[Mediawiki-l] can't block edit war

[2007 at gmaskfx.com]

The only thing I found that truly worked was questycaptcha. Since I set that up I have had zero bot attacks.

Hallo,

I have (since some months) problems with a machine/robot which fills  
some pages with pure nonsense (and deletes sometimes the old contents).

        http://arktur.de/Wiki

MediaWiki 1.17.0

From the log file, from perhaps hijacked clients:

The "POST" operation shows the return level 302, but the page is  
changed.

I've included "ConfirmEdit" and "MathCaptcha" - doesn't help. Maybe  
"MathCaptcha" doesn't work ...
Allowing write access only for registered users doesn't help.

Where's the hidden entry for this nasty robot?

Viele Gruesse!
Helmut
