Author Topic: To the Gentleman that deleted the Wiki... (Read 6950 times)

Well, I sure as hell hope you feel like more of a man for deleting an open wiki: a wiki that was kept open and unlocked for the entire dp community.

I can't even call you a hacker or a script kiddie, just an idiot.

Did it make you feel good? jsut a few keystrokes to remove work that wasn't secure? I personally spent hours working on server and client side comamnd as well as put together DT's version of mapping.

To Jit:
I know that you are currently away, but it's time to secure the wiki so this doesn't happen again.

This really is a shame.

This is exactly why I haven't "gone public" with the wiki yet. It's simply not ready (thus the "testwiki" directory). Automatic backups were implemented a little while ago, so nothing should be completely lost. I just have to go through and restore everything. Unfortunately IP logging was not functioning properly, so I can't identify who vandalized the wiki. I've fixed it now, so if anybody does this again, we'll be able to identify him. Unfortunately "securing it" isn't a trivial task or it would have been done a while back. I'm going to try to tie it into the global login, though. But that may not be for a little while.

Can you do a full lockdown and use a small access list for thsoe of us that stil lwant to edit/work on entries?

Jitspoe, you can read apache's httpd-access.log, it would be in there, just search it for "POST"s to the wiki.

I don't have access to it. The wiki is hosted with gamespy.

huh?

he added it to the wiki maybe.

And Jits, aight, didn't realize that, might be a good idea to host it on dpball.com while its still beta though?

That's a real shame.

At the time I started, dpball.com was having issues. I don't know that it really matters where it's hosted.

This is kinda off-topic, but on wikipedia, Paintball 2 is listed under 'Free First Person Shooters', but there's no entry for it. Some people should make one.

This article is being considered for deletion in accordance with Wikipedia's deletion policy.

Good work so far

Cobo · « **Reply #18 on:** August 08, 2006, 09:57:27 PM »

I know... hopefully when the article is more complete they will move it to the games category... if they dont delete it first..

Eiii · « **Reply #19 on:** August 08, 2006, 10:37:56 PM »

It's being considered for deletion because someone doesn't think the game is well-known enough.

EDIT: Um, cobo, you completely confused the autococker and automag. I'm not a fan of your work.
