Hi, all -
I have a problem with mediawiki that may have been caused by spammers. I'm not sure.
This morning I checked my wiki, and I had the worst spam problem ever. Thousands of links over the course of the last few days. (Luckily they don't show except in the history - thank you for whatever built in protection hides all the spam - they just erase my pages).
I usually deal with spammers by reverting back to the "clean" version of the page. However, today when I tried to do this, I could not get the editable version of the historical page. When I find the clean page and hit "edit", the editable version is always the current version of the page. Is there any way I can fix this?
I don't know what version of MediaWiki I'm using. I think I installed it four or five months ago.

Start with viewing the "Special:Version" page of your wiki. Let us know the MediaWiki, MySQL, and webserver version there. That will be a start to giving us enough information to solve your problem.

Hi, Hinandil -
Thanks for letting me know where to find this info!
Here's the info:
* MediaWiki: 1.5.6 * PHP: 4.4.2 (cgi) * MySQL: 5.0.18-standard-log
In the time since I made my last post to the list, the spammers struck again. ARG!!!!
