Hi,
I have a wiki at
winterswiki.org. It was discovered by vandals who created
9500 new users and 10,000+ pages in a couple of days.
I disabled access and wiped all the users except known ones off the
database, but when I enabled the wiki again new users started being created
every minute or so. I disabled anon account creation, but I still have
10,000+ pages of spam intersperced with my real pages.
What is the best way to get rid of the pages I don't want in a bulk
fashion?
What is the best way to avoid this and other problems..
Thanks
Dave
