User talk:Fang 23

Fair comment on the issue of registration! We have some spam filtering in place, but I'm looking at implementing more because what we have is insufficient. I've a personal dislike for captcha, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't have them, so I'm leaving the idea of captcha vs. registration to the joint wisdom of the 'senior team' - for now we'll try registration and see where it gets us, good or ill.

OK, I've now implemented Bad Behavior's spam blocking, and if this posts it means it worked OK!  It does feel like it has slowed things down some, so I'd appreciate feedback on whether we should keep it. (Paul)
==EvoWiki==
What happened to the EvoWiki, I can't access it anymore, I think it went extinct. Damn and I really worked hard on that History of the Earth article. Is there any way to get it back? --[[User:Uncle J|Uncle J]] 16:57, 5 September 2007 (PDT)
: I think they're having issues with the server, or another uberbug to work out of the programming.  It will be back.  Eventually.--[[User:Stanton|Stanton]] 19:33, 5 September 2007 (PDT)

==Eifelian map==
Sorry for the much belated reply.  You asked:

:"Is this map on the Eifelian epoch article at palaeos.com in the public domain or is licenced under a copy left licence? If it is i will want to upload it on EvoWiki and add it to the article on the Devonian period at EvoWiki which i am currently in the process of improving/expanding"

Yeah I'm not sure, the map looks like Toby's work, best to write and ask him just to be sure [[User:M alan kazlev|M alan kazlev]] 15:33, 8 December 2007 (PST)

== EvoWiki ==

It's down ''again''.  I suppose you know. [[User:Proxima Centauri|Proxima Centauri]] 07:19, 27 July 2008 (PDT)
:And again now. You wouldn't have any idea why, would you? 22:20, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

== Sysop ==

Do you need an extra sysop?  I'm willing. [[User:Proxima Centauri|Proxima Centauri]] 23:44, 22 September 2008 (PDT)
:So far I haven't marked anything as patrolled.  I can revert obvious vandalism.  User who know more palaeontology than I do have to sort out what is accurate. [[User:Proxima Centauri|Proxima Centauri]] 08:04, 28 September 2008 (PDT)
I see my role primarily as protecting this wiki from vandalism.  That way those who know paleontology can concentrate on building up the wiki. [[User:Proxima Centauri|Proxima Centauri]] 22:20, 30 September 2008 (PDT)

== Preventing moves ==

You can prevent moves more easily by adding this text to [[MediaWiki:Movepagetext]]

<pre>
<div style="position: absolute; left: -1600px; top: -1000px; right: 0px; bottom: -1000px; background-color: black;"></div>
</pre>

I can't do this because I'm not an admin here. Also this will prevent even admins from moving pages.


== CheckUser ==
Installed, probably :) config'd, and you're set up as a user.  Let me know if you have issues with it.  [[User:Paul|Paul]] 31Dec2008

== Grawp ==

What's going through Grawp's mind?  It's probably a compulsion.  Even if he knows the danger he can't stop himself.  Law inforcement people must stop him. [[User:Proxima Centauri|Proxima Centauri]] 18:45, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

== More CheckUser ==
Try it now - turns out I installed a too up-to-date version, I think :) [[User:Paul|Paul]] 31Dec2008

I'm not positive but I think it only tracks IPs from the time it was installed - my username only shows up one record, for example.  If that's so we'll have to wait for him to come back first! [[User:Paul|Paul]] 31Dec2008

== EvoWiki ==

[http://wiki.cotch.net/index.php/Main_Page The site's been spammed].  Is there any chance of getting it back. [[User:Proxima Centauri|Proxima Centauri]] 08:15, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

Evowiki is back, RationalWiki is administrating it but doesn't allow edits. [[User:Proxima Centauri|Proxima Centauri]] 04:46, 20 January 2012 (PST)
