I have one or more spambots that keep coming back on a specific page, you can see it in action here: http://www.whatleadership.us/wiki/Special:Recentchanges (this is a test set up - the site is not ready for visitors yet)
How lovely, all those spambots adding and removing the spam from its partners.
Tried to install SpamBlacklist. Used the simple setup suggested for localsettings.php (without including array). Did not get it to work.
That's because hi5.com isn't on the meta blacklist http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Spam_blacklist
Try adding it to http://www.whatleadership.us/wiki/MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist
Also tried to protect the page with no result.
The pages on those RecentChanges aren't protected. Note that on deleting, the page will no longer be protected. You need to protect against creation.
The SpamBlacklist extension's talk page has old discussions about it not working, no apparent solution at hand.
Any hints?
