openSUSE Release Process » openSUSE Leap 42.2 Release

Editing of both wiki pages is blocked atm.
english one from abuse filter.

I've unlocked the German one temporarily. No idea about the English one. Christian, any idea?

you may also send me the wiki text, I can add it still

Looks like one of the AccessManager auth proxy IPs isn't on the whitelist yet. I just unblocked it.

(Actually I'm aware that there are two /24 subnets that are used by AccessManager, while the wiki only whitelists 4 IPs - but it's easier/faster to unlock an IP once a month than pushing a wiki config change through the Provo paperwork.)

@Ludwig: IP blocks are ignored for wiki admins - that's why you were still able to edit ;-)

does that blocking affect the whole English wiki? We are asking people to help polishing the 42.2 pages, so would be bad if the couldn't actually edit :)

Yes, IP blocks affect the whole wiki - otherwise they would be pointless ;-)

Interestingly complaints about being IP-blocked always came from SUSE employees, so it seems community users are less likely to hit the wiki with this specific AccessManager IP. Note that we are talking about (IIRC) n=4 here, so I wouldn't call it statistically significant ;-)

BTW: You (and all other wiki admins) can unblock such IP blocks on https://en.opensuse.org/Special:BlockList
