You will have to contact the CPI to modify these settings.

  • Change default logo
  • Uploads: Allow or prevent file upload from logged-in users
  • Skin: There are a number of "skins" logged-in users can choose, a default skin can be set for each wiki.
  • Locked/Unlock: Make the wiki read-only
  • Takedown Date: Some (we hope few) wikis have a certain life-span, settings this date will define when the wiki should be taken of the iInternet

  • No Spam: Exempt the wikifrom global spam list.
  • External Images: Allow images from external locations
  • Site Message: Places a custom message at the top of the page site
  • Access:
    • Very Public: Anyone can access the wiki and edit the wiki, making the wiki quick and easy to edit.
    • Account-To-Edit: Anyone can access the wiki, only authenticated users can edit the wiki. Easy to access, easy to track, one extra step for contributing.
    • Semi-Secure: Only authenticated users can view and edit the wiki. Please consider that accounts themselves aren't that hard to come by (see Account Creation section).
    • Very-Secure: You set a "magic password" and all users will have to enter the password and the site's title as a username when they view or edit the wiki. SSL (HTTPS://) is enforced not just for passwords, but also for viewing content.
