Notes on addressing spam…
If you can't do any of this because you're lacking permissions, talk to Dave.
Measures
- Enabled ConfirmEdit to use QuestyCaptcha (more), leaving the default configuration (used only upon account creation and linking outside the site)
Historic: Tried $wgEmailConfirmToEdit 2013-01-31, but found ineffective, so disabled (default)
Monitor
- Watch the "Recent Changes" feed
- Check the list of users and new user contributions
Clean
- Users are "deleted" by merging with user, "Anonymous" via Special:UserMerge (from extention, "User Merge and Delete")
- Pages are deleted through the page "Delete" option in the top nav dropdown (beside "View history") (available to users in the "Administrator" group)
* Recent History entries related to spam and its cleanup can be hidden from the default view by marking them as "bot" actions. This is done by visiting Special:RecentChangesCleanup (cross referencing with Special:RecentChanges) Extension retired 2018-06
