EndMyopia Wiki: Launched!

Thanks to everyone who has done a terrific job on getting the wiki up to scratch. Definitely a team effort, and I think it's paid off quite nicely. Always more to be done, but the basics look pretty taken care of. Wiki's looking good. We're on the front page of the main site, it's been promoted in Facebook and there should be a video coming out at some point.

Admin specific: the next two to four weeks will be a good barometer of how much vandalism can be expected over time, and whether things need to be changed or not. I'm heavily in favour of keeping it 'create an account, make an edit', but if need be there can be additional restrictions.

Try to check in on Special:RecentChanges every once in a while to see if anything unsavoury is happening. I might be overestimating the amount of vandalism we'll get, we must wait and see. Don't be afraid to block users if necessary.

Help:Pictures

Suggest you make $wgAllowExternalImages false. Image hosts can and not infrequently do, convert all linked images to ads, porn or worse. It's only one line of config code for a host to replace all incoming links with a different image. Viceroy Sam (talk) 09:57, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

@Viceroy Sam: Pending Okay, will do. I have rough concerns in how it can be abused for sure. -NottNott (talk) 10:07, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

Page footer

The page footer on this wiki wants to be stonger worded. Maybe like the Wikipedia footer "By using this site, you agree to the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy". Viceroy Sam (talk) 14:51, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

@Viceroy Sam:  Doneish, no preamble, but hard links to the things where there were originally none. -NottNott (talk) 17:21, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
Excellent fast work. Could Terms of Use be added to the mobile footer. Viceroy Sam (talk) 22:44, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

Edit

Overreaction much?? Viceroy Sam (talk) 16:01, 5 June 2021 (UTC)

@Viceroy Sam: Oh yeah just realised that stops the writing system lol. Okay will undo that and fix the abuse filter instead. -NottNott (talk) 16:28, 5 June 2021 (UTC)
