Improving the wiki

  • Special:Version reports that you're using a truly ancient version of MediaWiki. It's fast and painless to update.
    • Back everything up (the database and files)
    • delete the maintainance directory.
    • Uncompress the latest version, overwriting the existing files.
    • Edit AdminSettings.php (see AdminSettings.sample for info) to add the database info.
    • cd maintainance;php update.php
  • enable $wgSpamRegex
    • Mine bans all div tags: $wgSpamRegex="/<div/i";
    • You might like: $wgSpamRegex="/overflow\s*:\s*auto/i";
  • Install Bad Behavior my notes .. it's VERY easy to install.

At this point you could probably safely allow anonymous editing again.
