:well, you can find instructions for changing user rights [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:User_rights#Changing_group_permissions here]. the problem is that i'm pretty sure only a [http://www.jonathancoulton.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=Special:ListUsers&group=bureaucrat bureaucrat] can do that. i dunno if there's any way for anyone to promote theirself (or someone else) to bureaucrat or something. i can talk to my friend [[tmbw:User:CapitalQ|CapitalQ]], who is more knowledgeable about wikis than me, and get back to you on that! i find forums to be terribly confusing, so i am not on there, but since everyone kinda points in that direction maybe i ought to register an account. -[[User:Apollo|apollo]] 18:02, 2 June 2012 (EDT)

Re: spam discussion

Hey, Apollo, thanks for letting me know about the discussion about spam. I would certainly prefer to combat spam by prevention rather than cleanup, but I don't have access to anything -- about all I can do is talk to JoCo etc. and ask them to do something, but I honestly don't know much about what tactics to recommend. It would probably help if someone better informed would e-mail JoCo or Scarface and suggest things.
