This wiki runs on the MediaWiki software and is hosted by Miraheze. The bureaucrat is the BristolSHC user, which is linked to the co-op email address and can be accessed by all members.
Permissions
Only users in the administrator group are permitted to create and edit pages because the wiki is intended as a web presence for the co-op, and as a tool for internal organisation. Additionally, only administrators can view pages in the Private namespace (pages with titles starting with "Private:") because some pages may contain personal information or details of communications which we don't have permission to release publicly.
To give a member access:
- Get them to create an account on https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:CreateAccount
- Log in as BristolSHC
- Go to Special:UserRights
- Enter their username
- Add them to the
administratorgroup - They can now log in at Special:UserLogin
Details
Most permissions for the (everyone) and user groups were removed on Special:ManageWiki/permission, and those permissions added explicitly to the administrator group. The wiki is set as private, and all pages not starting with "Private:" are whitelisted in Special:ManageWiki/settings#mw-section-permissions to allow public viewing of most pages.
