[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. |
