Just when you think it's safe to go out again... I've secured my fairly late-model (~1.5.6) MediaWiki against public account creation, and now I'm finding the thieves are polluting it with trackbacks. This new vandalism requires no account creation, no edit rights. In this case, I simply went in and wiped the contents of the "mw_trackbacks" table. (I can just hear Brion saying, "DON'T DO THAT!") Is there any strategy in place for combatting this new (to me, at least) form of vandalism? :::: Giving society cheap, abundant energy at this point would be the equivalent of giving an idiot child a machine gun. -- Paul Ehrlich :::: :::: Jan Steinman <http://www.VeggieVanGogh.com> ::::
