[07:57]michelec2: wow! thanks for the heads up Philippe. Hadn't visitd the wiki for quite some time
[07:57]michelec2: I see lot of spam in history, that you removed
[07:58]michelec2: thanks for replacing the spam
[08:22]blu.256: I can't remove the pages so I just replace it with the Spam template. It adds them to a special category so they can be deleted more easily.
[08:23]blu.256: Maybe there needs to be some sort of registration confirmation?
[08:24]michelec2: I have just deleted all the pages and users you marked as spam
[08:25]michelec2: I wanted to make you an admin so you can delete them directly, but I can't at the moment. Needs permits from Slavek
[08:25]michelec2: if spam continues to be bad, we may have to look at making it more strict, or perhaps with authorization from an admin
[08:26]michelec2: thanks for the good work so far. Probably I need to watch the wiki a bit more :-)
[08:26]michelec2: If I miss any page that should be delted, please let me know
[08:27]blu.256: There is a page describing anri-spam measures: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Combating_spam
[08:28]michelec2: (y)
[08:31]blu.256: You can see the pages marked with {{Spam}} template here: https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Category:Pages_for_deletion
(Now it's empty :-) )
[08:51]michelec2: (y)
[08:54]Slávek: To delete accounts there is a special page for "Merging Accounts":
[08:54]Slávek: https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Special:UserMerge
[08:54]tde-bot: Page title: Permission error - Trinity Desktop Project Wiki
[08:55]Slávek: To delete a spaming account - there is a "target" user Anonymous and checking the account removal.
[08:56]Slávek: Often there is simpler to first do cleanup user accounts because it also removes their personal (spam) pages.
[08:57]Slávek: In any case, yes, it is great when Philippe is very active in maintaining Wiki, so it makes sense to give higher permissions.
[09:00]Slávek: About creating accounts, there is a simple confirmation page (SimpleCaptcha) with small improvement over the default page.
[09:01]Slávek: This was a long time as a sufficient defense.
[09:23]Slávek: Philippe, welcome in sysops group on Wiki!
[09:27]blu.256: Thank you, I'll try my best in removing spam
[09:30]Slávek: As I mentioned, a good way is to start merging / deleting unnecessary user accounts.
[09:30]Slávek: ...I did cleaning accounts now.
[09:32]Slávek: It is usual that it also removes the spam user's page, so only a small number of spam pages for deletion remains.
