Lobster, I believe that's intended to raise the google rankings of the URLs which are on the page. From what I've read, it doesn't work and only wastes space on the Wiki server. Still, it ought to be deleted. :evil:

BarryK beat me to it. I wonder what was there. What was the spam?

Anyway, I changed the Write ACL from + (registered users) to include only:
  • BarryDavidKauler
    BarryKauler
    CrustyLobster
    GuestToo
    IanMul
    JaDy
If anyone else wants access, just ask.
I'll do this on my other pages.

Might be nice if Wikka Wakka Wiki had a trusted registered user syntax code, maybe # (the sharp symbol).
# = Trusted users
Here's the current ACL (Access Control List) Syntax:
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.

It was mostly from kind people who believe there should be more tension in the world and this should be localised. Or was it for standing tall?

:lol:

It is interesting that people own pages - hope no one gets possesive. I would remind those of us not selling legal drugs that placing a comment on a page is an easy way of adding data that will be accessed later and possibly put on the page.

Sometimes a page on ALSA sound is actually about Wifi

Or this is a hint or tip (and a good one too) for associating files

The wiki is a great place to browse (try the index - at the top of the page)
