Hi Keith, I'm using the following tips with excellent results:
Capcha + Userrights ($wgGroupPermissions) like confirm email +
some defense ($wgSpamRegex) against some kind of text & css basically used
by spammers
@+ de jfb "0.02$"

Subject: [Mediawiki-l] Possible to rollback entire site?
Hi all,
I am new to MediaWiki, and was wondering if anyone might be able to help
figure out the best way to deal with a problem.
I recently discovered that the Wiki I'm hosting has been spammed a large
amount over the last month. I would like to remove all of the spam, and
require email authentication, or even better would be admin permission for
a
user to edit pages hence forth. First though I need to figure out how to
remove the existing spam.
Since the wiki is very low volume, there have been almost no changes over
the past month, other than spam. The simplest method it would seem then
would be to do a site roll-back for one month.
Is this possible?
If not, does anyone have any suggestions as to how to get rid of spam
without having to delete each page and block each user manually?
Finally,
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:User_rights suggested a
method
to require all users to confirm their email. Is there any way to go one
step
further and require an admin approve the email?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've been working through the
MediaWiki docs, but they are pretty extensive, and so far I haven't had
any
luck.
Thanks!
Keith
