Moderate Wiki edits

MediaWiki has many arsenine stupidities.

First stupidity is that they want everything implemented in a wiki. Result? MediaWiki's own website is idiotic in navigation, and it is hard to find anything there. And they don't even have a forum!

Second arsenine stupidity is that they leave everything open for spammers and the like, and naively say "why would you want to put in any restrictions"???

There are a load of settings and extensions that must be enabled for any new MediaWiki installation. I will list that later.

At the moment, I want to note that there are no easy solutions to moderate new or unapproved wiki edits.

Their own idiotic feature is called "patrolling". Basically, people view edits after the fact. Someone is free to deface your main page, and it will stay so until you "patrol" all the edits and discover the change.

By default, even unregistered users can edit your wiki. That is one of those things you need to correct as soon as you install wiki you your own web site.
