Problems with the Wiki

[-Nick]

I was in there at the same time as Mikey and this person was saying they've been doing it for ages so yeh, it was probably the same person a few days ago.

On the "bright" side, they did say the rat wasn't actually processed, apparently it was an animation

Thanks Empired! We did have a this problem on Tuesday, we cannot do much more then we are doing now due to the changes of the IP addresses each time. But we are moderating the wiki every so often and we will do our best to make sure it stops.

As it is a "wiki" and it is 50% our job to maintain the wiki - we won't be able to keep the database for ever! It will hopefully be soon though.

The same person has been doing it for a lot longer than a week unfortunately :/

As I can see on the history I think the user has now been banned from the Wiki and pages will be amended in due-course :] - From what I can draft is Bolt660's page is easily regain-able. However, laura's is going to be most difficult to revert changes too s:

It only takes a couple of clicks to revert it.

The same person did it around this time last year, I remember being on holiday and using my dongle Internet to revert the lmao.

You know your page was ruined as well?

Yeah, I blocked their account so they made a clone and trashed my page lol.

Oh God... I suggested something to laura on Skype which I'll message you now. Send me a message when you next come on!

The majority of the problems should be fixed now. We are still reviewing the situation.

maybe something like the forum used to have where the first 5 edits have to be approved first? not sure if that's possible or even if generally speaking non-staff have ever reached +5 edits but just a thought

I suggested this to Matt yesterday as well as laura. The problem is the person who did it in the first place isn't here anymore... and the wiki is hella complicated to use on the admin side so Matt and Tom tried fixing it yesterday, still need to figure it out, but hopefully will be put in place!

I'm not as clued up with the Wiki systems as I should be really, but I'll let you know what I've done anyway.

For now, the entire database has been locked, and I've messaged Will who knows it well to help us out. This means that noone will be able to edit any futher. The image file itself has been deleted from the databases which means it shouldn't appear on any pages.

Unfortunately, this particular attacker has targetted the Wiki on many occasions over a very long period of time. It's sad that people have to go to this lengths to get noticed really but ho hum.

Hopefully will have more information in the morning for you!

What about Content staff?
