Hey, CSY - you've done a lot of edits to this wiki, I could use someone to help patrol for spammers and whatnot.  Do you mind helping out with admin work?  --rbos

Hello rbos, I've previously had experience with administrating another wiki. Therefore, I know how some of the '''sysop''' powers work, and would be glad to oversee the wiki's growth. --[[User:ChallengeSpaceYard|CSY]]

Cool, thanks. Let me know if there's any policy decisions to discuss. --rbos
I added the requirement for a valid email address in order to edit pages, and changed the registration question. --[[User:Rbos|Rbos]] 16:03, 18 September 2012 (UTC)


== E-mail requirement ==
:Nice one, rbos. Hopefully this will slow their advance. --[[User:ChallengeSpaceYard|CSY]] 18:53, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
hey, I set it to require a confirmed email address. Sucks, but maybe it'll help. Sorry I haven't been around much lately, Skyrim. :P --rbos


It may take a while before we get long-term effects. --[[User:ChallengeSpaceYard|CSY]] 23:12, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

Enabled FancyCaptcha instead of the broken one that wasn't even properly enabled. Not sure what I was smoking. Currently enabled for sysops too for testing. --rbos
You'll notice some weirdness - I'm moving stuff onto a new server, and mediawiki is getting dragged along with a minor upgrade. Hopefully doesn't break tooooo much but do let me know, rbos@novylen.net. [[User:Rbos|Rbos]] ([[User talk:Rbos|talk]]) 10:52, 25 May 2013 (PDT)


So far, so good. Hopefully we'll see less spam. I just tested a link to Planets 4 in the [[Sandbox]], with minor troubles. --[[User:ChallengeSpaceYard|CSY]] 09:15, 11 December 2011 (UTC)
:I see that the ship list tables are currently broken. I'll have to study the tables and see if I can convert them to the "wiki table" format, which is all well and good. --[[User:ChallengeSpaceYard|CSY]] ([[User talk:ChallengeSpaceYard|talk]]) 12:21, 25 May 2013 (PDT)


Also. Is it necessary to use the CAPTCHA on every edit? I normally see this tactic used when new external links are made. --[[User:ChallengeSpaceYard|CSY]] 09:20, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the signing tip. Also, I've set it to require captcha on create page, edits that add URL, createaccount, and badlogin. --[[User:Rbos|Rbos]] 18:12, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

Hi I would like to add a list of must have planets nu addon script to the main page, can you give me edit right ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by LordLancelot (talkcontribs) 19:55, 27 August 2014 (PDT)

Greetings Lord Lancelot,
