Would be nice to see here a BreadCrumb with external links to all DreamHosts web services such as Main : Cpanel : Wiki : Blog : Forums : KB --Techtonik 07:16, 29 Oct 2005 (PDT)

Rules
Before you get carried away, I think it would be a good idea to establish certain rules about how this reorganization, and then any subsequent editing, is done. In fact, I would prefer to see no reorganization of any kind until these rules have been established. I would begin with working out the following:
 * 1) Naming Conventions - This would need to cover object, article, category, and subcategory naming.
 * 2) Nomenclature - How to categorize and subcategorize.
 * 3) Roadmap - I think that we need to establish a roadmap for reorganization, and even an order of reorganization.

I recommend we begin by creating our own village pump similar to wikipedia's. What does anyone else think? -- Scjessey 05:02, 11 Feb 2006 (PST)

Since there is one now, sort of, we should point to it. -- Pseudomonad 08:32, 8 Jun 2006 (PDT)

MediaWiki
You're running a pretty old version of MediaWiki here. You should really consider upgrading to either the latest stable 1.4.x or the latest 1.6.x just for the security fixes. Dori 17:34, 1 Jun 2006 (PDT)

No Kidding, this place is getting jammed full of spam and spam users. Fix it!! Mrsdonovan (talk) 15:37, 18 September 2012 (PDT)
 * The best way to fix that is to use mw:Extension:Asirra. It is an extremely effective anti-spam tool. However, I would warn the DreamHost sysadmins to verify that the extension is working properly, because every wiki I've ever seen that tried to use that extension ran into a problem of it also rejecting users who got the CAPTCHA right. You have to keep playing around with the configuration until you get it to work properly. I somehow got it to work on all my wikis, although I'm not sure how.


 * It's also important to set up the configuration settings properly. E.g., it should be configured to require a CAPTCHA for new account creation, so we don't get all these spam new accounts. Nathan Larson (talk) 05:42, 22 September 2012 (PDT)
