Todd > I'm no expert, but I suppose it would depend in part where the program was stored. All programs, even so-called virtual ones, still require physical servers somewhere. (One of the arguments against AI is how bad it may end up being for the environment, due to the massive data centers required.) I imagine that the bots would eventually be deleted if payments weren't continued for the server space. But if the program wasn't removed and was permitted to keep running indefinitely, then I imagine the bots could indeed turn into Nokkar.

jamesdixon: Welcome :--) I just checked and Hanna-Barbera Wiki is using 1.43, while MediaWiki's latest version is 1.45.1. So anything on MediaWiki should be pretty helpful.

https://hanna-barberawiki.com/wiki/Special:Version

At any rate, to adjust things similar to GargWiki, you'd need to go into the site's local settings.php (which is not an edit that can be casually done online). If you do not have access yourself, I would inquire with whoever does at Grifkuba.

This page from MediaWiki would help in that case: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Preventing_access

Hope this helps!

Three posts in a row from a bot with the same signature - another definite sign that artificial intelligence is artificial.

(I've been wondering for a while, and hope that those who know more about this sort of thing than I am can answer that: if a phony business (I generally suspect that to be the source of these kinds of bot-posts) was shut down for fraud, could the bots it had created continue going about posting advertisements or links for that, almost in the manner of soldiers who don't realize that the war is over?)

morrand: Thanks, but unfortunately, that is a previous version that Grifkuba doesn't use.

Bringing up Roger Allers, artist, animator and co-director of The Lion King who passed away a couple days ago. Most of us raised on Disney can't understate how influential that movie was to us.

jamesdixon: I'm not with GargWiki, but assuming you're on MediaWiki, have you looked at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:User_rights for instructions? It comprehensively discusses permission settings and there are a couple of specific examples there of setting up a special group with edit rights.

Second.

Hi, look, I'm wondering if anybody from GargWiki can help me out? I'm running a Hanna-Barbera Wiki hosted by Grifkuba, and I know that GargWiki only lets people edit after approval, so I was wondering if you anyone there could tell me how that was implemented because I would really like that installed for us (although we're already talking about it on Discord, anyway, I just thought maybe someone can offer some insight).

Thank you.
