May 17, 2004 - There's a new feature to help identify users who make changes to a page.
It's based on cookies.
- Go to http://mini.net/wru.cgi and enter your initials (up to 8 letters/digits) and email address.
- You'll receive an email with a confirmation URL in it.
- Visiting that URL will lead you to a page which sets a cookie in your browser.
- From them on, page changes will be tagged with your initials on the Recent Changes page.
Note:
- If you use wiki.tcl.tk as URL, you'll have to set things up through http://wiki.tcl.tk/wru.cgi instead.
- If you use both, you'll need to go through this exercise twice (sorry, that's a cookie limitation).
- This also works with dynamic IP's, the initial origin when registering is not enforced, just mentioned.
FYI:
- The cookie contains initials, email address, IP address of request, and a special checksum.
- It's used for precisely one purpose: to maintain a minimal identity / traceability, in page edits.
- There is no database (just a log), this stores data in your browser, not on this site.
香港[L1 ]奖券是香港奖券管理局委托香港赛马会经办的一种奖券游戏。自1975年推出以来，[L2 ]为香港政府库房及奖券基金带来超过180亿港元的收入（仅在1999／2000年度，款额已达7亿5,000万港元），多年来惠泽无数慈善机构。过去25年来，[L3 ]奖券基金的拨款总额超过53亿港元，[L4 ]向政府缴付的奖券博彩税总额超过131亿港元。[L5 ]奖券为一种由47个号码选取六个之电脑化奖券游戏，逢星期二及星期四晚上八时二十五分举行搅珠(若有大彩池或在暑期则会更改)。搅珠过程会由无线电视即场转播。马会搅珠结果热线(1888)。[L6 ]奖券彩票在所有马会投注处发售，[L7 ]亦可透过电话及投注宝下注。
RHS 24Nov2004 Is the code to handle this functionality available for public consumption. I see that the newer versions of wikit have code to recognize user names (wru changes), but the wru.cgi and whatever the file named in $env(WIKIT_WRU) are both unavailable. I ask because I'd like to have this functionality for a wiki I help maintain, and I'd rather not have to reinvent the wheel.
