Hi PCMan (FTP admin) and others, Again, a lot of spam was there on the LXDE Wiki. Wiki13, also admin, suggests: * Upgrading the wiki, to properly install the extensions below * Installing additional extensions: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:AntiBot https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ConfirmEdit https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SimpleAntiSpam https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SpamBlacklist https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Title_Blacklist * Getting rid of the proxy (if possible) * Installing checkuser (useless if proxy is there) - allows for investigating spamming IP's I hope you will reply soon. Spam is getting worser every day. About +- 30 articles a day that need to be removed. @ PCMan: If you need help, don't hesitate to ask. Smile4ever |

I use AbuseFilter (for MediaWiki) on Appropedia, and it's great. It's used on Wikipedia, so it's very stable. I mainly set it to only filter edits by anons and brand new editors, but I also give a warning/suggestion notice to anyone who blanks a page. If someone installs it, and gives me rights to the AbuseFiter, I can add the filter code that is working well on Appropedia, and I'm available to help when new filters need to be added. Ideally you'll also have someone with deletion rights to check every day or two. Monitoring Special:NewPages <http://wiki.lxde.org/en/Special:NewPages>is also good because most spam comes as new pages.

Hi, Thanks for your reply! It's worth considering and I will talk to the LXDE wiki FTP admin to perform the installation of AbuseFilter. Once installed, I can give you the rights needed to add those filters. (I'm wiki admin on the LXDE wiki) I'm already monitoring the recent changes with an RSS news feed. There are a few pages spam a day now, so it's a lot better already then it was (thanks to other extensions).

It was installed today (or yesterday - it's how you see the timezones). Can you help out a bit? :) Please let me know what your nickname is on wiki.lxde.org so that I can give you admin rights.
