Hi,
I have a wiki at winterswiki.org. It was discovered by vandals who created 9500 new users and 10,000+ pages in a couple of days.
I disabled access and wiped all the users except known ones off the database, but when I enabled the wiki again new users started being created every minute or so. I disabled anon account creation, but I still have 10,000+ pages of spam intersperced with my real pages.
What is the best way to get rid of the pages I don't want in a bulk fashion?
What is the best way to avoid this and other problems..
Thanks
