I've stopped anonymous users from being able to create pages, and new accounts from being created without a sysop. To create a new account for someone, sysops should use:
http://2017.wikiindaba.net/index.php?title=Special:CreateAccount

I've also deleted most of the spam pages (one gives me a server error when I try delete it, have blanked that one, will look into it more later).

Hi.

The Indaba wiki is being spammed mercilessly.  Perhaps page creation by non-users should be disabled.
