Praxis
Linking praxis
- Links to Wikipedia occurring outside of {{Q}} and transcluded articles should bear the notice 'w:' i.e. [[w:Article name]].
Accounts are available by request
There was a problem with spammers registering accounts, so now accounts are available upon reasonable request.
Wiki configuration
The Ban Covert Modeling! wiki at https://wiki.ban-covert-modeling.org/wiki/ has the following configuration:
reCAPTCHA settings
reCAPTCHA settings for the server
$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;
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
“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.”
Autopromotion settings
Autopromotion settings for the server
$wgAutopromote = array( 'autoconfirmed' => array( '&', APCOND_EMAILCONFIRMED, array( APCOND_EDITCOUNT, 7 ), array( APCOND_AGE, 60*60 ), ), );
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
$wgEnableEmail = true;
Email is enabled. See mw:Manual:$wgEnableEmail for more info.$wgEnableUserEmail = true;
Emailing users with [[Special:EmailUser/Username]] is enabled if the user has verified his/her email address and has not disabled receiving mail via wiki. See mw:Manual:$wgEnableUserEmail for more info.$wgEnotifUserTalk = true;
Emailing notices about someone else having edited your talk page are enabled. See mw:Manual:$wgEnotifUserTalk for more info$wgEnotifWatchlist = true;
Email notices about someone editing a page on your Special:Watchlist are enabled. See mw:Manual:$wgEnotifWatchlist for more info.$wgEmailAuthentication = true;
Requirement to verify your email address is enabled. Without having a verified email address of the email functions only the sending new password via email will work. Also not verifying email address stops a user from being autopromoted to autoconfirmed-status. See mw:Manual:$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
$wgEnableScaryTransclusion = true;
is enabled and Special:Interwiki adjusted so that pages with the interwiki prefix 'wikipedia:' can be transcluded by writing {{wikipedia::Article name}}
