Given that we’re up to date with MediaWiki again, we can think about actually re-enabling public wiki signups. QuestyCaptcha with a suitably opaque set of questions would hopefully keep the Chinese Stone Crusher spammers out - given that BlogNomic is a game, we’d have a little more leeway in requiring players to jump through a hoop or two before getting a wiki account.
(We could even just have a single, secret codeword which we can share temporarily on the blog, and which new players get told when they’re PMed their GNDT password.)

We use that sort of CAPTCHA on another wiki. The spammers send someone to check the answer every few months, then there’s a bunch of spam until we change the question. Just having admins share it by PM would avoid that problem.
If wiki accounts from before the server move need recreating, mine is CallForJudgement, and it might come in useful to have it even though I don’t actively play BlogNomic nowadays.

Sylphrena, your account information has been PM’d. Feel free to help with the dynastic history page.

(I’ve added a CSS style to make Sticky Posts display differently, and to have “Sticky Post:” in the title, after glancing at the blog earlier and assuming the new dynasty hadn’t started yet since an old post was still at the top.)
Sylphrena:
Wait, should casual (non-admin) players have wiki accounts? If so, I need one.
