Hi All,
Since upgrading my wiki to the latest version and forcing a password to be
required for all edits (including the sandbox) my wiki-spam has dropped to
0. They still try it (the stats show the access attempts) but thus far not
one spam - great!
The edit password is displayed in the sidebar as pplai text. I was prepared
to use a captcha but it has not yet been necessary. My users don't seem to
object to using the password either, particularly since they don't need to
register to use it.
I guess that, sooner or later, the spammers will wise up but until then I
can relax a little.
Now to upgrade the rest of the wiki farm.....
Regards
David
