Are our wiki pages (either old UseMod or new MoinMoin) backed up regularly?
nope. Manually, every now and then. How lame is that, huh? Need to install a cronjob. Forgot about it several times now. Can someone please add an entry to jira?
Moin does store previous revisions of files (in the 'backup' folder alongside the 'text' folder), but not the latest revision. That, we can retrieve, in theory, from the change notifications. In practice, we had to do that when the avalon wiki was erronously wiped a while back, and it is a major headache which takes hours to figure out.
If someone with enoug priviledges runs an rm -Rf in the wrong place we've got a big problem.
Or maybe backed up somewhere like CVS? Is there something >we can do if someone maliciously edits a page and removes all content?
yes, if the edit is through the web, that is easy enough (though not enabled by default). The 'i' icon in the top right corner of each page gets you a page with a link to the revision info. Click on the 'view' of a revision, and replace 'action=recall' with 'action=raw'. You can copy-paste that content in the edit pane of the page to restore it.
I think a better description is in the Moin FAQ.
I don't think anyone has modded moin to automate that process, probably in part because...
UseMod kinda, MoinMoin, I'm not sure. In the longer run, Greg is working on a Subversion-based Wiki that would be a drop-in replacement for our Moin Moin Wiki Farm.
