Bug #: 38391
Summary: Disable anonymous account creation or enable CheckUser
on beta.wmflabs
Product: Wikimedia Labs
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: jas...@jasperswebsite.co.cc
CC: benap...@gmail.com, rlan...@gmail.com
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
The amount of spam accounts on the beta.wmflabs.org wikis is staggering, partly
because CheckUser is not available to root out their IP addresses as they are
for the main WMF wikis.
If for some reason, CheckUser cannot be enabled, account creation should either
go through the ConfirmAccount extension or otherwise require approval from
existing users, because this spam is too much to deal with.
