Page Content

Never put any personal information (e.g. contact details) into a Wurst Wiki page!

Anyone with an account can create and edit pages on the Wurst Wiki. Before you do, however, please keep in mind that the content of these pages is visible to everyone. Even if your edits are later reverted, everyone can still see them by clicking on the “Old revisions” tab.

We can only remove your edits from the “Old revisions” tab by manually deleting files on the server. Even if we do that, this information is unlikely to ever become private again. People can download the page, print it out, take screenshots, etc. before this information is removed.

Edit Summaries

Never put any personal information (e.g. contact details) into your edit summary!

When you create, edit or delete a page, you also have the option to provide an “Edit summary” text before saving. Edit summaries are only meant to provide a quick summary of what you have changed about the page. Edit summaries are publicly visible in the “Old revisions” tab and they cannot easily be changed or deleted.

We can only delete your edit summary by manually modifying files on the server. Even if we do that, this information is unlikely to ever become private again. People can download the page, print it out, take screenshots, etc. before this information is removed.

Change Logs

Whenever you create, edit or delete a page, we log your username and IP address. This is necessary to prevent vandalism (we can easily block the username / IP address of users who vandalize the Wurst Wiki).

We also publicly display your username in the “Old revisions” tab of any page that you have created, edited or deleted. By default, we keep your username in the “Old revisions” tab forever, even if you delete your account. This is necessary to give you credit according to the Creative Commons license that we use on this wiki.

We can manually delete your username from the “Old revisions” tab if you request us to do so.
