<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. |

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]]. |

This wiki is a permanent WIP (work in progress).

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]]. |
