Last week I upgraded the software for the Pirates@Home glossary to MediaWiki 1.13.0, which was released only a week or two earlier. I found that the extension I had written to allow automatic authentication to the wiki based on being logged in to the BOINC project was broken, and I fixed that as well. | |

I don't think the RAC requirement is in place. I have 0.0 RAC and can edit, but maybe that is just my account. | |

Apparently everything works as expected, I could modify or create pages. | |

Wormholio wrote: I don't think the RAC requirement is in place... I was logged in as Contact before. I glanced to make sure because I was surprised that I had to log into Pirates@Home on whatever computer I was on, but figured it was something to do with your recent work on the site or maybe something I did. To double check, I just logged out of wiki and was directed to logged out page on Pirates@Home. From there I logged back in as Contact but still get something like: View source for A Pirates' Glossary You do not have permission to edit pages, for the following reasons: This page has been locked to prevent editing. The action you have requested is limited to users in one of the groups Bureaucrats, officer, chief, seaman, able_seaman, boinc_dev, boinc_doc. You can view and copy the source of this page Looks like I'm blocked by my lack of privileges. Other than the 2 links I posted previously. BTW from my talk page on the wiki: "As it stands, the brig has no walls here. I have normal access. Works on Pirates@Home. I am unable to post to forum while in the brig. Brig Testing Thanks for testing the brig. I’ve made some changes which I hope make it work as intended. Could you try it, by logging out and logging back in. —Wormholio 08:46, 29 January 2007 (EST) Didn’t have to logout to be stopped from creating or editing, but I can comment here with 2min remaining in the brig. …Contact" So this does remind me of the brig. No edit or create tabs. And the familiar "You do not have permission" | |

The front page was indeed locked. Only a SysOp could edit it. I just removed that protection. But what about some other article pages? ____________ -- Eric Myers "Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire." -- William Butler Yeats | |

Okay, I think I understand the problem. It's the captain not the code. :-) | |

Wormholio wrote: The front page was indeed locked. Only a SysOp could edit it. I just removed that protection. Right. Now I get a difference for that page: View source for A Pirates' Glossary You do not have permission to edit pages, for the following reason: The action you have requested is limited to users in one of the groups Bureaucrats, boinc_dev, boinc_doc. You can view and copy the source of this page But other pages are the same as before: View source for Robert JACKSON (1690-1751) You do not have permission to edit pages, for the following reason: The action you have requested is limited to users in one of the groups Bureaucrats, officer, chief, seaman, able_seaman, boinc_dev, boinc_doc. You can view and copy the source of this page | |

code { dwarf } wrote: So now we should try the whole thing, only with the RAC threshold adjusted so that Contact can be promoted to seaman and edit pages, but not to able_seaman (which would allow him to add new pages). Ok, but my threshold is about to fall out to 0.00 | |

I was able to edit a page and create a user page in the Wiki. I pressed the log out button at the top of the wiki and was taken back to the main Pirates site. Going back to the Wiki, the Pirate's Glossary page shows that I am still logged in. Every other page showed that no body was logged in. I couldn't convince it to show me logged out on the Pirate's Glossary page; I even closed down the browser. I didn't flush my cache yet, but I could try that next. No proxy servers here at the office. | |

code { dwarf } wrote: The captain can edit, so can Rusty, so can Pepo. But not me or Contact. This might be, although there were times that I was a disabled_seaman (because of low RAC) regardless of being chief and I really could not create/edit pages. But this might have changed since. ____________ Peter .-) ![]() | |

No proxy servers here at the office. I have had the same thing happen to me. You were really logged out, but MediaWiki has a rather aggressive caching policy, so that page was being cached on the server, not your browser or an office proxy server. One way to tell is to try to edit the page. You'll get a "view source" box which looks a lot like the editing box, but you can't edit. Very frustrating until you figure it out. You can tell the wiki software to purge the cache by adding "&action=purge" to the URL, which should give you the same page but show that you are in fact logged out. ____________ -- Rusty McGee Johnson | |

Code dwarf is right that I had not completely eliminated the permissions check based on RAC, and that we should test that further. But we are a bit low in the water now, with only `hello` working and everybody low on RAC. So we'll put that off a bit. | |
