[okfn-help] Locking pages on wiki.okfn.org

Thu Jul 14 13:11:31 UTC 2011

Ok, locking down needs to happen *NOW*.

Spammers are wiping entire pages off the wiki (main okfn). I just had
to restore the HowTos and this really is not an effective use of my
time.

@Nils - can we disable all edits by people who are not logged in and
limit account creation pending modification.

@Jonathan - I now +1 massively on using another system for the manual.
