I remember some kind of add-on that checks new user names and blocks
any that may be "questionable" - scans for certain keywords, but I
can't locate it right now. If I do find it, I'll post back here with
a link.
Anyone have any thoughts, ideas, comments on this?
Maybe this extension?
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:TitleBlacklist
which has an option:
newaccountonly - forbid creation of matching usernames, but allow page
creation
This would only limit usernames based on a list of unacceptable words
that we would have to create.
Maybe this could be used as part of a larger overall anti-spam solution
which includes Capchas on new user account creation? Or.. something else?
And two additional possibilities:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:AntiSpoof
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Bad_Behavior (which on first
read, appears to be one of the better solutions)
