Namespaces

  • Transwiki = NS 3010
  • Author = NS 3100
  • Index = NS 3200
  • Page = NS 3210
  • Meta namespace (NS 4) was called Doug's Wiki: and then dougswiki: but is now called Project:, dougswiki: remains a valid alias
  • No other namespaces currently have aliases

I set the numbers for the custom namespaces really high to avoid any conflicts should I later decide to add Semantic MediaWiki or simply add namespaces that normally aren't used on the same wiki other places. Transwiki does not have a talk space declared.

User rights

  • Sysops have extended rights here
  • A special user group "Librarians" exists with general rights including delete, import, and upload_by_url

  • Registered users have no rights to edit until they both confirm their e-mail address and send me an e-mail asking for confirmed status
  • IPs have no editing rights

If you wonder why the editing restrictions are so tight, look at the name of the wiki - I do not have time to deal with vandals and spam, so I won't
