SPAM fighting

CAPTCHA

This wiki uses ReCAPTCHA extension to restrict registrations, anonymous edits and so on to protect from automated bots.

Patrolling for SPAM and bogus changes

Use this URL to monitor for changes on the site and patrolling:

http://www.webperformancecentral.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=Special:RecentChanges&limit=500&days=600&hidepatrolled=1

It will show all un-patrolled edits with red exclamation points ! next to it. If you're in the "patrollers" group, go and mark the edit as patrolled (click "mark as patrolled" link on diff page for the edit) if it's OK and it'll disappear from the list above.

New pages have !N next to it to indicate that it's both page creation edit and it was not patrolled. These new pages can be seen separately on this page:

http://www.webperformancecentral.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=Special:NewPages&hideredirs=0&hidepatrolled=1

New pages have "Mark as patrolled" link on it (as there is no diff page for it).

Rolling back changes

If edit in question is latest then you can simply click "roll back" next to the edit to undo spammy change - this will remove it from history completely.

If page was new, then just simply delete it (put SPAM in a comment).

Blocking spammers

If user was spamming the wiki, it's a good idea to block them so they don't do that again - just click "block" link next to user's name. You might want to check the rest of the "contributions" for the user to make sure you cleaned up all of them.
