Moderator for the wiki

Post by Jeroen »

Hi

I've cleared 10 pages with spam on the wiki, I can't delete them.
It's probably better to delete the pages and the users that created them.
Is anyone moderator on the wiki?

There none at the present time, but I usually spot and delete spammers quickly. Global moderator can't delete users in PHPBB so that why I've always took care of that.

But that's on the forum, what I meant was the wiki.
If you look at the orphaned pages, http://uzebox.org/wiki/index.php?title= ... onelyPages , you see some spam pages still exist.
If you need a moderator to clean up the wiki from spam pages and delete the users who created them, I'm willing to do so.
It's probably a good idea to also try to make the list of orphaned pages as short as possible by removing duplicate pages like Uzebox-based Projects and UzeboxBasedProjects and only have one page that is referenced by some other page so that you don't get version differences and all info can by found without the search option.

Oh, and if you want to have a list of cleaning actions I can keep that on my user page if you like.

Oh, right the wiki...sorry! I'm not too familiar on how to give such privileges in mediawiki, but I'll assign you as a moderator as soon as I find out.

Hey Jeroen,

Seems only member of the Admin group can delete pages. For the moment I prefer to not add more people as admins. I look and periodically delete spam pages. As for the orphaned page, I'll try to do a cleanup soon. To wiki contributor go see the wiki page if you could link them back to some other pages, or marked them specifically for delete.
