Dreamwidth Volunteers

Keeping MediaWiki secure, not overrun by spammers, and not regularly falling over has gotten to be too much of a burden and the antispam steps we've had to take have made it difficult for people to log in and use it for quite some time, so we have officially thrown in the towel and outsourced the problem. Everything that was found on the wiki can now be found in its new location:

https://github.com/dreamwidth/dreamwidth/wiki

If you spot references to the old location in places we control, please let us know! We'll get it cleaned up over time.

People (possibly just people with older browsers) will find that the wiki OpenID login is busted again thanks to config changes. At this point we are giving up, because trying to keep up with preventing spam and abuse while also continuing to allow legitimate use is a Sisyphean task that is taking entirely too much time and frustration, and the time is better directed elsewhere. As soon as I have the energy to start on it, we will be moving our documentation to Github's hosted wiki system and then we will never have to deal with this headache again.

I will not be moving every page -- a lot of what's on the wiki is extremely out of date to the point of being useless or actively misleading to rely on. To make the judgement calls of what's not out of date easier: if you regularly use specific pages on the wiki, please leave a list of them here to make sure I don't accidentally leave anything out!
