I'm preping myself to install a couple of anti-spam methods to protect my
wiki site (I hope). Unfortunately i've had little success installing the
newest version of the wikimedia software (1.16) so i'm relying on the 1.6
version. Looking at this article here
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ConfirmEdit it says it can be used
in versions 1.6 and up, but in the detailed information area it says it
requires version 1.11 and up. What version does it need in order to operate
correctly?
Not looking to have fort knoxx at the moment since my site is sort of back
water, but down the road I do hope to increase my security a bit. Mostly
want to prevent people from inputing naughty words probably using the
$wgSpamRegex command and prevent established IP spam address from trying to
create accounts to spam the wiki site.
