Mediawiki
*** http://www.homelandstupidity.us/software/bad-behavior/installing-and-using-bad-behavior/on-mediawiki/
*** nice article from Angela B. on fighting vandalism http://wikiangela.com/wiki/Dealing_with_vandalism
*** potentially useful page on patrolling: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/MediaWiki_Administrator%27s_Handbook/Recent_Changes_Patrol

* 2007/8/14 - updated references files per [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Cite/Cite.php mediawiki.org]
* 2007/6/13 - added [http://recaptcha.net/plugins/mediawiki/ Recaptcha]
** it has a speech-recognition captcha for accessibility for visually disabled people
** it is a shared computing project that helps OCR book scanning projects
** it is triggered by a) anonymous IP edits with a URL; b) new user registration; c) brute-force password cracking
* 2007/6/3 - upgraded to 1.10.0
* 2007/5/19 - fixed the [[FSFwiki:Sidebar search|sidebar search]] AGAIN
* 2007/4/22 - trying to set up interwiki features: [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Guide_for_system_administrators_for_setting_up_interwiki_linking mediawiki instrux]
* 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
** Tested [[FSFwiki:Booksourcetext]] but still doesn't pull from there. Huh?
* 2007/2/20 - fixed the sidebar search thing again
* 2007/2/13 - trying to add the refs template & related cite.php files per [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Cite/Cite.php WikiMedia]
* 2007/2/3 - upgraded mediawiki to 1.9 per dreamhost instructions at [http://wiki.dreamhost.com/index.php/MediaWiki#Upgrading_to_Mediawiki_1.7.1_and_PHP5] --[[User:Lquilter|LQ]] 17:48, 3 February 2007 (PST)
* 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]])
** This will have to be done after every wiki upgrade, because it's not a LocalSettings.php fix. It's a change to wiki.feministsf.net/skins/MonoBook.php . (2007/2/20)
