The wiki has now been upgraded and I believe it's working correctly, though the upload permissions are locked down for the time being due to some recent security issues - if anyone wants to upload anything please contact me.

The main problem is that I can't seem to get any non-default themes to work correctly so we're stuck with the rather ugly default "Vector" theme for the time being.

Currently get a 404 on http://ukbouldering.com/wiki that is linked from the top of the page.

I get a list of the wiki highlights but when I try to go into any topic get the following
Not FoundThe requested URL /wiki was not found on this server.Apache/2.4.7 (Ubuntu) Server at ukbouldering.com Port 80

The Wiki highlights are part of the forum.

Not FoundThe requested URL /wiki was not found on this server.Apache/2.4.7 (Ubuntu) Server at ukbouldering.com Port 80

Thats the 404 error I mentioned.

The Wiki hasn't been reinstated yet pending a few security fixes (via Bubba on Twatter a week or so ago).  The data hasn't been lost though and it will return.

OK, the wiki is sort of working again ...

It seems to be being inundated by bots writing nonce sense/spam if the Recent Changes in the last two days are anything to go by.

Might be worthwhile disabling all editing and/or taking it off-line until its been secured to avoid having to undo a load of crap.

[ukb]

Fuck. Thanks.

[ukb]

Taken the wiki off-line again. Various problems, and no time available to resolve right now.

[fatneck]

Any movement on this mods?

[slackline]

Sorry, no. Is there anything in particular that you wanted to access?

Cream of the crop access would be nice

Thanks for this. It appears I have been able to make minor changes so assume you have not locked it down yet? I would like the option to edit in future so will PM as advised... Thanks

I'd quite like to be able to keep the easy Font stuff up to date. I still haven't finished the first draft. I don't mind either having a password or just forwarding the stuff to Slackers.

[Will Hunt]

I don't particularly want change access but I thought this list would be good to include

Yeah, no problem. It'll take me a couple of weeks as I have family here for the next week or so. If it hasnt been done by the end of March, give me a prod.

I can edit the wikia. I added the above stuff in as a test. I'll tidy it up a bit when I've got a moment.

just forwarding the stuff to Slackers.

Sorry I've insufficient time to have stuff forwarded to me to put on the Wiki.

It would kind of defeat the object of having a Wiki which anyone (whose account has permissions) can contribute to.  They are community generated (and maintained) resources and not the responsibility of individuals, although obviously administration falls to one person, in this case habrich.

Great, thanks for doing that fried.

I'd started writing that reply before you'd posted that you'd done it though.  I was annoyingly distracted by work though which is why it appears I'd ignored your post.


The point still stands, Wikis work when everyone contributes to them rather than expecting others to do the leg work.  Would Wikipedia be the resource it is today if everybody emailed Jimmy Wales the content for him to add?  No it wouldn't.

It would be great to see the UKBWiki utilised more, theres a fair bit of information on there but the same questions get asked repeatedly in the forums, despite the effort others have gone to writing cogent articles on training, injuries and venues.  Part of the reason for this is lack of awareness, most people will miss the small bit of text at the top of each page, but in contrast plastering "THERE IS A WIKI" in the header would be obtrusive, not sure how to improve this situation really.  I used to point people at the "How to Embed Images" page when they were having trouble but that doesn't really help new people since the struggle first then get pointed at to the information.  No real idea on how to change this situation, but I'll continue to add information to the "Venues" section as and when it becomes available and my time permits.

I think that very few people are going to ask for editing rights and the wiki will sadly die out. I only remembered that I hadn't finished updating it because you occassionally link to it.

  And my reading-between-the-lines-challenged friend I wasn't seriously expecting everyone to email you and you do the updates! I do know what a wiki is. (and other icons which convey a bit of light-hearted inoffensive banter)

Unfortunately I think you're right

But once something has been said and posted on a forum they can take on a life of their own and I wanted to avoid that.

I also failed to see the humor/teasing in your post.

It just spreads chaos & confusion anyway. The "20/10s" in the wiki that Shark says are the best thing he's ever done for endurance are not the same as the "20/10s" in Tommy's recent Wild Country vid. So now I'm confused, and at risk of either wasting sessions, or not wasting sessions but having a nagging suspicion that I might have    I wish I'd never read the bloody thing 


(Shark's sound harder: 20 moves rather than 20 seconds. I don't get anywhere near 20 moves in 20 seconds at my sloth-like climbing pace. This may be part of the problem)

[slackline]

Pffft! You encourage me to do the work to keep the thing alive then tell us it is dying anyway! 

More a guess as to what might happen in the future, I would love to be proven wrong and see it grow as a resource that people keep on going back to.

Sounds like you need to edit the Wiki and make the distinction between the two ;-)
