--- Comment #30 from Dereckson <[email protected]> --- (In reply to comment #12) > Dereckson: I didn't understand your comment 8, could you elaborate / clarify > what you'd like to see / which concerns you expressed? The logical steps to allow a very restrictive editing measure is: (1) try with existing installed tools to fight vandalism (2) if that doesn't work, see if we can't use a combo of the existing tools to fight against vandalism (extensions like AbuseFilter, bots like Salebot on fr. or Cluebot on en.) (3) if that doesn't work, see if there are possibilities to develop or adapt something new (as we're neither on fr. or en., ask the bots owner if it's possible to port them for a new wiki for example) (4) if that doesn't work, restrict editing more. These steps are needed because the natural wiki way is to let anyone make contributions. Each time we restrict that, we go against this natural way. So we've to be very careful and evaluate cost/benefits of such measures. My comment were a question to get more community feedback to determine if we were in such a situation. Vito replied with an explanation some steps from 2 were tried and 3 pending. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
