Holy bejeezus, they're back. (By the way, Fongpei is a spammer, too.)  Perhaps we could use a more complicated account creation process?
Hi, wiki contributors who are looking here!


:Add Eldron to the list. I think they're all the same person - they're trying to post the same links. -[[User:TeamRagnarok|TeamRagnarok]] 07:17, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
I recently had to move servers (long story); things seem to have come over fine but the bad news is that the Recaptcha plugin is broken under PHP 5.3.x, which this server is running. See http://code.google.com/p/recaptcha/issues/detail?id=72.


::Added both of them; there's nothing I can do to make the account creation more complicated, it's not my software. (sigh)  --[[User:Remy|Remy]] 21:38, 10 Mar 2006 (EST)

:::Aw, but it's GPL software. I'd volunteer to try to add an email confirmation type thing this weekend, but I'm kind of leaving for England in 10 hours :x (By the way, I'd guess all this spamming is scripted; the xtrinityluvx and Fongpei edits always happened four minutes apart.) Also by the way, the CS USA page ... :x --[[User:Miz|Miz]] 06:52, 11 Mar 2006 (EST)

Hey, I found some potentially good info. Remy, check your email. Also, I don't really see the point in cleaning up the link spam until we get blocks (or better solutions) in place, since it appears to be, so it just clutters up the Recent Changes page :x  --[[User:Miz|Miz]] 00:16, 12 Mar 2006 (EST)
 
:: You said blocks, teehee! Actually, if Google indexes this wiki often, they can use this to spam up Google search engine result pages. Trust me, you learn all about this when you participate in SEO contests. --[[User:Sakurina|Sakurina]] 17:17, 12 Mar 2006 (EST)

Not a spammer, but [[User:TheCat88|TheCat88]] is really screwing up the wiki. He's moving pages all over the place, and is causing some pages to have non-working links (by moving them to pages with katakana/kanji in their titles). --[[User:TeamRagnarok|TeamRagnarok]] 23:10, 14 March 2006 (UTC)\
 
The spambots are coming back, apparently from the same user, but using different links (Italian?).  It looks likes you make have to put up some more IP bans.  --[[User:CardinalDan|CardinalDan]] 20:37, 10 August 2007 (EST)
 
:I don't know how often you check this, but you can come [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CheckUser here] to download a checkuser function for the wiki.  It may help with the loads of spambots that have hit the site. [[User:CardinalDan|CardinalDan]] 01:07, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

== First Appeared On: ==
 
Uh, for several songs, their first appearance isn't in IIDX, although that's what their song pages currently say. Would it work to make that line say what the actual first appearance is, whether it's 5Key, Pop'n, IIDX, DDR, or whatever, and add "First IIDX Appearance" and "First Pop'n Appearance" lines for when it came out there?
[[User:Gameboyguy13|JD]] 22:01, 28 Dec 2005 (EST)
 
== Front page edit requests! ==
 
So now that I've added the IIDX Songs category to most of the IIDX song pages, could you change the "Song directory" link on the first page under the IIDXicon heading to point to Category: IIDX Songs? Could you also move all the pages that aren't already to game-specific page names? (e.g. AC General Info -> IIDX AC General Info)  Also, Category: Characters is empty now, please link that to Category: IIDX Characters.  The Songs and Characters links should also be changed on the IIDXicon page.  I think that about covers it for now. Yes. Thanks. --[[User:Miz|Miz]] 19:00, 1 Apr 2006 (EST)
 
I'm not certain, but I believe all of the pages HAD a IIDX: and PnM: prefix before and were removed shortly afterwards. --[[User:Sakurina|Sakurina]] 21:59, 1 Apr 2006 (EST)
 
== IIDXicon and GOLD ==
 
GOLD is still missing from the IIDXicon main page. It's protected, so I can't add it myself. --'''[[User:TeamRagnarok|Team]][[User talk:TeamRagnarok|<font color="#3399FF">Ragnarok</font>]]''' 15:54, 11 Jan 2007 (EST)
:Thanks. :) --'''[[User:TeamRagnarok|Team]][[User talk:TeamRagnarok|<font color="#3399FF">Ragnarok</font>]]''' 23:24, 19 Jan 2007 (EST)
 
== Bot attack patterns ==
 
Just a heads up, but there is a noticeable pattern of attacks by the bots.  It looks like they are programmed to attack the wiki between December-February and July-August.  Now, I don't know if it is possible, but could you block certain IP ranges or have a way to see who is opening new accounts, since it may allow the sysops to block the bots before they cause trouble to the wiki.[[User:CardinalDan|CardinalDan]] 16:25, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Server Move

Hi, wiki contributors who are looking here!

I recently had to move servers (long story); things seem to have come over fine but the bad news is that the Recaptcha plugin is broken under PHP 5.3.x, which this server is running. See http://code.google.com/p/recaptcha/issues/detail?id=72.

Let me know by email if anything else is busted. You guys should know where to find me.

Testing to see if the patch works?

Can I change my username?

I would like to change my username for privacy purposes. Andrewkim (talk) 07:39, 19 September 2014 (UTC)
