If we find that the vandals persistent enough to wait for their IP to change between making malicious edits, then we'll find another solution. _____ From: ste...@li...

ISPs like Verizon cycle a user's IP address very frequently.

As MediaWiki is currently configured, anyone can make an account. This defeats the point of only allowing valid users to edit. To plug this hole, open LocalSettings.php and add the line: $wgWhitelistAccount = array ( 'user' => 0, 'sysop' => 1, 'developer' => 1 ); This will prevent normal users and not-logged-in people from creating new accounts. If you want to make a new account, log in, then point your browser to http://www.stepmania.com/wiki/Special:Userlogin. That should do it. ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
