Just heard from Barry Abrahamson of Automattic/WordPress about the issue of protecting the Codex from the spammers who revert their own spammy intrusions into the Codex:
- - - - - - - - - Did a few things: 1) Added robots.txt as Jeremy suggested. 2) Enabled the revision delete permission for syspos -- you can read more here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:RevisionDelete This should allow you to easily hide the contents of a spam revision from the history, etc. - - - - - - - - - - Thanks, Barry!!!!! This should help. Please report in if you are having any trouble with these changes.
