You mean one doesn't need to register to edit the wiki? That just seems like a good sense precaution.

:zomg: :zomg:

Just... wow.

Do people seriously edit the wiki that many times or is it like a computer program??????????

Holy mot... yeah... shoot a PM to Entropy? Unless Blahs or Righty can do that. O_o

they decided not to make people register to edit the wiki a long time ago because there were unregistered users really adding stuff to it and someone registered just to say they shouldn't...


here's the thread where it was mentioned before:

You'll be surprised how having to register deters opportunistic mass spammers. Registering doesn't take a lot of effort if you do want to contribute. Cynical as I am, I should also point out that most people who register output contribution that are both higher in quantity and quality.

The best way to iron out such spam is to require random image verification for inclusion of external links, but I have been told that this would not be implemented. The next best way is to place a global ban on the creation of new pages by unregistered users. This is not something soft admins can do. I don't have the time to click through all those new pages created this time.

I think Rightey had sent a PM to Entropy about this~

even wikipeadia needs you to log in to edit,change this admins.:smarty::smarty::smarty::smarty::smarty:

o_O wikipedia changed to that? when?

Wow that...seems very frustrating D:
