Dear all, Does anyone know mediawiki consultant? I think i need to fix many things on my mediawiki page. - My wiki website ever had attack by Spam Bot, so i want to clean it up from spam pages.. - I want to have the best spam protection, i ever implement Google Captcha but still got alot of spams - I need to upgrade my mediawiki version to the newest - I need to redesign my wiki website skin; just simple one.. like this: http://www.peacockcarter.co.uk/images/portfolio/petrowiki_responsive-mediaw… So, on the right side i can put some of my ads banner or google adsense banner. If can export all pages would be nice, but if can not, i will do it my self, i will backup & restore it one by one. I think, this enough for 1st project.. my budget is about 100 USD ++ Payment through PayPal Next several months, maybe after saving some money.. i will need to integrate my wiki page to Facebook / Twitter. Thank You Best Regards, Yudi Wijaya

Hi For Spam try the answer here:See here: http://thingelstad.com/stopping- mediawiki-spam-with-dynamic-questy-captchas/ For the skin Google the available skins and you may find one you like for no money. My current favorite for a responsive skin is Foreground, based around the Foundation Framework. To add Facebook and Twitter look at the Widgets extension, or the WidgetsFramework extension (the current Widgets Framework for Twitter is broken). There's also some other extensions that allow Facebook Twitter likes on the page. For Google Ad works, I think, the Widgets extension has a Google Adsense widget. If it doesn't work contact me directly I may have another answer for you. You could also integrate Google Adsense using one of the secure html extensions: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:NamespaceHTML (My new current favorite extension) https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Secure_HTML Both of those extensions, however, require locking down things so random end users can't use raw html.

Hi, Concerning spam I would like to add the AbuseFilter extension. Is easy to set up and enables you to prevent things like account creation or editing based on rules that you design. ReCaptcha in combination with AbuseFilter eliminated all spam on a wiki on which people can create their own account and edit their profile page. Ad

another good anti spam measure is the questy captcha as well. On Sat, Sep 6, 2014 at 10:29 AM, Ad Strack van Schijndel < ad.strackvanschijndel(a)gmail.com> wrote:

I like questy captcha because you can create some dual purpose questions that relate to your site and it's purpose, it's rules, values, logic puzzles, etc.. But, you have to create new questions after a while as the spammers figure them out. AbuseFilter is a must have. I just wish I could delete all the spam user accounts that get created daily but I haven't found a way to do it. All the ways I found are considered dangerous.

Im not saying to use questy on its own i was saying in addition to. You have me wondering if the creator has added support for localised questions. On Sat, Sep 6, 2014 at 11:33 AM, Al <alj62888(a)yahoo.com> wrote:

Please see the link I originally send. Here it is again: http://thingelstad.com/stopping-mediawiki-spam-with-dynamic-questy-captchas/ The questy captcha like all other Captchas gets figured out by the spammers. But the link I send earlier explains how to create dynamic questy questions. Meaning the question's answer changes on every sign up. I have a very, very large wiki that was getting spammed like crazy before I made the questions dynamic. Now I very seldom get bothered.

My advice is to stop self registration, and just sign up people who have applied to use your wiki. This line appears in my LocalSettings.php $wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] = false; I also have $wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false; $wgEmailConfirmToEdit='true'; Gordo

Dear Gordo, When i had attack from spam bot, then i implement Google Captcha protection, but there still a lot of spam bot coming, their method is creating a lot of random username then cretate page that contains random article from internet. So, after i realize this captcha protection can not help me, then i block user registration and user post (create page / edit), only admin can post/edit -_- Now, there is no spammer again, but this is not what i want Thank you I'm still waiting for mediawiki consultant for hire.. because i want to redesign my wiki page too..
