== Vandalism ==
Hey Graham. I don't mind the accidental block :-)
It seems to be pretty simple to change move permissions. Whoever has access to the server will have a file called LocalSettings.php. In that file, there's a section that looks like this:
<code>$wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['createaccount'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['read'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['edit'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['createpage'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['createtalk'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['move'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['read'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['edit'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['createpage'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['createtalk'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['upload'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['reupload'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['reupload-shared'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['minoredit'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['autoconfirmed']['autoconfirmed'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['bot' ]['bot'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['bot' ]['autoconfirmed'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['block'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['createaccount'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['delete'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['deletedhistory'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['editinterface'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['import'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['importupload'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['move'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['patrol'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['protect'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['rollback'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['upload'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['reupload'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['reupload-shared'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['unwatchedpages'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['autoconfirmed'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['bureaucrat']['userrights'] = true;</code>
I assume Prab is the only one with access to the server, so he just needs to change <code>$wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['move'] = true;</code> to <code>$wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['move'] = false;</code>. Since a lot of the vandalism is coming from the same people (I think), we might also want to install the [http://wiki.evernex.com/index.php?title=Installing_CheckUser Check User] special extension, which will allow us to see which IP addresses an editor is using, so we can effectively ban him/her. -- [[User:P.B.
