Revit wiki is supposed to have restricted editing
Closed, InvalidPublic

Description

I just discovered that I can edit without logging in. After looking, I discovered there are other users (besides miraheze anti-abuse):

https://revit.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:ListUsers?username=&group=&wpsubmit=&wpFormIdentifier=mw-listusers-form&limit=50

and that one even made an edit:

when I first made the wiki, it was supposed to be set so that only users could edit, and so that I could control who became a user (and I tested it).

I tried using the "Manage this wiki's permissions" link. For "Users" and "*" I unchecked everything (thinking that it would then restrict it to only me - as an administrator), but there are still Edit tabs when I'm not logged in. Also, both "Users" and "*" disappeared from the list after I unchecked the permissions. Is there another way?

which of the users on the user list should I NOT block?

how do I stop this from happening again?

I wouldn't mind if "other" users had access for talk pages, but main content should be restricted. Thanks.

@Lionel There is a way, yes.

I cannot reproduce what you say, however. I've checked multiple pages and it is functioning correctly, I cannot edit any pages while logged out.

As for the groups being removed, please read T4895

I think I may have messed something up by editing the permissions. When I tried to switch to source editing in Visual Editor, I got a "write api denied" error.

Thanks for the link! I used the paths given in the other issue to re-create both user and * (I had taken a screenshot of the permissions for user, but it looks like * may have had different ones, since I can't find "torunblocked" for it). Now I can switch editors without problem. Hopefully the permissions I set on * are ok...?

Check out the history on:

https://revit.miraheze.org/w/index.php?title=Material_Tag-KAI.rfa&action=history

the first (creation) entry is with my IP (because I created it without being logged in - how I discovered this issue). There doesn't seem to be any problem now (when I log out, I only see View Source, not Edit), so maybe it was an intermittent problem? Anyway...

I assume Abuse filter, Reception123, and Reception126 are official miraheze.org accounts? Is it safe to Block all other accounts (besides mine)?

Hello,

when i edit anonmously i get:

"The action you have requested is limited to users in one of the groups: Administrators, Editors."

Did you manage to fix your issue?

Please reopen if the issue is still a problem.

Also regarding the last bit @Reception123 would you be able to answer please? :) I doin't know if you own Reception126 so i cannot comment.
