Where are instructions on how to update the wiki?

I have been asked to update the TinyMCE configuration topic, since I just figured out how to do it.

What are the procedures to accomplish this?

Quite bizarre indeed. I see that the "create an account" link is missing on the wiki page. When I tried a direct link to the create account (by entering the path used on any mediawiki) I got the answer:

The above message, might also be the reason why some of the info on the wiki is outdated. According to this forum post, the login credentials should be the ones used on e107.org. For me it didn't work though. -)

I logged in, made some changes, went to Preview, and got an Access Forbidden...

Administrator: how am I supposed to update one of the page topics?

Can't remember exactly what needs to be done but there was some attacks on the wiki pages, deletions, spam etc. a while back so things were tightened up

steved should have the answer hopefully

I believe the user accounts of e107.org are linked to the wiki. You can login to the wiki with the same login details as on e107.org.
I'm not sure if any user can just edit it, it might require more permissions but steved should be able to answer that as Dave said.

steved: so how do I save my topic?

Sorry, didn't realise I was supposed to wake up

You should indeed be able to log in to the wiki with your e107.org credentials - except that Mediawiki does strange things with upper and lower case in user names which sometimes confuses things. Also, at one point it expected your display name rather than your login name (from the days when they could be different....), which maybe explains why MysterF couldn't log in.

The 'Access Forbidden' message sounds as if its triggered by server-level security measures. Can you try some small updates, and see if they're accepted? Hopefully you can home in on what's bothering the security measures, and we can update the rules.

I checked and I am indeed signed in as Spokane-Dude; I removed the comment "awaiting input" and clicked save. Immediately, I got the Access Forbidden message.

If you want me to check anything else, just let me know, giving me instructions as to how to do it.

Or, I could give you the topic and you could do the update for me?

Tested some more, and the ' Access Denied' only appears if you try to edit and save the whole page.

If you look on the far right of 'How is TinyMCE configured? ' (or any other subsection), you'll see the word 'Edit'. Click on that and you can edit just the relevant subsection (which is often simpler anyway). That worked for me.

Will try and pin down what's triggering the security block.

You're the man! Works perfectly! Thank you so much for getting me started. Now, one more request: if you would please critique my first post, I would appreciate it.

Nope, my display and login name it's same only the real name is set to Floryn. Regardless I tried with floryn and with lower characters on mysterf as well without success. Imo it's my 129 bit password that uses +^\` numbers and letters that confuses the wiki, not sure though.

Long as the OP issue is solved I'm happy, no need to further investigate this for me (I rather you look at why the blodie ampersand in news titles still messes RSS feeds ).

You could be right - I couldn't find you listed in the wiki user database. 129 bits????

SecretR's tweaked the security settings so it should now be possible to edit the whole page as well as just a subsection.

The strength is 129 bits, well it's not like I have to remember it or anything. -)
