Dear all, My site ( www.indopancing.com/wiki ) just got bombed by spam bots since last week, i already implement re-captcha few days ago on user registration, but still not help. Then, i try protect all access from spam bots:
---cut--- $wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['createaccount'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['user']['edit'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['edit'] = true; # Anonymous users can't create pages $wgGroupPermissions['*']['createpage'] = false; # Only users with accounts four days old or older can create pages # Requires MW 1.6 or higher. $wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['createpage'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['createpage'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['createpage'] = true; ---cut--- Looks like it's working, no spam bots anymore.. Now, the next problem is my wiki site: - Full of user account junk from spam bots - Full of new page creation from spam bots Luckily the spam bots not change/edit my wiki page. I already backup the MySQL database with phpMyAdmin What do you think? 1. Does using http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:BlockandNuke is safe? I just create / edit new page using admin account, there is no other account create / edit page. 2. Actually I prefer do fresh installation of MediaWiki and copy paste 1000 contents from old one to the new one. Because i worry deleting user account / page from spam bots still leave junk in my site. Do you have any sugestion for this problem? Thank you Best Regards, Yudi _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
