We should definitely think about some way to prevent this (cf. e.g. http://moinmo.in/AntiSpamFeatures). Is it feasible to require new wiki accounts be authorized by an admin?

Somebody should employ some kind of spam protection. Several other sourceware-hosted moin wikis have adopted a group-ACL-based protection, which has eliminated the problem. This involves maintaining a special wiki page that lists approved editors (and is editable by those editors). If you're interested in trying this, please send me an initial list of editor WikiNames. - FChE ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread
