Publishing on the Wiki

When you edit any page in the wiki, you are publishing a document. This is a public act, and you are identified within the endev.info community with that edit as its author.

Identification of an Author

If you are logged in, you will be identified by your user name you selected when you created your account.

Passwords

User passwords are the only guarantee of the integrity of a user's edit history. All users are encouraged to select strong passwords and to never share them. No one shall knowingly expose the password of another user to public release either directly or indirectly.

User Data

Data on users, such as the times at which they edited and the number of edits they have made are publicly available via "user contributions" lists, and in aggregated forms published by other users.

Removal of User Accounts

Once created, user accounts will not be removed. It may be possible for a username to be changed (depending on the policies of your local wiki). The Wikimedia Foundation does not guarantee that a name will be changed on request.

Whether specific user information is deleted is dependant on the deletion policies of the project that contains the information.

Deletion of Content

Removing text from Wikimedia projects (like endev.info) does not permanently delete it. In normal articles, anyone can look at a previous version and see what was there. If an article is "deleted", any user with "administrator" access on the wiki, meaning almost anyone trusted not to abuse the deletion capability, can see what was deleted. Information can be permanently deleted by those people with access to the servers, but there is no guarantee this will happen except in response to legal action.

Secutity of Information

The endev.info team makes no guarantee against unauthorized access to any information you provide. This information may be available to anyone with access to the servers. As the whole endev.info communication platform is password protected, it is  unlikely that anyone can access the system.
