history pages

[150d]

Hi,

I just noticed today that I can't access the "View History" pages on the Wiki any more. Instead of the page, there just is a access denied/login prompt.

Since I'm still playing on Factorio v1.1.110 these pages are important to me. Is there another way to get access to those old page versions?

Regards

"View History" works fine while logged-in.

While logged-out:

You must be logged in to perform this action or view this special page.

I am guessing this is related to the Search being disabled on the Forums temporarily.

You can just Create/Request a Wiki account. There is a manual approval process (a human employee must click Approve) which takes a few hours.

Thanks for the hint. I've just requested an account; waiting for the manual approval is no issue. I was just afraid those old pages would be gone entirely. Very happy to hear that they're not.

Sorry about the inconvenience, this is indeed DDoS protection for logged out users. Everything works as usual if you have an account. I've just returned from break and your account request is now approved.

We're looking into whether we can relax the DDoS protection.
