Obviously we need to think about spam protection. The first thing i would like to enable is RevisionDelete to get permanently rid of the links. http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/RevisionDelete Is it possible to require a confirmed account before we allow editing with ichain? Or would that be some global thing for opensuse accounts? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

2) Why one would log in the wiki to read articles, when you can read it without login?
You don't need to actively log in, but if you are logged in into another opensuse site eg buildservice, hermes etc you get logged into the wiki automatically when visiting it. I think that happens more often then wiki edits and redirecting those users who just want to look up some documentation to the email validation page would annoy them. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

1) What is the context here? Was this on stage or production? Was it from the English or German wiki? No changes have been made on production yet, so I'm not sure what is going on. If there is a problem, I will need more detail.
Chrome, default browser, en.o.o as home page = German login Firefox, en.o.o as home page = English login For now no more details.
2) Who said that everyone had to log into the wiki? This change will have absolutely no effect on wiki visitors and subscribers. It will only affect editors who have not validated their email address.
OK
... When did it ever work like that? How was it enforced? If this was ever was the case, then it had changed a very long time ago.
Five years ago, when I wanted to edit wiki I got to validate my email first. So, it was as you are establishing now. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
