Someone spammed my home page so I looked at recent ontoworld.org edits from anonymous IP addresses. 61.144.122.45 removed all the '+' signs from http://ontoworld.org/wiki/Help:Selection The same IP removed the '+' sign from the phone number in http://ontoworld.org/wiki/Faisal_alkhateeb ; user "Langec" reverted the same vandalism a few days ago. Why are vandal bots repeatedly removing plus signs? The same IP also deleted most of http://ontoworld.org/wiki/Microformats, this is the third time the same deletion has been made. The same IP also chopped out a lot of http://ontoworld.org/wiki/Fernanda_Lima But this page was the only contribution from another anonymous IP, and it doesn't seem related to any other work on ontoworld.org. Are vandal bots vandalizing each other? -- =S |

hi, to prevent our wiki from spam, it helped a lot including another mediawiki extension: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ConfirmEdit which as soon as links to external urls are used in the newly edited text, on 'save article' asks for the sum of an random generated equation. cheers, michael |

Good idea. I now set this up on ontoworld, since we also had a lot of spam= =20 recently. Of course if vandalism persists as a major problem, further metho= ds=20 will be needed (since ConfirmEdit by default just checks edits with new URL= s=20 in them).
