jaywink anyone else noticed the w3c wiki being overrun by spam? :P https://www.w3.org/wiki/Special:RecentChanges
#
aaronpk omg
#
aaronpk someone must have enabled anonymous user creation
#
aaronpk holy crap that's gonna be a lot of work to clean up
#
aaronpk the main page was moved a bunch of times
#
jaywink maybe they can just restore a daily backup or something, but yeah, bit of a mess :(
#
ben_thatmustbeme looks like its getting cleaned up
#
aaronpk yep they're on it
#
ben_thatmustbeme actually, i can't log in to the wiki right now
#
ben_thatmustbeme tried a password reset even, and it just always says its incorrect
#
aaronpk it takes a few minutes after a password reset before the wiki is aware of it
#
ben_thatmustbeme ahh.... also thats a LOT more than i thought. just the categories in here says it all https://www.w3.org/wiki/Special:AllPages
#
aaronpk oh jeez haha. yeah it was up to dozens of edits per minute for a while there
#
ben_thatmustbeme i just went to try to find the main page, and it was moved, over and over and over again
#
ben_thatmustbeme so you have to trace through it all to find the page
#
aaronpk yup lol
#
aaronpk poor wiki
#
ben_thatmustbeme yep, still can't log in, i'm guessing they locked it
#
aaronpk that might have been an accident
#
ben_thatmustbeme i'll wait until they get things in order and try again then
#
aaronpk i imagine this is not a fun process right now
#
ben_thatmustbeme indeed
#
ben_thatmustbeme i would be willing to help, but i'm pretty sure its better off not doing anything and waiting for them to figure out all the roll backs themselves
#
ben_thatmustbeme not compound the issue
#
aaronpk you can join #sysreq if you want to offer
#
aaronpk and yes confirmed that wiki logins are intentionally blocked right now

#

#
