How to disown a Wikka page

How do I Disown the Wikka HD Install page?

When I was editing it yesterday, I clicked on 'Own this page', to see what it was, and now I own it.

It seems that owning a page on an open source community project, is sort of against the spirit of the thing.

Mechsus, I edited (formatting) the page this am, but there is a little bit yet to go.

Me too. I was up for quite a few hours too. I thought there were too many colours so I toned it down and added emphasis (bold) where appropriate.

I was thinking of adding another How-To below, that shows how to install over a partitioned Tindows XP install - but I don't know if there's enough difference to justify the bandwidth. Maybe just a few notes pointing out the differences.

Go to a page you own and click on Edit ACL (bottom of page)

Ownership is like a guardian or facilitator.
Most pages are open to edit - if we experienced any probs we can temporarily restrict writing to a page

A lot of pages are still open for ownership
I own loads of pages and I could put them back into public ownership I suppose. It is no big deal either way . . .

Syntax:

* = Everyone
+ = Registered users
Or enter individual user WikiNames, one per line
--------------------------------------
Note: Any of these items can be negated with a !
!* = No one
!+ = Anonymous users
!JohnDoe = JohnDoe will be denied access.

Be aware that the ACLs are tested in the order specified.
So be sure to specify * on a separate line
after negating any users--not before.
Otherwise, the * everyone condition will always give access
before the list of users that should not have access is tested.

If people are free to edit the page, then I don't have a problem with owning it. I assumed ownership included exclusive editorial rights.

The one thing that I noticed is that some of the text is in camel case, so that if one clicks that name, then it creates a new page. An example (below Mechsus's examples) QtParted. Should I edit these so that they don't show as camel case? Or was this by design to add explanations of these programs later on?

[Lobster]

If you are using camel case like so QtParted

but do NOT want it to be a link

then type it with two sets of quotation marks like so

Code: Select all

""QtParted""

Yep ownership is no big deal - the regulars keep an eye on new posts and comments - so any "manual spammers" can be removed - which I think has happened twice

On the previous wiki - we upgraded rather than deal with a series of spam attacks

From the front page of the wiki you will see the great use of HTML on the wiki (see featured page) that has been started

I very deliberately spent a lot of time and effort on this wiki and the previous wiki to familiarise myself with Linux and Puppy in particular . . .

Double clicking a page
going through that page and italicizing, embolding, indenting and checking for errors is a great way to learn . . .

[danleff]

Yes, I guess I should have been clearer. Do we want to change these? I was offering to do so, so readers would not see them as a link and click on them, creating a new page.

I assumed that this was not intentional, but if it was, I did not want to edit them.

[Lobster]

You can certainly change them Danleff that would be great - and quite a task . . .

- you could check and trim whilst you were about it . . .

I tried to but couldn't get in.
