= Praxis =
== Linking praxis ==
# Links to Wikipedia occurring outside of <nowiki>{{Q}}</nowiki> and [[#Scary transclusion|transcluded]] articles should bear the notice 'w:' i.e. <font color="blue"><nowiki>[[w:Article name]]</nowiki></font>.

== Accounts are available by request ==

There was a problem with spammers registering accounts, so now accounts are [[Special:RequestAccount|available upon reasonable request]].

To get an account you need to perform the only the 4 following things

# Select an '''username'''
# Provide a '''valid email''' address (the other fields are optional)
# Pass the ReCAPTCHA once
# '''Verify your email''' After you have requested an account you will receive an email from ''s e r v i c e s ''@ stop-synthetic-filth.org asking you to click the link in the email to verify your email.

Requesters must verify their email by clicking the link or it will not show up in the account requests queue. 

Your account request will be processed. We will never sell or hand over your email addresses to 3rd parties.

The [[mw:Extension:ConfirmAccount]] settings are as follows:

<code>$wgMakeUserPageFromBio = false;</code>

<code>$wgAutoWelcomeNewUsers = false;</code>

<code>$wgConfirmAccountRequestFormItems = array(
        'UserName'        => array( 'enabled' => true ), # Your choice of user name
        'RealName'        => array( 'enabled' => false ), # Not asked, this would be a nice field to have, if it was possible to add it as an optional field
        'Biography'       => array( 'enabled' => false, 'minWords' => 50 ),
        'AreasOfInterest' => array( 'enabled' => false ),
        'CV'              => array( 'enabled' => false ),
        'Notes'           => array( 'enabled' => true ), # Optional / Can be blank - Any info you want to provide
        'Links'           => array( 'enabled' => true ), # Optional / Can be blank - Any info you want to provide
        'TermsOfService'  => array( 'enabled' => false ),
);
</code>

= Wiki configuration =
The Stop Synthetic Filth! wiki at https://stop-synthetic-filth.org/wiki/ has the following configuration:

== reCAPTCHA settings ==
=== reCAPTCHA settings for the server ===
<pre>
$wgGroupPermissions['*'            ]['skipcaptcha'] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['user'         ]['skipcaptcha'] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['autoconfirmed']['skipcaptcha'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['bot'          ]['skipcaptcha'] = true; // registered bots
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop'        ]['skipcaptcha'] = true;

$wgCaptchaTriggers['edit']          = true; 
$wgCaptchaTriggers['create']        = true; 
$wgCaptchaTriggers['addurl']        = true; 
$wgCaptchaTriggers['createaccount'] = true;
$wgCaptchaTriggers['badlogin']      = true;

</pre>


=== reCAPTCHA settings explained for humans ===
In human readable terms the reCAPTCHA settings are as follows:

# Anonymous users have to pass the captcha always
# Non-autoconfirmed users have to pass the captcha always
# Autoconfirmed users do not have to pass the CAPTCHA (See [[#Autopromotion settings explained for humans]] to figure out when you will be autoconfirmed)

----
== Autopromotion to skip CAPTCHA permanently praxis ==
{{Q|Make 7 edits, and when your account has existed for at least 1 hour and have clicked the "Verify my email"-link sent to verify possession of a valid email account and you can skip captcha permanently.|Juboxi|Current settings of the autopromotion}}

== Autopromotion settings ==
=== Autopromotion settings for the server ===
<pre>
$wgAutopromote = array(
        'autoconfirmed' => array(
                '&',
                APCOND_EMAILCONFIRMED,
                array( APCOND_EDITCOUNT, 7 ),
                array( APCOND_AGE, 60*60 ),
        ),
);
</pre>

=== Autopromotion settings explained for humans ===
In human readable terms:
# Users will be automatically promoted to autoconfirmed when '''all three''' conditions are met
## They have '''confirmed their email address''' by clicking on the confirmation link in the email sent by the system when registering an account
## They have made '''7 edits'''
## Their account has existed for '''at least one hour'''

These values may need to be adjusted in the future. The goal of these settings is to 
# Avoid spamming, vandals etc.
# To give genuine contributors ability to edit without needing to solve CAPTCHAs reasonably quickly

== Email settings ==
# <pre>$wgEnableEmail = true;</pre> Email is enabled. See [[mw:Manual:$wgEnableEmail]] for more info.
# <pre>$wgEnableUserEmail = true;</pre> Emailing users with <nowiki>[[Special:EmailUser/Username]]</nowiki> is enabled if the user has verified his/her email address and has not disabled receiving mail via wiki. See [[mw:Manual:$wgEnableUserEmail]] for more info.
# <pre>$wgEnotifUserTalk = true;</pre> Emailing notices about someone else having edited your talk page are enabled. See [[mw:Manual:$wgEnotifUserTalk]] for more info
# <pre>$wgEnotifWatchlist = true;</pre> Email notices about someone editing a page on your [[Special:Watchlist]] are enabled. See [[mw:Manual:$wgEnotifWatchlist]] for more info.
# <pre>$wgEmailAuthentication = true;</pre> Requirement to verify your email address is enabled. Without having a verified email address of the email functions only the sending new password via email will work. Also not verifying email address stops a user from being autopromoted to autoconfirmed-status. See [[mw:Manual:$wgEmailAuthentication]] for more info.

Email coming from this wiki is sent by ''s e r v i c e s (at) ban-covert-modeling.org'' and will show in the envelope that it is delivered by a mail server of Gandi.net.

== Scary transclusion ==
<code>$wgEnableScaryTransclusion = true;</code> is enabled and [[Special:Interwiki]] adjusted so that pages with the interwiki prefix 'wikipedia:' can be transcluded by writing <nowiki>{{wikipedia::Article name}}</nowiki>
