Except it's not stagnant because there's a sea of anons still editing it. The quality of their edits is overall terrible, but since when is a search engine capable of distinguishing the quality of the material it is indexing?

Can you change permissions?

On the new wiki? Sure. What's that supposed to accomplish?

On the old wiki, no. Any action taken to hinder editing of it would be viewed as vandalism and my admin permissions would be revoked, as happened to admins on the other moving wikis.

Speaking of anons... Aren't derelict wikis good carrion for the spambots and vandalbots? Isn't this what is going to happen to the site ultimately? Or is it well-protected? :)

Really.. if you could change the permissions to be more open, the spam bots could sabotage the site in to oblivion.

Wikia has good spambot protection. I think they must simply maintain a huge blacklist of bad IPs (possibly mirrored from sites such as StopForumSpam).

That said, they are occasionally subject to attacks from trolls and vandals. It's kinda rare that this goes on a scale large enough to truly damage the wiki; and if that happens then the wikia staff can notice it and mop up the damage.

Allow me to reiterate that the wiki team will not accept vandalism of the old site; even if we want it to drop down its page rank and disappear from first page results. Vandalism just is not the way to go.

I have just added a link to the Wiki on my homepage, that might help a little. According to the linkExtend toolbar, the PR for http://doomwiki.org/ is 4, which is better than mine which is 3. But all quality links help.

Wikia is apparently hosting some kind of webinar on May 9 about improving SEO: https://www3.gotomeeting.com/register/774078086 .

Big bump, sorry.

Everyone or some should link to the new wiki in forum signatures around the web, as crawlers will definitely pick those up over time and increase the rank of the site.

Unless of course all URLs on forums are of nofollow type.
