For wiki.o.o, I believe this is at:

I did setup a wiki and have a look at this briefly.   Can you confirm
what extensions you are loading?  When you setup the wiki it generates a
localsettings.php file that lists the extensions:

# Enabled Extensions. Most extensions are enabled by including the base
extension file here
# but check specific extension documentation for more details
# The following extensions were automatically enabled:
wfLoadExtension( 'ConfirmEdit' );
wfLoadExtension( 'InputBox' );
wfLoadExtension( 'SpamBlacklist' );
wfLoadExtension( 'TitleBlacklist' );
wfLoadExtension( 'WikiEditor' );

I think if you have that ConfirmEdit extension you can enable captcha
when creating new pages / editing existing ones.  In addition, there do
seem to be some spam extensions that come built in.

    Hi all,

    Spam pages now outnumber content pages on our wiki.

    I have stopped trying to keep up with deleting them, after putting
    in many, many hours.


    Is there any chance someone can make the configuration changes I
    posted a couple weeks back, as an emergency measure?


    *  update Apache web server configuration to block all spammer IPs
    in lists available from www.stopforumspam.com
    <http://www.stopforumspam.com> . Alternate, use the mediawiki plugin
    that does the same:
    https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:StopForumSpam

    * Configre the ConfirmEdit extension to set it to display a CAPTCHA
    when creating a new page:

    $wgCaptchaTriggers['create']        = true;



    Regards,


    Tom

            OK, so, MediaWiki nas a nice manual on how to combat spam (
            https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Combating_spam )

            Would it be possible to get these implemented:

                Hi,

                Since about 11th January, wiki.o.o has been under attack
                by spammers.

                They're creating new pages at a rate of more than 50 a
                day, with titles
                that hint at calling certain phone numbers for various
                services.

                If you look at

                https://wiki.openstack.org/w/index.php?title=Special:NewPages

                you'll see them.

                It's across more than a dozen user accounts. I'm going
                to attempt some
                cleaning, but we probably need to look for an extension
                to do something
                about this pro-actively.



                Regards,


                Tom
