[edit] More Help

I made a first attempt to fill this area; opinions for additional material (sections, content, etc.) are welcomed. Gzarkadas

A "Public domain" Help exists on mediawiki. This can be taken over easily, even if she is not yet completely finished. Would only be the problem with the languages… --MadEddy 13:46, 6 March 2007 (PST)

The content cannot be copied because mediawiki provides it under the GNU Free Documentation Licence and this is incompatible with the current AviSynth wiki's licence (see the licences page at gnu.org). Thus, only links to the content are safe. Gzarkadas 10:15, 7 March 2007 (PST)

I understand. To this problem I had already read some. Therefore it is possible, for individual sides and/or ranges another license defines. This circumstance must be only mentioned then in the global license explanation additionally. On Mediawiki, one can see this also. --MadEddy 12:17, 7 March 2007 (PST)

While www.mediawiki.org as a whole is indeed licensed under GFDL, help itself is explicite available in public domain. More about it here. Thar 07:10, 21 July 2008 (PDT)

[edit] Polish (??) addition

I removed the following lines:

==== External Plugins Summaries ==== * Template:Filter : A summary table that shows up at the top-right of the page, showing essential information for the plugin (Author, Version, Download Link, Category, Requirements, License). Wtyczki podsumowania zewnętrzne ==== ==== * Szablon: Filtr: tabela pokazuje, że nawet w prawym górnym rogu strony, pokazując istotne informacje dla wtyczki (Autor, wersja Pobierz kategorii , Wymagania, licencja).

and replaced it by something else. If this is not correct and you want something else. Please discuss it here. Wilbert 14:03, 23 August 2008 (PDT)

[edit] Special:Captcha

Special:Captcha/help states that an administrator can help resolve issues with the CAPTCHA. But contacting an administrator even through editing his user talk page requires successfully completing a CAPTCHA. So where is the button to contact the administrator other than through editing the wiki? --Tepples 12:53, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

It's practically impossible to contact the administrator, and unfortunately I can't help you with such issues. What kind of problems do you have? Wilbert 16:08, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

It's time-consuming: I have to wait for the image to download, read it, select the text field, type the text, and click submit again. And I need to repeat the whole process when I confuse 'i'ndia for 'l'ima. And if I have to do so for every piddly little edit, that makes me not feel like going to the trouble to share my discoveries.

• Wikipedia and other WMF wikis are configured to show CAPTCHA only for creating accounts and for adding external links to articles. Avisynth Wiki is configured to show CAPTCHA for every edit in every namespace.
• Wikipedia and other WMF wikis are configured not to show CAPTCHA to autoconfirmed users. Avisynth Wiki is configured to show CAPTCHA to autoconfirmed users who are not administrators.
• Wikipedia provides a form to request an account that posts the request to the mailing list. It requires a valid e-mail address but no CAPTCHA. Wikimedia Commons has no such automated mechanism, but the help desk page is editable without CAPTCHA. Avisynth Wiki has no such mechanism.

One might argue that "blind people shouldn't be using a video tool such as AviSynth", but one can do a lot with just WavSource(), timeline editing, and audio filters. I'm not blind, but first they came for the blind people... --Tepples 02:47, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

I agree. CAPTCHA must be disabled for "good" users group, probably with manual registering by site sysops. The CAPTCHA introducing history is at: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1014453#post1014453 We need change some code. Unfortunately, our site admin is busy last year(s). You may try contact him by phone, which is at avisynth.org domain registration info (use WHOIS service). I am not good in spoken English :) Fizick 18:33, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
