We already have that. People are not just randomly deleting stuff, adding random text -- no links! I've made you and Jonathan sysops so you can now more easily rollback stuff and protect pages. You can make others sysops/admins by visiting: <http://wiki.okfn.org/Special:UserRights> Re protecting pages see: <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Protecting_and_unprotecting_pages> Rufus _______________________________________________ okfn-help mailing list [email protected] http://lists.okfn.org/mailman/listinfo/okfn-help
