A wiki invites everyone to help, which means you’ll occasionally need to steer things — approve a change, undo a bad one, or stop a persistent troublemaker. Wikigit gives you light-touch tools for all of it, and sensible defaults so you rarely have to think about it.
Who can edit edit
By default, edits from newcomers are submitted for your review rather than going live instantly, while people you trust can publish directly. You choose how open or cautious to be.
Trust builds up automatically: as someone makes more accepted edits over time, they earn more standing and their changes start going live without review. You can also hand someone trusted-editor status directly, which lets them publish and help you moderate. New accounts get no special treatment — trust is earned by contributing, not by signing up.
Reviewing changes edit
Pending edits wait in a review queue. For each one you can see exactly what’s changing and then approve it or set it aside. Wikigit also flags edits that look risky — large deletions, brand-new pages, rapid back-and-forth — so the ones worth a closer look rise to the top. Marking an edit as reviewed clears it from the queue.
Undoing mistakes edit
Because every version is kept, fixing a bad edit is easy:
- Undo a single change to put a page back the way it was.
- Restore any earlier version of a page.
- Roll back everything one person changed in a single sweep, if needed.
None of this loses history — the undo is itself just another saved version.
Protecting pages edit
Lock down a page that shouldn’t change freely — your home page, a policy page, a finished article. Set its protection so only trusted editors (or only maintainers) can edit it, while the rest of the wiki stays open.
Keeping out trouble edit
- Block a disruptive visitor — across the whole wiki, or just on certain pages.
- Filters let you set automatic rules: flag or refuse edits that, say, blank a page, add known spam links, or match a pattern you choose.
- An optional auto-moderator can quietly undo edits that look clearly like vandalism, within limits you set, so obvious junk never sticks. It’s off until you turn it on.
- If something genuinely bad was posted, you can hide a name or a specific version from the public lists.
Every moderation action is recorded in an activity log, so you and your fellow maintainers always have a clear account of what was done and by whom.
You’re not doing this alone edit
All of these tools live in one place — see The admin area — and you can share the load by granting trusted-editor status to people who’ve earned it.
