I saw that you added a redirect to the top of Main_Page that leads to [[Special:Block/PiotrGrochowski]]. This wiki has a very open policy, just like it did at Wikispaces. It is easy for anyone to join and contribute. If you want to experiment and try to break things, feel free to do that with your own installation of MediaWiki, or on the dev site.

:Some experiments however are not possible in dev. Compare [[:en:2 1]] and [[:dev:2 1]]. [[User:PiotrGrochowski|PiotrGrochowski]] ([[User talk:PiotrGrochowski|talk]]) 10:38, 22 September 2018 (UTC)

:: Piotr, the thing is, this website gets a lot of visitors, so when you break the Main Page, it interferes with people's ability to see the site unless you change it back really fast. Why did you have the Main Page redirect to [[Special:Block/PiotrGrochowski]]? What was your experiment there? If you are going to do an experiment, do it on dev -- if you really can't do it on dev, and it's important, then you have to try to do it in a way that doesn't interfere with others - everyone who went to xen.wiki got sent to the Block page and couldn't see the wiki while you changed it! Those kinds of experiments are dangerous. The rule is you must ''clean up after yourself'' if you do anything like that here.
