Hi guys,
I've cleanup the deleted pages, were down to about 740 pages,
mostly good stuff:
https://docs.google.com/a/lattica.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AmY-Kp_Ihu3idFNEOUt0UkVGUko4elhkOHVoaWx2OWc#gid=5
Please check it out, lemme know if any spam is still left standing.
Any ideas on how we can attack the spam users?
Dimi.

OK, we might be onto something. I've wrote a script
to determine the deleted pages: 20162.
Should I just go ahead and nuke those?
Probably, yes.
One common way for spammers to abuse wikis is to intentionally get the
pages deleted, so that they live on permanently in the revision
history.
See this example from today:
It's rightfully deleted as spam:
http://wiki.winehq.org/SheriOci
But the "Get Info" link leads you to the old revision, with the
linkspam intact:
http://wiki.winehq.org/SheriOci?action=recall&rev=1
I don't know if there's a way to keep Moinmoin from preserving
revision history on deleted pages, but it might be sufficient to
simply disable that. I doubt there's much useful history on deleted
pages anyway.
seems done, and know what? The wiki seems to be more than 10 times faster. (i
tried e.g. editing -> preview)
good choice!
Thanks Dimi for working on this!!!
