Seems wikis such as wikispaces.com are being blocked by AIBE (DET NSW web filter) today.

After talking to the web filter manager it turns out smart filter (the out sourced web filter used by DET) added wikis to the Dating/Social Networking category.

To counteract this, they have been added wikis to the DET custom category which should in 1 hour or so allow access once again.

Seems that Institute private label wikis such as http://sydneyinstituteonline.net/ are unaffected at this stage.
