Hi, as great as the idea is, I'm sad to tell you there are already bots or spam users registering on your wiki.
To get the best out of it, you'll need to do these steps:
- Add a captcha to the registration page.
- Use HTTPS instead of HTTP if possible and not too expensive. Basic CERT should be enough.
- Make an email address mandatory and enable email verification.
On topic: Great idea! I might write something about the PowerMac G4!
I saw the bots, I need to get captcha worked on. My stupid hosting site, Directnic (would never recommend them) went down. I don't understand. My site is up, the backend is down...

Yeah, no, I mean real articles describing each computer, for example, a page I'm working on currently is the iMac G4 page. Also, can you make the {{lowercase}} and {{n/a}} templates work somehow? I'm not very good with MediaWiki.
Hmm, let me see if I can figure it out 🙂.
Now, we have Captcha, if your email is verified, it isn't a problem.

I actually have an idea since I haven't done this myself. Create a page for various software, such as TenFourFox stating the history, etc. Was my main idea for the PPC App Store but I think it would better fit your wiki Keaton.

I think its a great idea! Right now, I'm in the process of moving the wiki from my terrible hosting onto a self hosted box. The new (temporary) address is http://wiki.128keaton.com/wiki/

Your Apache server seems to be having issues. I can't access it on my MBP or iPhone.

Good idea!
Also, please put Wiki links as direct links instead of URLs. So, write for example [[iMac G4]] instead of [apple.keaton128.com/iMacG4] or something like that.

Yeah, no, I mean when editing/creating certain article, use them instead of URLs.

Added some info on the PMG5 page about failures. All stuff I've dealt with 😀

Go here and upload it http://apple.128keaton.com/wiki/Special:Upload then go to the page you're editing and go
Code:
[[File:ppcarchive.png|300px|center|]]ppcarchive.png - file name; 300px is how wide, and center is an option depending on where you have the image.

I believe the final revision of the Quad actually has one of the most reliable versions of the LCS.

Yes and I'm fortunate enough to have one, it did not come cheap though.
The shipping alone from California to me here on Vancouver Island was $167.
But I do love this machine, it is quick and unbelievably quiet.

http://apple.128keaton.com/wiki/Mac_OS_X so the policy is to copy and paste from Mactracker? This should be easy!
Nah most of its placeholder. I have drafts with versioning, download links, and screenshots I've been working on. BTW, all of Mactracker's history is from Apple History. Lastly, I don't appreciate the tone conveyed, if you see a problem with the page, you are free to edit it.

Fair enough, I understand it is a work in progress. Added a placeholder for the Public Beta.
