I thought you did need a login currently to edit, but anyone can create a login. I'm currently on I-15 heading out for the weekend but I can look at the wiki config next week.

I think there might be a switch somewhere to force users to log in before editing (there is a login option now). I don't remember if I was ever given the adminstrator password or if it is even something that can be done from the wiki..

I think at the very least we should have log messages sent to someone when edits happen.

It looks like our manta wiki was the target of advertising bot--a large number of hidden links were added to the end of the first entry (perhaps to increase a page rank).

Is it possible to require a login in order to edit the wiki? I cleaned up the mess.

Thanks-

Abe
