Posted January 23, 2014 Hey there, someone mentioned in CA channel chat that many articles on the Wiki have been changed to some nonsense. Just wanted to flag this issue so hopefully the account responsible gets removed and the articles are rolled back. Cheers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 23, 2014 Yes, I was just alerted and blocked the account. I took a look at recent changes and saw a lot of ... work. Since you guys put so much work into this, you the players, I apologize for this misguided outburst. Please let me know of any other names that show up so I can block them too before they can ruin more work. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 23, 2014 http://www.wurmpedia.com/index.php/Special:RecentChangesNot much harm done. Changes are being reverted by the team right now. should be back to normal in no time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 23, 2014 Aye, thank you for the quick response to this one. Can't be helped, to be fair, I'm just glad a rollback erased all of that persons "work". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 23, 2014 It seems like the account was hacked, or something, I looked, why did he disappear from 2011 and suddenly pop up in 2014? Maybe old grievances? Who knows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 24, 2014 IMO only CA's CM's should be allowed to change wiki. we players give info to you ca, cm's that should make it safer. am i wrong to think of this 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 24, 2014 I would like to keep my Wiki editing privileges... If there is any harm done, then it can be reverted and fixed, and it seems usually within a very short time frame, so no real harm done. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This issue that came up today doesn't happen very often. I'm inclined to continue as is and keep the Wiki player made as is most everything in Wurm. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 24, 2014 Sounds like a good plan Eir Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 24, 2014 (edited) I am still contributing where and when I can. Be an exploit or outside script kiddies, or alterations made by the sour grievers that frequent the forums, doesn't matter, this is a tax for community maintained documentation, and we can deal with it. Whoever creates accounts should perhaps implement a stricter verification, although only useful if it's actual sourgrump players who made the alterations. have to laugh and move on PS: is the wiki software being kept up to date?

Posted January 24, 2014 PS: is the wiki software being kept up to date? Yes, Paradox keeps it very well up to date and we have daily back ups. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 25, 2014 Heh, looks like someone got a little bit angry about not being able to sell their account. Great job Eir and all who helped fix! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 25, 2014 (edited) Heh, looks like someone got a little bit angry about not being able to sell their account. Great job Eir and all who helped fix! Care to share with us that insider info ? I also bid on this account and I was left with many questionmarks. It looks to me that you know things we the rest don't. Can the GMs please make a statement about that ? Edited January 25, 2014 by Issle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 25, 2014 No. It's standard policy that we do not publicize actions taken on any account. The issue is private between them and us, unless they wish to talk about it. We cannot. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
