Bug #: 33905
Summary: Contact Info Specialpage established on installation
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.19-svn
Platform: All
URL: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.science.linguistics.wik
ipedia.technical/58419
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Installation
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
I think the config scripts should drive home how important it is to make
sure users can contact the owner, with plenty of fields for such
information, etc. and a Special Page called Contact where that stuff
gets stored. Important things not to forget for non WMF sites!
There should be extensive questions, name, phone #, email, night time tech
staff contact, address, office room #,
and reminders of how so many wikis ended in disaster because their owners
couldn't be contacted, and the plug got pulled etc.
Think you're cool but then when your wiki becomes a spam vector and nobody can
contact you -- until you find out you have been ...
The (Staff, owner, "") Contact Special page should also maybe be linked from
the footer of every page.
