Hi, our wiki has been the target of spam recently: links to random commercial websites were added to wiki pages *and* to the commit messages.
As emergency measures, I - rewrote the Git history to delete the spammy commits - asked the server administrators to switch the wiki from "anonymous edit mode" to "signin edit mode", i.e. editing requires logging, and creating an account if necessary. I really would like to be able to switch back to anonymous edit mode. The blogspam [0] ikiwiki plugin would probably help. I had a quick look to the ikiwiki source code and it seems to me this plugin checks the commit messages as well as the page text. This plugin uses the blogspam.net [1] API, which means it would send any submitted content to an external server. I don't think this is a problem in our case as: - the whole wiki content is anyway public - the web server uses mod_removeip, i.e. our ikiwiki never has the knowledge of a contributor's IP. Please voice your feelings thoughts, ideas, agreement and disagreement on this if needed. In case no-one objects, I'll ask the server admins to enable the blogspam plugin on our wiki.
