hello. Why do you change the links to {{http}} ?

Because most spammers try to add pages to this wiki that contain external links, and they always have the text http:// in them. To prevent that, I am blocking every edit that contains this "bad word". Sure, there are better ways to do this, but this server is still stuck to PHP4, and recent MediaWiki versions (with good anti-spam extensions) require PHP5. --Roland Illig (Admin) 17:12, 8 November 2007 (CET)
From now on, external links can be written as usual. --Roland Illig (Admin) 10:21, 9 November 2007 (CET)
