It looks like somebody vandalized and erased some pages from the Wiki,
and the URL of the offender seems visible here:
http://kicad.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Special:Recentchanges
1) That's not an URL, it's an IP address.
2) It appears only the main page got nuked
3) I've reverted the damage (basically you do a View Page History on the
affected page, click the date of the most recent non-vandalised page, hit
Edit, then save with an appropriate comment, e.g. "reverted vandalism")
4) If I was the wiki admin I'd be sorely tempted to ban that IP address.
But
I'm not, so I won't. :)
5) Perhaps it's time to set the Wiki to "disable anonymous edits"?
Nice thing about Mediawiki is that it keeps everything. Reverting
vandalism
isn't difficult at all...
