<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"><html><head><meta content="text/html;charset=UTF-8" http-equiv="Content-Type"></head><body ><P>Dear Team,</P>
<P>I am the maintainer of the <SPAN>Wiki</SPAN> on <SPAN>vtiger</SPAN> Site.</P>
<P>The idea behind <SPAN>Wiki</SPAN> is community share their knowledge among themselves and write useful content for the benefit of other users. Off late, it is misused by some of the <SPAN>spammers</SPAN>.</P>
<P>Keeping this in <SPAN>mind</SPAN> I have locked some of the regularly visited pages so that people looking for needed <SPAN>info</SPAN> shouldn't affected by <SPAN>spammers</SPAN>. <SPAN>In fact</SPAN> I have created most of the content and updating periodically during releases.</P>
<P> <STRONG><SPAN>Mike</SPAN> <SPAN>Fedyk</SPAN>:</STRONG> I think we need moderation for <SPAN>wiki</SPAN> and forum accounts.</P>
<P><SPAN>Gopal</SPAN>: Currently all guest posts on Forums are moderated. Time to time I am cleaning unlocked <SPAN>Spam</SPAN> pages. We need some better system, <SPAN>weher</SPAN> only registered users only can write content. In fact I have seen may <SPAN>spam</SPAN> users registered in <SPAN>Wiki</SPAN>. </P>
<P><!--StartFragment --><STRONG><SPAN>Mike</SPAN> <SPAN>Fedyk</SPAN>:</STRONG> <SPAN>Richie</SPAN>, I need access to the locked <SPAN>wiki</SPAN> pages.</P>
<P><SPAN>Gopal</SPAN>: I will let you know personally, once I unlocked the pages. Please contact me at <SPAN>skype</SPAN>: <SPAN>sripadag</SPAN> or <SPAN>gopals</SPAN> (at) <SPAN>vtiger.com</SPAN></P>
<P><!--StartFragment --><STRONG><SPAN>Mike</SPAN> <SPAN>Fedyk</SPAN>:</STRONG> What <SPAN>wiki</SPAN> are we using now?<BR><BR>All of the <SPAN>wiki</SPAN> help pages are blank. Is it <SPAN>mediawiki</SPAN>? When changing <BR>formatting, all of the <SPAN>mediawiki</SPAN> formatting worked as described in <BR><SPAN>wikipedia</SPAN>.</P>
<P><SPAN>Gopal</SPAN>: Yes we are using <SPAN>mediawiki</SPAN>. I have to upgrade to latest version.</P>
<P><!--StartFragment --><!--StartFragment --><STRONG><SPAN>Mike</SPAN> <SPAN>Lieman</SPAN>:</STRONG> The real question is: Once we revert it, how do we prevent it?</P>
<P>Gopal: We can allow only registered users to write the content. But the <SPAN>spammers</SPAN> register as users in <SPAN>Wiki</SPAN> and do all the evils. Even <SPAN>Wikipedia</SPAN> is not spared.</P>
<P><!--StartFragment --><STRONG><SPAN>vtigercrmFrance</SPAN>:</STRONG> A plug-in <SPAN>phpbb</SPAN> exist for <SPAN>mediawiki</SPAN>.<BR>This plug-in <SPAN>sync</SPAN> <SPAN>phpbb</SPAN> account with <SPAN>mediawiki</SPAN> account.<BR>If you use it, and only allow edit for registered user, you have no <SPAN>spam</SPAN>.<BR>We use it on <SPAN>vtigercrmfrance.org</SPAN> <SPAN>wiki</SPAN>, we have no <SPAN>spam</SPAN>.<BR>URL : <A class=moz-txt-link-freetext href="http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/PHPBB/Users_Integration"><SPAN>http</SPAN>://<SPAN>meta.wikimedia.org</SPAN>/<SPAN>wiki</SPAN>/PHPBB/<SPAN>Users_Integration</SPAN></A></P>
<P><STRONG><SPAN>Gopal</SPAN>:</STRONG> Yes, there is a <SPAN>pluign</SPAN> <SPAN>exisits</SPAN>, but it works on 1.5.x and above. First I have to upgrade our <SPAN>Wiki</SPAN>. I think you have already implemented in <SPAN>vtigercrmfrance</SPAN> <SPAN>wiki</SPAN>. I will discuss with you in upgrading the existing <SPAN>WIki</SPAN> setup. </P>
<P>Team, I welcome all your suggestions on improving the quality of <SPAN>Wiki</SPAN> service, so that we can create a better <SPAN>centralized</SPAN> help system for the <SPAN>vtiger</SPAN> community.</P>
<P>Best Regards,</P>
