like I do at Laotian. You do not really have to speak the language.
This won't work when you have to deal with bots. In two to three days they
could have created hundreds of thousands of pages. The worst is when there
are existing pages which could have been edited and moved a hundred times
where the only efficient way would be to restore the database.
Dori has a point of course, but do we really have this problem?
If so, then "soft closing" might be a good solution to explore. A "soft
closed" wiki requires a captcha for posting, disallows external links,
implements the 'nofollow' tag, etc.
