Re: [talk-au] Dislike the new wiki skin?
Hello. For those of you that dislike the new wiki look, you can revert it by going to: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Special:Preferences Click on 'Appearance', and then select 'MonoBook' and save... Thank you for that. Looks a lot more normal now. Just being evil-minded and petty; I wonder if this hint should be added (discretely) to, say, the Australian Tagging Guidelines. Might as well keep up the image of them ignorant Southern Hemisphere hicks wot doesn't like to toe the line? Incidentally, is it just me, or has there been a whole lot more fiddling with the wiki; and a whole lot less mapping data entry since the license cold war broke out? In a perverse moment yesterday I did a bit of a local test to find out the impact of removing nodes touched by people known to be anti-ODbL, and discovered that (for example) Ballina nearly completely disappears if you, me and Rosscoe's edits were removed, and renders Lismore more or less completely dependent upon Brenton (Biogenesis_). Amazing how fragile some areas are. Back to the wiki. Have you also noticed a quiet change in that the prompt regarding the licence change which appeared on every page for the last few months is now gone?

Amazing how fragile some areas are. That's not an acurate way to view it, to do it properly you'd have to filter through the entire change set history until you hit an editor you want to exclude, rather than the last person to make a change. Also I'm pretty sure that I'm not anti-ODBL, but I am anti-CT and anti-DBCL... ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

I'm the evil bastard who upgraded the wiki + changed the default skin. I'm a proud new South African. (*insert rugby comment here*) There was a problem until today with the wiki edit page, it should now be fixed. I removed the wiki 'license change' banner when I upgrade the install of MediaWiki, nothing sinister. I've just re-added the banner now.

Amazing how fragile some areas are. As John pointed out, you need to check the entire history, not just the last editor. As John recently ran a script which modified every single residential street in the country (without a maxspeed limit set), this means if you exclude the streets with his name attached, youd be wiping out almost every residential street, even though someone else might have maintained the area for years before the change was made. Also, there are many mappers around, just because one or two people didnt map an area, doesnt mean it wouldnt be mapped. If a mapper sees an area filled in, they wont work so closely on that area, but if those 2 or 3 users you mentioned, hadnt mapped the area they did, someone else would have.
