I thought I changed the settings on there and added captcha stuff at least. Mediawiki is a pile. I don't mind saying it publicly. If anyone knows how to configure it better I am all ears. I need to look to see what I did to it, I had made changes to that around the same time as another wiki and may be getting confused. I had tried a couple anti-spam modules but couldn't even confirm if they were working 100% (see comment about MW being a pile)
