My MediaWiki page (ImmigrantJohnLakeOfGravesend) has a small finite audience. On the same day (seemingly) my page received 532 new registration requests, all from email addresses I do not recognize (I would most likely recognize an email address in my small, finite community).
To me, this seems like spam or an attack of some sort. What can I do about it?
See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Combating_spam
Will upgrading to 1.35.x resolve this issue?
Upgrading reduces the attack vector via known vulnerabilities. It won't change the fact that your website allows people to register accounts.
