Hi,

if you look at

http://wiki.sagemath.org/RecentChanges?max_days=14

you will see once again some idiot spammers creating crap pages in the
wiki. While we aren't too badly effected by Spam I think it has gotten
worst over time. So what should we do?

a) The wiki has a Spam detection system, but currently we cannot
declare pages as Spam (I think only robertwb and wstein, i.e. people
with admin power can). So I would suggest to add various people who
watch the wiki (mhansen, tclemans, mhampton, mabshoff and others who
would like to) to the  admin group.

b) install a Captcha. This can be done together with (a)

c) Just like trac hand out account to the wiki only on demand and
delete the old spammer accounts. moin moin wiki doesn't really have an
elegant way to disable account creation without poking around in the
internals, so if you know a elegant way please enlighten me.

Cheers,

Michael
