Description Steven Walling 2011-01-03 20:10:41 UTC 
If it not the default for MediaWiki installs on the Wikimedia cluster, please set $wgAutoConfirmAge to 0 for tenwiki. It is imperative that any registered user be able to edit some semi-protected pages after creating their account.

Might be a stupid question... but why are you semi protecting them at all then?

To prevent bot vandalism maybe? Presumably there's a CAPTCHA for creating an account.

Despite that this seems weird to me per comment #1, I've done it anyway.
Comment 3 Steven Walling 2011-01-04 18:43:41 UTC 
Thanks Roan.

To explain, tenwiki has several high value pages (and templates) that we don't really want anonymous users editing. However, most of the logged in users that need to edit these pages are not autoconfirmed because tenwiki is so young and things are growing so fast in anticipation of the anniversary. In general, there's no reason to wait to autoconfirm users who bother logging in, since the main event that the wiki is focused on is happening in less than two weeks.
Comment 4 Roan Kattouw 2011-01-04 19:25:46 UTC 
OK, it makes even less sense to me now; why did you ask Rob to disable all anonymous editing earlier?
Comment 5 Steven Walling 2011-01-04 20:04:36 UTC 
I didn't ask to disable anonymous editing, I asked to disable anon page creation!
