are you able to install extensions for MediaWiki?  if so, ParserFunctions (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ParserFunctions) and DPL (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:DPL) would be very useful :)

I'll take a look into that as soon as I can. Most likely tomorrow or Friday

I've added the ParserFunctions extension. I am not sure if I want to install DPL considering the major security risk notification on the top of the page.

Although I notice now there seems to be two kinds of DPL.. a third party one, and a wikimedia one. Did you mean the other one?

Hey Brian - Do you have permission from Sifteo to use the name in your address and the logo on your wiki? Before I contribute I want to be sure that the resource is viable long-term. If you didn't ask permission you might well expect a cease-and-desist for this confusing use of their marks.

Thanks Sarah! My cubes arrived today. I have Mono up and running. Off we go....

Adding captchas for user creation and page editing to try and prevent the spambots that have been hitting the wiki lately.

Well the captchas clearly did not work, so I have removed them and added some alternative security measures.

I could really use another sysop to help me keep an eye on the place. It's very easy and you can do it at your leisure, any takers?

No more anonymous editing, and users must confirm their emails before editing. Existing users, in order to edit again you have to confirm your email through "My Preferences". Sorry for the inconvenience.

If you're still looking for someone to help you keep an eye on the wiki I'd be wiling to.

Sounds good, do you have a username on it?

Yep, Foamyguy

I am somewhat new to editing on the wiki platform. I am trying to add tutorials. When I go to the tutorials page that has all of the links and hit Edit the only stuff in the edit box is unrelated to tutorials, it is something about installing windows 7. How do I edit the main list of tutorials so that I can add one?

Additionally where would be a good place to ask this kind of thing?

There was some spam left over there from when I had the wiki totally open. The reason you don't see the list when editing that page is because that part is actually generated by the pages that have the "[[Category: Tutorials]]" tag in them. What you are editing there is some text that goes above the list. The spam was commented out and hence did not show. Not sure what was up with that.

There is a lot of good information at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki. It would be good to familiarize yourself with some of the basics, especially editing and dealing with users & revisions.

I've been putting some more anti-spam features on the wiki and also cleaned up the thousands of spam users that were created on it. Unfortunately accounts that were created before the wiki required email authentication have been wiped. If you have been affected by this - apologies for the inconvenience of having to set up a new account.

Whoops.. I thought they were deleted but it turns out they weren't. The only accounts that were deleted were those who never got around to authenticating after I put the system in place.
