The MusicBrainz Wiki

The MusicBrainzWiki is located at http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/.

When WikiDocs will be implemented you will be able to view the content of this page on the MusicBrainzWebSite without being in the wiki. See WikiDocs for more details.



Status of the Wiki

We ported the wiki to a MoinMoin wiki-engine. See MoinMoinWikiSyntax for changes to the old UseMod syntax. Also you will have to register again with your old WikiName.

This wiki is a permanent WIP (work in progress). The project to RestructureTheWiki is largely complete and we are now RestructuringTheDocumentation. There is information on the StatusOfThisWiki to tell you which parts are stable and which are "in progress". Things will probaly get worse during the time we implement WikiDocs.

When editing this wiki please stick to GoodWikiStyle. You can also use the SandBox (or the other Sandbox) if you just want to test the MoinMoinWikiSyntax.

Wiki Administration

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

Current Rights

    acl_rights_before = 'AdminGroup:read,write,revert,delete,admin'
    acl_rights_default = 'MoinPagesEditorGroup:read,write,revert,delete Known:read,write,revert All:read,write'

New Rights

Note that deleting a page is not a dnagerous thing. It can be reverted quickly. However, renaming a page can destroy a transcluded WikiDocs page. Since MoinMoin has no special "rename" right (renaming requires read, write, and delete), I am very reluctant to give out delete rights. --DonRedman

  • Everybody can read and write normal pages.
  • Logged in users can read, write, and revert normal pages.
  • Members of the PageDeletorGroup can read, write, revert, and delete normal pages.
  • Page deletors must be very careful to never rename WikiDocsPages!

These rights should be defined like so (this needs reviewig and double checking):

acl_rights_before = 'AdminGroup:read,write,revert,delete,admin'
acl_rights_default = 'PageDeletorGroup:read,write,revert,delete Known:read,write,revert All:read,write'
