Anti-spam extension
You might want to try ConfirmEdit, which only nags for suspicious edits so frequent editors wouldn't be troubled by it. --Blob 22:07, 3 February 2011 (GMT)


 * It's captcha. We already have recaptcha on signups, so if they're getting past it once, a second time won't be am issue.
 * Additioanlly, I don't manage the server side of the wiki - Thrasher7 deals with that.

 * Has there been a big upsurge in bots in the last few days? I've seen websites which use non-standard Captchas to much better effect than standard ones -- such as "Please type in Orange", with a Captcha Image which says: "cheese". 85.71.121.169 18:16, 20 November 2011 (GMT)

Hi, I just wanted to let you know, that I have deleted SPAM content, see "SPAM!" in line summary on "Recent changes". --[Anonymous user]

Embedded
Is it possible to rename the category "Embedded" into "Embedded Systems". I think the name "Embedded" is not enough. There are only two members of the Category "Embedded". I would do the simple changes. Jkes

Hi, from spanish wiki
Firts, sorry for my bad english.

Hello, I'm a new member, since I have had to return register again. Probably you don't remember of couse, I was in es.gentoo-wiki.com working in it. Until it was not possible to go. Though I was active in the mail list, when I returned to put on the right lines the wiki, since I did not have news, but saw that the wiki already was going with a course.

I am writing some things, and have seen that it is necessary to have for a time, to add the languages that're absent, and the adminis have to do it, but thereabouts nobody appears. I'm with a young enthusiasts group that I believe, I them can filter to editors. Can I recover my privileges? if have any registry my PublicPGPkeyID is 0xB3B41215 es:Usuario:.xAk. pls

 * Please talk to User:Mikevalstar (Thrasher7 on IRC). He's the wiki owner and has admin on all the wikis. I only have admin rights on the English wiki. so can't help you.

 * I'm not an IRC friend. I'm going to go there. Thanks --AnimAlf 17:38, 9 July 2011 (GMT)

syslinux delete
Well, I recreate the page with only my writing, as I am the original writer, all the other ones are trivial and should not have been added anyway. Thanks --Alonbl 20:29, 22 November 2011 (GMT)

Or maybe you just don't want dups with wiki.gentoo. What I am going to do is to finally create linkage between all pages, so it is good to have all. --Alonbl 20:32, 22 November 2011 (GMT)

Categories of user pages
Hello,

I understand why duplicates may not be suitable for categorization (the intel split).

However, custom setups can have view variants, each one has value, so for example User:Alonbl/Linux_Configuration_ASRock_Core_100HT is totally about hardware, but specific to user configuration.


 * Pages held under a users namespace are considered to be not part of the wiki in general - for a users own referenced. Thus they shouldn't be listed in any indexes or categories. It's not that it's a duplicate article, it's that it's under your user namespace.
 * --AllenJB 07:38, 29 November 2011 (GMT)


 * So what is the suitable place for (example) User:Alonbl/Linux_Configuration_ASRock_Core_100HT in your opinion? --Alon Bar-Lev 07:41, 29 November 2011 (GMT)


 * The article can remain in your userspace, but as long as it does so cannot appear in any indexes or categories. If you move it outside of the user namespace, it'll be considered part of the general wiki and can be indexed / categorize but will also be free for anyone to edit including nomination for deletion. Articles kept under userspace are generally considered to be either not useful to others or under development.
 * --AllenJB 07:47, 29 November 2011 (GMT)


 * I want this be out of user name space, this is tree like structure:

COMMON /   |  \       Server W500 HTC


 * If I move one of the leaf I need to move all, or duplicate much of configuration into articles, this what I don't like in current gentoo-wiki state.
 * I thought about something like "Success Stories" category where users may put a complete setup of their own.
 * What do you think? --Alon Bar-Lev 10:01, 29 November 2011 (GMT)

Images
You will have much easier job if you simply send me a message with what you wish and I make the changes... Once I understand what you want...

Please explain the license issue of images, I did not find a place to specify it, the combobox does not allow this.

See: Licensing: "None selected"

--Alon Bar-Lev 07:41, 29 November 2011 (GMT)


 * Images, like all other content on the wiki must obey the license for wiki content. If I believe an image is most likely a photo or screenshot taken by the uploader, I'll generally ignore it, but otherwise all images must have information on where they came from and what license they are under. This can be specified in the file description.
 * --AllenJB 07:49, 29 November 2011 (GMT)


 * Where do I specify the license? The combo is empty, in description? --Alon Bar-Lev 09:55, 29 November 2011 (GMT)
