[datacatalogs] Problem with search on datacatalogs.org

Wed Oct 3 19:10:26 UTC 2012

As an anonymous user, if I go to http://datacatalogs.org/catalog/edit/the-data-hub, then "Url" field is hidden with "display: none;" but that doesn't fool a spambot.

I manually entered "yes-this-is-a-bug" into that field and saved, and LO AND BEHOLD the catalog page is now:

http://datacatalogs.org/catalog/yes-this-is-a-bug

And http://datacatalogs.org/catalog/the-data-hub 404s. Please fix.
