Students at my school are to be given access to wikipedia during their exam. But I forese a problem. The students who go early can look up the answers and message or edit wikipedia pages to help the ones who are still taking the exam. [21:40:51] examchat, maybe you can give them access through a proxy that doesn't allow POST method to go through? [21:42:27] Or use Kiwix :) [21:42:28] thank you, but the students can go home after the exam and edit wikipedia from there [21:51:39] Krenair: so when addWiki.php is run, it's running in the context of a wiki that already exists right? [21:51:46] yep [21:51:54] typically aawiki when you're making an s3 wiki [21:52:21] to get the s3 db made and tables created etc. [21:53:44] Krenair: ok, so I should be able to use Echo code at that time right? [21:54:09] should be able to [21:54:13] mainly to get the db connection [22:01:33] examchat, ok... yes, students can go home and edit wikipedia after exams. what's your point? the exam will be over [22:01:47] not if there are multiple sessions [22:01:58] anyway, Kiwix solved the issue (see #kiwix) [22:03:47] wat? [22:03:54] multiple sessions? [22:04:21] wrong word maybe [22:04:55] if different students take the test on different days [22:26:44] legoktm, ... the same test at different times? [22:26:51] who the hell thought that would be a good idea?
