All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XVII

[robkelk]

See all the vandalizm on the wiki? No? Good. I've already sent a thank-you to the sysop who caught and undid it.

I've also fully-protected a few templates: header, tropelist, franchisetropes, examples, trope, work, Just for Fun, Useful Notes, Mechanics of Writing, stub, workstub, ...

Since this isn't the first time we've had this sort of vandalism, I propose we set these permissions to Autoconfirmed users only:

• move: Move pages
  
• movefile: Move files
  
• move-categorypages: Move category pages
  
• move-rootuserpages: Move root user pages
  
• move-subpages: Move pages with their subpages
  
• reupload: Overwrite existing files
  
• reupload-own: Overwrite existing files uploaded by oneself
  
• reupload-shared: Override files on the shared media repository locally
  
• upload: Upload files
  

Replies here, please.

EDIT: I've just made those changes on the freebie wiki, except for "upload". (The freebie wiki's all about the pictures and links - can't block those there.) Let's see whether they help mitigate - or block - the next drive-by vandalism of Miraheze.

Well, nobody on the freebie wiki has complained (one non-admin even helped test the changes after I made a public request)... and somebody just made an account at ATT that has a userID that appears to be a random hexadecimal string. Call me paranoid if you want; I just made this change on ATT.
