Hello all, I'd like to get some feedback on introducing a system of requesting accounts on the Apertium Wiki. At the moment, in order to get an account and edit pages, a user must:
* fill out the registration form * write a Captcha * respond to an automated email. Even with the Captcha and automated email, we still get around 5-10 spam pages a day, and 10-20 spam accounts. Aside from having to delete these pages and block the users, this also fills up the RecentChanges. There is an extension[1] for MediaWiki which requires every account to be approved before being created. This is against the principles of Wiki, but would reduce work for the Wiki admins who are deleting the pages (at the moment mostly me, Unhammer and Bernard). What do people think ?
