Hi,

Since about 11th January, wiki.o.o has been under attack by spammers.

They're creating new pages at a rate of more than 50 a day, with titles 
that hint at calling certain phone numbers for various services. As a 
result, google has started de-ranking o.o :)

If you look at

https://wiki.openstack.org/w/index.php?title=Special:NewPages

you'll see them.

It's across more than a dozen user accounts. I'm going to attempt some 
manual cleaning, but we probably need to look for an extension to do 
something about this pro-actively.



Regards,


Tom
