Perhaps the page didn't exist prior to the spam? I think it did exist, because the link to the original page has content -- the spammer did not create the content.

However, it presents a problem for wiki's that change infrequently; I guess I can simply increase the retention period. Perhaps the $DiffKeepDays routine can be altered to retain only the 3 or so most recent pages, rather than deleting the entire history? > 3. Perhaps the spammer deleted the page prior to spamming it.

Good point, although I have disabled deleting -- and confirmed that there is no del- page. So sounds like [2] is the likely culprit. I'll increase the retention period. ~ ~ David _______________________________________________ pmwiki-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.pmichaud.com/mailman/listinfo/pmwiki-users
