Title: Wiki Changes -- login required

Hey all - I've make a slight (security) change to the MUScoop wiki (http://wiki.muscoop.com)

Everyone can still view the pages, but you have to login to the wiki to do editing.  There's a login button on the bottom-right of the first page - and your username / password is exactly the same as your main MUScoop password.

Once you login, you should remain logged in for good.

If anyone has any problems, just let me know.

Well, nothing bad really - it's just been on the list as a pretty big security whole for a while.  Frankly, we were lucky no MU hater came by and "tagged" the wiki since it was completely open for editing/deleting/uploading.  Sure I have nightly backups, and the wiki backs up all revisions anyway, but someone could have caused a big headache for us.

Someone did go and delete the Glocca Mora page last weekend (not a big deal), but the reason I did it now was because mu_hilltopper had a MUScoop giveaway idea that would require knowing who edited the most wiki pages  ;)
