The OBA Wiki subscribes to the MediaWiki and Wikipedia principle of "be bold", meaning that you should feel free to edit or create any article which you genuinely believe to be relevant to the wiki. Nevertheless, we will deal with any any user account created for the express purpose of posting only irrelevant information.
Legitimate subscribers to the wiki have nothing to fear. If you start by making reasonable edits on the Wiki, or by setting up your "User:" page to describe yourself and your connection with Boston Grammar School, you can later start to be a bit more edgy and controversial. Any inappropriate edits may still be questioned, or even reverted, but indefinite blocking is unlikely unless your behaviour is extreme.
Due to a large amount of spam that has been posted recently this wiki has been closed to the creation of new user accounts, and existing users are not currently able to make edits. This is a regrettable situation and normal service will resume as soon as adequate spam prevention measures are in place. In the meantime please continue to use it as a read-only resource. Sorry for any inconvenience.
