Is that from Zonemaster? It doesn't sound healthy. I will have a word
with the hosts tomorrow.

Scary but anticipated. I don't doubt a few trolls will take potshots if
the wiki gains any traction. Fortunately there are daily backups as
standard on my hosting plan, and Dokuwiki defaults to storing posts in
text files.

The whole shebang is an unofficial 'go-with' to plug a temporary gap in
the current Devuan web resources. If scaling up is required, I will be
the first to call for help with moderation, security and the rest.
Rumour has it there are some very clued-up people on this list :D

Anyway, thanks for the analysis.
