Potential topics[edit source]

Hi. Here's some natural building topics you might be interested in: strawbale, rammed earth, and cob. Since you're interested in homesteading, I recommend checking out Portal:Permaculture --Ethan (talk) 23:06, 22 February 2017 (PST)

Thanks, I'll check it out =) Moribund (talk) 09:56, 24 February 2017 (PST)
Depending on your level of access on Wikipedia, you might also be interested in the proposal to "un-delete" content from there by importing it here. 1 2 --Ethan (talk) 21:58, 3 March 2017 (PST)

Thanks[edit source]

Thanks for pointing out the dead link on Rainwater harvesting. It is fixed now. --Lonny (talk) 11:02, 13 November 2017 (PST)

Admin![edit source]

Hi Moribund,

Thank you for all your awesome contributions to Appropedia and for accepting our nomination to be an Admin. You now have a few new Administrative tools such as deleting (and undeleting) pages, blocking users, and even mass deleting pages created by a user (in extreme vandalism/spam cases). These of course come with responsibilities. If you have any questions along the way, please ask. You can see a little more at Appropedia:Administrators.

Thanks again! --Lonny (talk) 19:22, 11 March 2019 (PDT)

Welcoming[edit source]

Hi Moribund,

Thanks again for all your exemplary work! Just a quick note that when welcoming you can use {{subst:Welcome|Moribund}} so that the welcome message does not show all the template code when the page is edited by the next person (e.g. the welcomee...e.g. https://www.appropedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Keshavboddula&action=edit&section=1).

Please let me know if that does not make sense.

Thanks! --Lonny (talk) 12:54, 3 April 2019 (PDT)

Moribund, could you help me with my wiki called Segapedia? It is at Segapedia. My user name is "Tiger Mum". Saftzie (Message me!) 00:45, 23 April 2019 (PDT)

Anti-spam[edit source]

Hi, Moribund! I'm Roger, one of the other admins here. Thanks for all your hard work on Appropedia, and for spending so much time and effort fighting spam here :) It's really appreciated.

This last weekend, Appropedia was subject to an intense slowdown and a series of website crashes. I am not exactly sure what happened, unfortunately, but my best guess was a drive-by denial-of-service attack, perhaps.

In the process, we switched servers and updated some of our software and security features.

As a test, I added a commercial anti-spam solution: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Antispam

It uses a third-party IP & email address spam filter to block new users and edits. If you notice any issues related to that, please do let me know!

If you'd like to see the edits it's blocking, please create an account at cleantalk.org and let me know your email address there so I can invite you to our site there.

Thanks so much!
