Hello,

with the new wiki, we have some more options for fighting wiki spam that
I'd like to share with you.

As usual, on http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Special:RecentChanges we
see a nice list of recent activities, unfortunately also with a nice
list of recent spams.

Most of the time, it is one user spamming. In order to delete all pages
created by that user, you can use the extension available at
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Special:Nuke - simply enter the
user's name, and a list of all his pages are shown. Beware that pages
you mark there will be *deleted*. In case a valid page was spammed
afterwards, changes will not be reverted back, but the whole page is
deleted.


Ok, then I can delete the whole work of Uroveits who has more 
contributions than I, to get in front of him? Or everybody can delete 
the work of floeff?


It's a joke but with a serious background. (I will hopely never delete 
the work).


Shouldn't we fix it with permissions?

[libreoffice-website] deleting wiki spam

Hello,

with the new wiki, we have some more options for fighting wiki spam that 
I'd like to share with you.

afterwards, changes will not be reverted back, but the whole page is

If we want to get rid of the registered users, another extension comes 
in handy, which is http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Special:UserMerge 
Using this extension, you can merge the spamming user to anonymous, 
effectively deleting them out of the database.


Hope that helps a bit in combating spam!
