Wagn administration includes maintaining an installation of Wagn on a server, and tasks within a Wagn generally managed by people with the Administrator role.

 

The Administrator+links card is a good place to add information and links and information. Only Administrators can see it by default.

Clearing the cache

 

Problems with the cache can result in people seeing different content on the same from different accounts, or even seeing different content from the same account at different times. To clear the cache, go to:

(your Wagn's base URL)/admin/clear_cache

 

Spam

 

captcha can protect against most non-human spam.

 

If you get an overwhelming number of obviously spammy Sign up, you show them all in open view and thus easily deny them all with a link like this: http://wagn/org/Account_Request+*type+by_update?item=open
