The captcha extension is now in operation. You will need to answer a simple math problem to edit or create pages or to register a new wiki user.

Bad Behavior extension and the Bad Behavior 2 Extended report special page are installed and seem to be working.

It seems the anti-spam measures have left the wiki eerily quiet. The admin-only report generate by Bad Behavior shows a large number of wiki requests being rejected. Well and good if that's all spam.
However, if you get a legitimate request blocked, please report it here and we will try to tune. |

Hi Meyer,
Cracking work, well done. Some of us are still editing pages... |

SpamBlacklist wiki extension has been installed and appears to be functioning. This extension checks URIs included in edits and blocks the edit if any URI match an entry in a list of forbidden words.
This extension is the last of the planned anti-spam measures. If no problems crop up, this will be the last functional change to the wiki until further notice. |

![]() The anti-spam measures went into operation on October the 24th, if my memory serves me correctly. Today is the 19th of November. There hasn't been a successful spam attack at the Wiki in that time. I suppose that we are still vulnerable to a 'live' spammer but that should be easy to spot, delete and block. ![]() Congratulations again Meyer: let's hope that you can return to productive work on the Wiki and to the tinkering with your 860s! ![]() |

I can't take any credit, but am glad the wiki extensions are working as advertised. It's good to see nothing but improvements on the Recent Changes page.
