<div dir="ltr"><div>I did setup a wiki and have a look at this briefly. Can you confirm what extensions you are loading? When you setup the wiki it generates a localsettings.php file that lists the extensions:<br><br><br><br><img alt="Inline image 1" src="cid:ii_1530ce4756c8606e" height="251" width="578"><br><br># Enabled Extensions. Most extensions are enabled by including the base extension file here<br># but check specific extension documentation for more details<br># The following extensions were automatically enabled:<br>wfLoadExtension( 'ConfirmEdit' );<br>wfLoadExtension( 'InputBox' );<br>wfLoadExtension( 'SpamBlacklist' );<br>wfLoadExtension( 'TitleBlacklist' );<br>wfLoadExtension( 'WikiEditor' );<br><br></div>I think if you have that ConfirmEdit extension you can enable captcha when creating new pages / editing existing ones. In addition, there do seem to be some spam extensions that come built in.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">J.P.

<br>
Spam pages now outnumber content pages on our wiki.<br>
<br>
I have stopped trying to keep up with deleting them, after putting in many, many hours.<br>
<br>
<br>
Is there any chance someone can make the configuration changes I posted a couple weeks back, as an emergency measure?<span class="im HOEnZb"><br>
<br>
<br>
* update Apache web server configuration to block all spammer IPs in lists available from <a href="http://www.stopforumspam.com" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">www.stopforumspam.com</a> . Alternate, use the mediawiki plugin that does the same: <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:StopForumSpam" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:StopForumSpam</a><br>

* Configre the ConfirmEdit extension to set it to display a CAPTCHA when creating a new page:<br>

Is there anyone who can help with this? There's still a ton of spam<br>
going in, and manually cleaning it is a ton of effort.<br>

OK, so, MediaWiki nas a nice manual on how to combat spam (<br>

Would it be possible to get these implemented:<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
Since about 11th January, wiki.o.o has been under attack by spammers.<br>
<br>
They're creating new pages at a rate of more than 50 a day, with titles<br>
that hint at calling certain phone numbers for various services.<br>
<br>
If you look at<br>
<br>
<a href="https://wiki.openstack.org/w/index.php?title=Special:NewPages" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://wiki.openstack.org/w/index.php?title=Special:NewPages</a><br>
<br>
you'll see them.<br>
<br>
It's across more than a dozen user accounts. I'm going to attempt some<br>
cleaning, but we probably need to look for an extension to do something<br>
about this pro-actively.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>
<br>
Tom<br>
