Hi all,
Spam pages now outnumber content pages on our wiki.
I have stopped trying to keep up with deleting them, after putting in
many, many hours.
Is there any chance someone can make the configuration changes I posted
a couple weeks back, as an emergency measure?
* 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

going in, and manually cleaning it is a ton of effort.

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:

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
