Don't really know where to post this but the entire Aderan wiki has been spammed to hell, all the pages are gone (As far as I can tell)

I don't know how to revert to previous edits (Or even if I can) but I'm sure someone knows how.

Yeah I thought of that (Can't remeber why I decided against it...)

Is it easy to fix?

Also sorry for not doing much to it, writing stuff for it etc., just sort of lost interest...

will work on it

although I've disabled now editing through anonymous accounts, someone with a normal account please confirm that simple registration of a new account is enough to be able to edit pages again

reverting to previous edit is done as follows:
open any page that is screwed up
click on history (on the top of the page a bit to the right from the edit button)
find the correct version without screwups
click on the radio button (in the row where you select 2 documents for comparison)
click compare selected revisions
then on the side of the screwed up text click "undo" on the top of the screen
scroll down and click save changes

OK I'll go through and revert all the pages. Pretty straightforward and should allow you to concentrate on whatever else your doing.

OK so most pages don't have any history other than the spammed page, don't know how to get around that sorry.

I think that might be b/c the pages in question were created by the spammer, the actually relevent names fooled me.

Making a brand new account (Doesn't require email activation, takes all of 2 seconds) allows you to edit pages.

Yeah I can look them up if you want, but it's all the ones in the 'recent changes' section that are new (Have an 'N' in front of them) and are spammed.

I think you and I (And Jiro and maybe some others?) got most if not all the ones that have history. I think it's b/c they were created by the spammer, therefore never had any actual info in them.

BTW you can delete 'Tester Account' I used it to test if a new account could edit.
