How are the wikis protected from vandalism?

Members require 25 posts to make and edit and any edits can be rolled back to an un-vandalised version.

If you see someone vandalising a wiki then please use the report post button as we have the ability to ban members from editing.
 
Will wikis be bumped when someone edits them? Otherwise i see them disappearing rather fast.

they don't get bumped from edits (but something to consider), but we do need a better Wiki discovery system. At a minimum we could have a wiki-of-wikis.

A wiki-of-wikis as a sticky in each subforum would be good.
 
Here's one that's in the MBP forum:

I realized that Wiki discovery isn't the easiest right now. We'll need some sort of "guides/wiki" index.

That confuses me. If that discussion is a Wiki why does the thread starter put this in it ?

"This is a Wiki-post, editable by anyone with more than 25 posts

Please post feedback and suggestions for this wiki as a reply in this thread!"

That makes no sense. Feedback and suggestions as a reply ? A Wiki is editable by anyone with X number of posts so that shouldn't even be in there.

The Part that says "This is a Wiki-post, editable by anyone with more than 25 posts" is added by default when the Wiki is enabled.

The part that says "Please post feedback and suggestions for this wiki as a reply in this thread!" is what the OP himself put in there, to which I have no idea why.

KK. Cool.

Maybe a mod could explain exactly what a Wiki is as a sticky in the major threads.

It might help some people understand more about Wiki's.

Which is a cool idea imho.

Thanks for pointing that out. I changed it. You could've changed it yourself since its a wiki thread ;)
 
… compare …

I don't see anything like that; no colour.

Was I unlucky? (Did I stumble across a comparison between two identical versions?)

It looks a little different in this new version:

OK, so maybe I was unlucky with my first comparison. Unless I'm missing something, no green for this comparison:
