OK, so, MediaWiki nas a nice manual on how to combat spam ( https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Combating_spam )

Would it be possible to get these implemented:

* update Apache web server configuration to block all spammer IPs in lists available from www.stopforumspam.com . Alternate, use the mediawiki plugin that does the same: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:StopForumSpam

* Configre the ConfirmEdit extension to set it to display a CAPTCHA when creating a new page:

$wgCaptchaTriggers['create']        = true;


Regards,


Tom

Hi,

Since about 11th January, wiki.o.o has been under attack by spammers.

They're creating new pages at a rate of more than 50 a day, with titles
that hint at calling certain phone numbers for various services.

If you look at

https://wiki.openstack.org/w/index.php?title=Special:NewPages

you'll see them.

It's across more than a dozen user accounts. I'm going to attempt some
cleaning, but we probably need to look for an extension to do something
about this pro-actively.



Regards,


Tom
