Halo Sergio,
there are two kind of spam attacking the wiki
1. editing existing pages
2. creating new spam pages
for the first type I don't know how to monitor it unless I open the
pages one-by-one to check it.
the second type, I can see the new pages by clicking Special page called
New Pages.
but either of it, all user that used to create or edit the pages is
non-existing, they don't have profile.
If you expertise on MediaWiki and have time to check QMT Wiki page, I
think Jake can grant you a privileges.
I have ask these requirement to be implemented on Wiki but I don't know
will it suffice or not to minimize wikispam
============================
How about we turn on new account's email validation feature?
Please see:
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/wiki/mediawiki/83969
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Combating_spam#Restrict_editing
And restrict no anonymous editing/creating
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Preventing_access#Restrict_anonymous_editing
# Anonymous users can't edit pages
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false;
# Anonymous users can't create pages
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['createpage'] = false;
And can I suggest that the wiki need to be installed by others Antispam
extentions, like:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SimpleAntiSpam
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:AntiBot
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Check_Spambots
and if you mind, please create a crontab to cleanup spam as described here:

A number of people have defaced the qmailtoaster wiki page.
Everyone on the list - can we get some help with this? Pak Ogah and
myself have been working on this for some time - there seem to be a
lot of holes in Mediawiki that we've been working on plugging.
Mediawiki themselves rely on their mass number of members to clean out
any spam added to the their wiki. We need help on ours.
Spam should be blatantly obvious. The QMT project has nothing to do
with car insurance for example, so any links to car insurance may be
removed :)
Thanks.
