I send you this page out of order to have your advice!
So, I can really edit this page? How do you keep the Jerks out?
+
+;: Quite simple: there's a complete history of all the versions of the page ever submitted. If someone deletes the content of a page or fills it with obscenities or whatever, you can just go back one version, copy the content, and resubmit it. It's the beauty of the wiki concept. I also imagine there's an admin feature to mass-rollback pages to certain previous versions. Certainly, there's no provision against jerks who keep causing trouble, but it's just a matter of time before they get tired, especially if it's several wikizens undoing the changes. And there's such a mass of pages and it's so much work to find and edit them all that it's not likely anyone will be able to really disrupt the place. --AristotlePagaltzis
