There are a couple of pages which control who is able to do what in this wiki. The exact rights are:

* Members of the '''[[Page Deletor Group|PageDeletorGroup]]''' can read, write, revert, and delete normal pages.
# '''Wiki admins''' (listed [[Page_Deletor_Group|here]]) can read, write, revert, and delete normal pages.
<ul><li style="list-style-type:none">Page deletors must be very careful to ''never rename [[WikiDocs Page|WikiDocsPage]]<code><nowiki></nowiki></code>s''!
</ul>
* Members of the '''[[Moin Pages Editor Group|MoinPagesEditorGroup]]''' can read, write, revert, and delete special [[MoinMoin:SystemPages|SystemPages]].
* Members or the [[Admin Group|AdminGroup]] can read, write, revert, and delete ''all'' pages. Additionally they can change ACLs (see [[MoinMoin:HelpOnAccessControlLists|HelpOnAccessControlLists]]) and edit special pages, like
** [[Page Deletor Group|PageDeletorGroup]]
** [[Moin Pages Editor Group|MoinPagesEditorGroup]]
** [[Admin Group|AdminGroup]]

These rights are defined like so:

<pre>acl_rights_before = 'AdminGroup:read,write,revert,delete,admin'
acl_rights_default = 'PageDeletorGroup:read,write,revert,delete Known:read,write,revert All:read,write'
</pre>

Note that deleting a page is not a dangerous thing. It can be reverted quickly. However, ''renaming'' a page can destroy a transcluded [[WikiDocs]] page ([[Dont Rename Wiki Docs Pages|DontRenameWikiDocsPages]]!). Since [[Moin Moin|MoinMoin]] has no special "rename" right (renaming requires read, write, and delete), we are ''very'' reluctant to give out delete rights.

==Status of the Wiki==

We ported the wiki to a [[Moin Moin|MoinMoin]] wiki-engine. See [[Moin Moin Wiki Syntax|MoinMoinWikiSyntax]] for changes to the old [[Use Mod|UseMod]] syntax. Also you will have to register again with your old [[Wiki Name|WikiName]].


==Wiki History==
This wiki is a permanent WIP (work in progress). The project to [[Restructure The Wiki|RestructureTheWiki]] is largely complete and we are now [[Restructuring The Documentation|RestructuringTheDocumentation]]. There is information on the [[Status Of This Wiki|StatusOfThisWiki]] to tell you which parts are stable and which are "in progress". Things will probaly get worse during the time we implement [[WikiDocs]].


This wiki originally used [http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/wiki.pl UseModWiki], it was changed to [http://moinmo.in/ MoinMoin] in July of 2005, and subsequently to [http://www.mediawiki.org MediaWiki] in March of 2009.
When editing this wiki please stick to [[Good Wiki Style|GoodWikiStyle]]. You can also use the [[Sand Box|SandBox]] (or the other [[Sandbox]]) if you just want to test the [[Moin Moin Wiki Syntax|MoinMoinWikiSyntax]].
