    I have noticed that when you get to the main page of the wiki, you can edit it. This means someone who visits www.beamng.com, they could completely redo the main wiki page. I think that this could be bad, especially if someone deleted the entire page. Then all the data would be gone. I think that members should only be able to edit member made pages, and not beamng made pages. Just a thought, due to the risk of data loss.;):mad:

    Changes can be reverted.
    If somebody tries to grief the wiki, he wins a ban.

    Well, at least the data can be restored from that. I hope nobody would do that, but they deserve to be banned from the website.

    Wait, can someone edit the wiki without an account? Or can it just be any account and it doesn't matter whether they own the game or not?

    Nope, you can only edit the wiki when you are logged into your account. Actually took the time and tested this.

    Ok, because if literally anyone could, then there would be no way to ban people.

    It would be an IP ban. But it would be insane to let just anyone on the internet do it.
