Fijiwiki:Community Portal
From Fijiwiki
Welcome to the Fijiwiki Community Portal!
This is the place where I, Matthew Miller, will get completly over my head with the scale and scope of trying to compile the history of the Nu Sigma Chapter of Phi Gamma Delta in a usable and interesting format. With the help of you, my brothers, we have a chance to make this a success. Then, it will be all of us in over our heads.
Eventually this place, The Community Portal, will ennumerate the status of this project as well as give information about our rules and guidelines. However, I'll need someone really handy with creating templates first.
Wish myself and everyone who works on this a lot of Luck.
Perge!
[edit] To Do
- Archive Charter... how long has it been since anyone but me has seen it?
Think of good way to compile central contact info list/databaseI have a sample list started. The Contact List link on the Main Page is active. Someone let me know if they have a better way to do this. Millercommamatt 11:27, 15 March 2007 (EDT)- Work out a family tree type structure to show big brother/little brother relationships. There is a wikipedia template called familytree that may be of use, but it's very complicated.
[edit] Concerning Brother Pages
Currently, Matthew Miller should act as a template for all other brother pages. It makes full use of the brotherinformation template. I will make my best efforts to make it reflect what I think the individual brother pages should be. Of course, if someone else comes up with something better, I will be glad to adhere to a superior standard.
[edit] Future Security Changes
Currently, you have to be logged in to edit a page. This, in theory, limits editing to brothers only. I don't currently have restrictions on who can make accounts, but I can remove the account of anyone who doesn't belong.
Once Fijiwiki's user base starts to expand and some more sensitive and personal information goes up, the security settings will increase to restrict non logged in users from viewing any page but the main page and the login page. I also plan on restricting who can register at that point.
Once I up the security for the wiki, brothers will have to contact me the get an account created for them. It will kind of be like the old Fijiweb days when I used to run it. Ideally, I'd like for brother to be able to create an account that would need admin approval before it's activated. That way, brothers can register whenever and however they want and all I would have to do is to keep an eye on my e-mail. However, mediawiki doesn't seem to have such a function. I think I can set up some special user group setting that will allow brothers to register on their own and then have their premission expanded once validated by an administrator. code The following code snippets are purely for my own reference so I don't have to look them up again.
# Disable reading line, for anonymous (not-logged-in => * ) :
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['read'] = false;
# ... and enable anonymous to read the followings pages :
$wgWhitelistRead = array( "Main Page", "Special:Userlogin", "-", "MediaWiki:Monobook.css" );
# This snippet prevents new registrations from anonymous users
# (Sysops can still create user accounts)
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] = false;
There's a good reason for all of this security paranoia. This chapter has done some sketchy things in its history. A lot of it centers around our chartering. I won't allow that information to be suppressed on here and I think it should be shared. I think its a good example of just how driven this chapter was to meet its goals. However, that doesn't mean we want to share that information with the rest of the world. Millercommamatt 11:25, 15 March 2007 (EDT)
