 i've redirected in the neighbourhood of 2k spam pages since last week, and the pages keep coming. i don't see the point in continuing to try to keep up manually with what i am assuming is a spam-bot at work.
to see the incoming spam: http://galaxylegion.com/wiki/index.php? ... deredirs=1 is there any way to IP-block these ? here is the anti-spam section from the wiki FAQ: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:FAQ#Anti-spam if there IS a wikiadmin around, these accounts are spammer accounts from the last week or so that i managed to clean up, up until today: 019shabnormassamronbash193 Arwubnig14 Bgerard28 Brdelprete20 Cojan21 ColletteLashaun829 DavidJohnson-Jones EraByran505 ErnestineRHewitt5 EuniceABennett3 FerdinandPuccio157 Gamandelbaum91 GaraventaGamons628 Gashirilla23 HarryArt HenriksenRex524 HerlindaPaltanavage IsachsenAntolin215 Jalrich44 Jococanougher68 Jorkmaor Jsplinter59 KepleyTolbert769 LambiaseBua LassereHolten430 Loeidt2 MangesAndujar162 MedranoKristopher999 McanallenBurmester454 MccullerKilian186 MegivernFranzone342 Mforrer80 MieshaRosella844 Msanchez66 NewallPrecise670 OkanoSamms311 Omizwicki83 OxnerLykes Petracey99 PeggyJohnson PortenRathert603 Radamian1 RihnMiolen664 RothoveStromyer496 ScarberrySnider909 SchoenfeldChisholm939 SevickJimeno690 SloatGaskins959 Tejoaquin7 TrudeauDarlena911 VelvetMcelhattan776 VreelandKauppi329 WalterRNoack8 WirtanenKral947 Wtande7 there is an extension called Nuke that might work to clean these up: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Nuke also, AutoWikiBrowser for a windows setup: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser and some more wiki antispam resources: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6748 ... awiki-spam http://www.umasswiki.com/wiki/UMassWiki ... _Mediawiki http://semanticweb.org/wiki/semanticweb ... hting_spam http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Spam http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Anti-spam ... ng_up_spam _________________ Rank 3950 Litheor Governor 100% DCR r385-r2200 GL Marauder #26 _____________  PvP leaderboards: 70212 raids: #1; 40852 kills: #1; 96377 hacks: #3; Last edited by senatorhung on Wed Nov 21, 2012 2:24 pm, edited 2 times in total. |

I'm always on the wiki, and I make pages all the time but I hate seeing spam come flooding in daily. There is a way to make it so that Admins must approve a page but until Dan activates it and either you or I or some other ACTUAL contributor of the Wiki gets permission to do this and moved to the admin group spam will continue flooding in. I know this because I manage another Wiki for a work in progress game. Every page must get approved by an Admin.

What if the first edit/page creation a user makes HAS to be approved by an admin? That should solve a lot of the problems too. Not sure if there would be an option for that. If the first edit/page addition is obviously spam, simply delete the user and IP ban.
