Actually, the MediaWiki login is pretty simplistic and just requires filling and submitting an HTML form. What I would really like (and would require some code modification) is to have an email handshake before one can edit pages. > Fortunately for me, our mediawiki is enhanced by the efficient > spam-fighting utility called Shlomi Fish ;-) > Well, not just that, but I also enabled the MediaWiki Spam Blacklist utility. I periodically fetch the blacklist from the Wikimedia meta-wiki, and I also recently started adding URLs we've been spammed with recently to a private collection.
