Someone changed the wiki FrontPage to an old version
Hello, I keep an interested eye on the PyPy project, and I have just seen that the wiki's FrontPage is considerably shorter than a few days ago. http://codespeak.net/moin/pypy/moin.cgi/RecentChanges shows that the content of FrontPage was reverted to an old version. The page now talks about the "next sprint scheduled in Belgium" ;-) and links to the documentation disappeared. Is this intentional? Hopefully the diffs with the previous version are still available. You're doing a very impressive work... continue! -- Amaury Forgeot d'Arc

Hmmm, it seems that some search engine (inktomisearch) has traversed the site and "tried" the revert links. I reverted back to the last valid change from Anna. Probably we should try to teach the search engines not to follow certain links or so. cheers, holger

I receive automatic notifications of Wiki changes; I am a bit surprised to have been lately receiving several notifications each day, all about the front page. I would strongly suggest to be sure that following random links cannot interfere with the Wiki content. I tend to think that *no* action should *ever* be triggered by mere links, but only by form buttons (preferrably POST ones). A bientot, Armin.

Problem is that this is rather deeply in the moinmoin code and i am not sure i want to mess with it at the moment. It is strange, though, that all other search engines seem to ignore those particular links except in the recent case. If anybody cares enough please open an issue in the tracker and assign it to me. cheers, holger
