Before the whole thing got locked down you could create pages and accounts with zero verification or captchas, even though Media Wiki supports both of these:https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:UserVerificationhttps://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/CAPTCHA(the only form of captcha before was a basic math one, and only subsequent edits to a page, meaning you could create accounts and pages with zero hindrance)The /lit/ wiki is now just a museum. But I'm glad we still have my favourite articles on The Ultimate Guide To Finding The Perfect Couch For Sale In The UK and Welpen Aus Yorkie Zucht: Ein Comprehensiver Leitfaden Für Zukünftige Besitzer. Charts and reading guides are for fags anyway.

>>24772775Was funny when I found this book being snuck into the UK/Irish Recommended Reading list. I thought it'd be some random self-published author, but nah, trad pubbed, has reviews in the Guardian and the New York Times. I did not think that paid shills would go so far as to start editing obscure, half-dead wikis, and lol at the file description:>"Bonding is the work of an author whose importance already feels assured" (the Observer)
>>24772775The charts are in the mega anyway.
>>24773340Sure, and they're on the still-accessible wiki too, but the problems is that just like the now-locked-down wiki it's only the maintainer who can add files to it. With the Mega folder maybe the maintainer floats around making additions, but eventually he won't, and he can't catch everything. The wiki, meanwhile, (under normal conditions) allows user submissions and can have multiple admins and pass the torch if one person doesn't want to maintain it. There are dead links to previously-shared folders floating in /lit/'s archive, or un-maintained folders, and stuff easily gets lost if you rely on methods like that. Providers will also go down too.The wiki can and does also contain information not suited to charts. It's far more versatile.
>>24773476Sounds like someone got greedy
>>24773518I don't get your point. As far as I can tell, the wiki admin took on and then abandoned what's supposed to be a public resource for /lit/, all without implementing simple measures to prevent that. That's lame.
