I recommend that it be upgraded to MediaWiki version 1.17 when it is released (soon). http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-l/2011-June/037503.html The new account spam has been a major problem recently. I recommend that we install the OpenID extension, http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:OpenID and use it exclusively for new account authentication, as we have at Sugar Labs: http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/index.php?title=Special:OpenIDLogin&returnto=Special:UserLogin (The Loginprompt system message http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/MediaWiki:Loginprompt is modified to direct those seeking new accounts to the OpenID page.) Existing users needn't change their accounts. Best wishes, --Fred (wiki.sugarlabs.org coordinator)
