== 2013 ==
=== November ===
; 16
* INSTALL extension [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:RSS_Reader RSSReader] extension; seems to be working okay, as seen on the [[Gunsopedia:Current events|Current events]] page. --[[User:Dennis|Dennis]] ([[User talk:Dennis|talk]]) 16:48, 16 November 2013 (CST)

; 14
* Add extension [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:LookupUser LookupUser] and add to EOF:
* require_once "$IP/extensions/LookupUser/LookupUser.php";
: $wgGroupPermissions['*']['lookupuser'] = false;
: $wgGroupPermissions['lookupuser']['lookupuser'] = true;
* Add hotmail.com and spambog.com to [[MediaWiki:Email-blacklist]]

=== October ===
; 23
* $wgGroupPermissions['*']['createpage'] = false; due to massive spam

=== August ===
; 22
* Add Zone Guns-O-Pedia - Vector left side code to Vector.php line 268.
; 7
* Add infolinks code to Vector.php just above the /body tag line 295. now 317
* Add Zone Guns-O-Pedia - Leaderboard code line 167.

=== April ===
; 28
* Remove nearly 100 spam.
* Add cron job removeUnusedAccounts.php to run every other day at 06:00 EDT.  Here's hoping ''that'' gets the job done. --[[User:Dennis|Dennis]] ([[User talk:Dennis|talk]]) 09:43, 28 April 2013 (CDT)
* Spam seems to have moved to a new namespace; added same lock to NS USER_TALK as USER (autoconfirmed only). --[[User:Dennis|Dennis]] ([[User talk:Dennis|talk]]) 20:09, 28 April 2013 (CDT)
; 20
* Cranked up BadBehavior extensions/bad-behavior/settings.ini from normal to strict and re-enabling account creation.  Let's see how long this lasts...--[[User:Admin|ComAdmin]] ([[User talk:Admin|talk]]) 09:50, 20 April 2013 (CDT)
** Well, let's see... registrations were unlocked at 09:50, first registration was at 16:04 and first spam at 16:05.  From zero to spam in 6hrs 14mins.  Better than the day before yesterday (>20 in the same timeframe), but still pretty sucky.  Leaving it another 6hrs to see what happens, then likely shutting it back down again. --[[User:Admin|ComAdmin]] ([[User talk:Admin|talk]]) 11:17, 20 April 2013 (CDT)
*** Still coming.  Trying setting $wgAutoConfirmAge to 259200 (3 days) since spam seems to be created immediately after the accounts.  See ''[[Special:ListGroupRights]]''.  --[[User:Admin|ComAdmin]] ([[User talk:Admin|talk]]) 13:11, 20 April 2013 (CDT)
**** So much for that.  Going to try:<br>$wgGroupPermissions['user']['createpage'] = false; and<br># $wgGroupPermissions['autoconfirmed']['createpage'] = true;<br>and see if that gets me anydamnwhere. --[[User:Admin|ComAdmin]] ([[User talk:Admin|talk]]) 13:53, 20 April 2013 (CDT)
***** No.  $wgNamespaceProtection[NS_USER]  = array( 'autoconfirmed' ); --[[User:Admin|ComAdmin]] ([[User talk:Admin|talk]]) 14:42, 20 April 2013 (CDT)
* Also beginning converting all dates to the new conventions (<date>/featured <thing>).

* Finally seem (SEEM) to have figured out how to get importImages.php to work on the server.  First files came through with all aspects intact.  Will backup and try to run on all 2200 or so files.
** worked for 2012 files.  Good enough...

; 18
* ENABLE user account creation; let's see what happens...
** Well, that didn't take long... six hours and over 20 spam.  Locking it back up again...
* Chesking out [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:AbuseFilter Extension:AbuseFilter].  TOW uses it.
* Added line but did not enable $wgEmailConfirmToEdit.  May be of use later.

===March===

Site-specific namespaces will be done last
* import Talk: namespace... not.  Too much garbage to sort through (deleted/locked notices, etc.)  Conversations will have to start again from scratch.
* import User: namespace (limited to known contributors, who will have to re-register due to the new database)
* looks like some of the userpages got spammed...
* copy over MediaWiki's common.css and .js files.  Should work here, but maybe...
* import Template: namespace, leaving Template talk: namespace where it is
* leaving most of the Category: namespace where it is, since the structure's going to get a total makeover
How the hell to mass import the images??

;15
* change redirect to dedicated directory
* install MW 1.20.0
* try to import entire Main: namespace from old server; fail
** '''replace''' is tab, ^n ^p ^11 ^13 to ^l and finally ^l^l to ^11
* try in smaller chunks of 345 pages, Main namespace successfully imported
* next up: install extensions so front page doesn't look like crap...
* DISABLE registrations - until antispam can be installed
* ENABLE $wgSysopRangeBans - to ban of ranges of IPs
* ENABLE non-admins to view the special:deleted contributions page - so spam reports can be evidenced
* ENABLE wgAllowSlowParserFunctions - needed for the PAGESINNAMESPACE magic word
* ENABLE $wgArticlePath $wgUsePathInfo - for short urls; had to bugger with .htaccess to do it
* INSTALL [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CategoryTree CategoryTree] extension.
* ENABLE [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ConfirmEdit ConfirmEdit] extension, which seems to come bundled these days. Barfed on save attempt without [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:VisualMathCaptcha VisualMathCaptcha].  Guess I should install that. fml  Configurations are NOT in LocalSettings, but rather in ConfirmEdit
* Install VisualMathCaptcha, ConfirmEdit no barf now so I configured it no nag fcking everybody.  Except me.
