barefootguru 67 Report post Posted March 6, 2018 I created an account on the wiki, edited a page (‘minor edit’), and hit Save, but the changes don’t stick. Have tried reloading the page. Do I need to be approved? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ACME WildCachers 15 Report post Posted March 6, 2018 I created an account and tried to edit my user page with the same result. The URL after I saved my changes had something like modqueued (I didn't save it) which would seem to indicate the change has to be approved. Assuming that's temporary or something is misconfigured.

rragan 200 Report post Posted March 6, 2018 Wiki changes are moderated/reviewed by Nic. Once he is comfortable you are a good guy, he can turn moderation off. Thanks for contributing. 1 barefootguru reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nic Hubbard 645 Report post Posted March 6, 2018 Yes, moderation is turned on. As @rragan said, for known users I will turn this off. Can both of you email me your Wiki usernames so I can add you to the moderator list? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
barefootguru 67 Report post Posted March 6, 2018 Will do. You might want to add something to the main page or signup process explaining the above. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, the majority of people I would like moderation turned on. People that I know have participated in the forums or beta testers we can allow around those restrictions.

barefootguru 67 Report post Posted March 6, 2018 I meant adding some text explaining you need to request access to edit the wiki. It's off-putting having your edits silently ignored, and people are used to wikis allowing changes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess I was just worried about spam. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nic Hubbard 645 Report post Posted March 6, 2018 Alright, I removed moderation. I would rather have everyone participate than worry about spam. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ACME WildCachers 15 Report post Posted March 6, 2018 Hopefully spam won't be an issue. But if it is, moderation for unknown users seems reasonable to me. If you do end up turning it back on, I wonder if there is a way to make it more apparent to the user what is going on. What I experienced this morning was quite jarring. After saving a change, I was taken back to the page with no sign of my change, and there was no message anywhere indicating the submission requires review before it will be published. I've got plenty of experience with unmoderated wikis from an editer's perspective, but I'm not sure what sort of control the installation package gives you over the messaging for a user who is being moderated.

From what I saw of the module it didn't have options for this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Team DEMP 120 Report post Posted March 6, 2018 So anyone can create an account, receive edit access and trash pages without any approval? Is that how it is setup now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
