It would be cool to have a polymath logo to replace "set $wgLogo to the URL path...".


Spam seems to be quite a problem. Most (all?) of the spam is coming from anonymous accounts.  What would other people think about changing the wiki settings so only people logged in can make edits?  On many wikis this greatly reduces (but does not necessarily entirely eliminate) spam. If I get a couple of affirmative responses from active editors, I'll make the change.

I would be in favour of requiring log in. I have deleted spam entries and restored entries overwritten by spam more or less daily. (Klas Markström)


Klas - Thanks for the reply.  If one or two more people are in agreement, and no-one disagrees, then I'll make the change.--[[User:WikiSysop|WikiSysop]] 16:49, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

To the issue: it wasn't at all clear that you were proposing a collaborative evaluation of his proof. Now that you have, I quite agree that it'd be good to have a sensible process for proposing problems on the wiki. At the moment those have mostly been going on the page Other proposed projects, which is linked prominently on the main page. At present I don't see a problem with putting this proposal on that page. What do you think? MichaelNielsen 01:08, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
Over the longer run (and independent of this particular proposal), there is a real issue, which is that we need some better process for deciding what's a reasonable way of proposing projects, which is both open enough, but also doesn't waste people's time on uninteresting proposals. This seems like a tricky balance to get right. In an ideal world, wiki software would make it so users only saw things which will be of interest to them. Unfortunately, we don't yet live in that world. MichaelNielsen 01:11, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
