Board Thread:Wiki Running/@comment-26235098-20150811020608

Following some serious vandalism on a couple of other wiki's this weekend, Wikia is working to address security issues.

A few things in the Wiki that are temporarily "broken". Functionality will be restored after staff has finished sorting out the issues. Currently "broken" things are:
 * custom user tags (extra labels and stars are missing from user mastheads)
 * the Youtube template is broken (and similar ones will be too)

Admins:


 * MediaWiki pages (js, css, etc) may not be editable and not provide the unprotect option. (The thread said they'd leave access to Common.css while implementing a security patch, but looks like they did not.)
 * custom styled features may be missing, or may come and go as changes are made
 * javascript which poses the greatest threat may remain readonly for a bit longer
 * the tag has been temporarily disabled (reason Youtube template doesn't work

Note: The Runescape was one of the affected wikis. It's possible this may have impacted on our chatlogging, as we use that code. That code NOW appears to be sane: either it was not tampered with, or staff has restored it.
