[Mediawiki-l] Spam Newbie Question - code check

[John Bidder (Home Office)]

hi
I'v recently been getting hit with, I presume, spambots.
Usernames are created  - usually 10digits or so.

I've just added the following line to my local settings to try and stop it - 
all entries start with =<div  style="display:none">

$wgSpamRegex=<div  style="display:none">

Can anyone verify whether they think this will work or not?

Thanks

John
