It's usually styled PyPI. I can't handle these things personally; the best way is to contact the mailing list, which I've cc'd in. ChrisA

Removing/disabling inactive users from wiki.python.org
by M.-A. Lemburg Nov. 8, 2016

Nov. 8, 2016

Hello, I have just upgraded the moin package on wiki.python.org to 1.9.9. As part of this, we now have a new maintenance command to disable or remove inactive users. According to the tool inactive users are users who have never edited a page on the wiki. For wikis such as the PSF one, people do need a login to see some of the pages, and editing is not necessarily done by everyone. On the main wiki, I'm not aware of pages which are protected by ACLs to require login to see (only to edit). For Jython, I don't know at all, so won't touch this. Since we currently have more than 88k user records for the Python wiki, but only 4k active users, I'd like to experiment this command, even though it's dangerous. My feeling is that the slowness of the wiki is largely caused by the many user records we have. Moin appears to these for subscriptions when making edits to pages. We have three options: 1. leave everything as is 2. disable all but the 4k active users who have made edits 3. remove all but the 4k active users who have made edits Of course, we'd run a backup before applying any of this, to be able to revert in case people complain.

But when it does, you should be able to log in. I've given you editing access under that name. ChrisA
