Install http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:TitleBlacklist It allows you to set words that cannot appear in page titles, and also words that are not allowed in account names. So you would ban all the words they are using for their accounts, since who would use "No Prescrition" for their account

Hi thanks Haim, That was what I thought too. But I don't know the absolute pathnames. GoDaddy had this to say: Upon review of your account it appears that you do not have a dedicated IP address for your site; therefore you will most likely not want to use the IP address, but instead reference the

Hi, I have been scouting the internet for how to have a common set of Mediawiki files (in one common folder) for all my wikis. Because of the way GoDaddy creates the IP address for each wiki, I believe I have to have the specific LocalSettings.php file inside each individual subfolder (unlike some
