Charles,
Thanks for the tip. That is a good overview of how to set up
permissions on my wiki.
Unfortunately that's not really what I want. My hope is to block spam
while still allowing anonymous edits. I think that's most in keeping
with the wiki spirit, right?
Basically I'm ok with removing occasional spam pages, as long as there
are mechanisms to prevent more extreme abuse (such as hundreds and
hundreds of spam pages added all at once).
But again, thanks for the pointer.
