Save the Wiki NOW

[Angelox]

I'm asking FNW to go ahead and delete all the current Wikki accounts , so we can just start over. I figure the ones of us who are posting Wikki data can just re-make their same account. I think this will be best, but if anyone doesn't think this is a good idea, please post now. If FNW agrees, I'll make a related anouncement.

LOL

Bad day of month. Server is EDT, so try tomorrow (:

Today IS the 28th =P

$today = getdate(time());
$show_date = $today['mday'];

$show_date will return the day of the month =)

FNW is going for the spam-bots and not deleting the user base, 144 already deleted. If you see more active spam bots, make a list and post here.

Those who are repairing Wikki: make sure you know how to revert pages to previous versions - Edit the page and delete the spam, is not quite the right way to do it.
All original history is still there, just not visible ;
Click on the date thing to the right of "page history" at the bottom and then click on the dated link on the history list you can re-edit and re-save the older revision. Also, In your user options, you can edit the "page revision list limit", then you can always get back to pre-spam data.

Most of the above is quoted from conversation with FNW on IRC tonite.

Thanks for your help!

On the "page revision list limit", its default is 20 in my settings. What setting would be best? Also, is it ok to get to the history by just clicking on the history link next to a page on recent changes list?

I understand the reasoning behind using the history to get rid of the spam but I'm on dialup. It takes a long time for the history to load so I won't be able to clean the wiki up in one session like I was doing. I'll just have to do it bit by bit as time permits.

Cool! Some others are editing too so this will be done in no time!
