Hello,
I would highly recommend requiring Tor users to sign up for an account, and just block edits from Tor exit nodes. Many home users run Tor servers to donate some of their bandwidth, and it would damage your website if you permanently blocked all IPs from exit nodes. You might also want to run a cron job that updates the list of blocked IPs, being sure to remove ones which are no longer exit nodes and add in new ones.

Hi,
I've configured proxy_check and wgBlockOpenProxies, which seems to be working, but am still able to edit our wiki anonymously using Tor. Is there anyway to tighten this up? It seems the majority of edits coming from Tor proxies are from vandals.
Thanks, Travis
There is a list of Tor exit nodes. Block them all :P
That's bad practice in my opinion. Such nodes could also be border points for universites or large businesses or ISPs. Plus exit points change like the hours on a clock - people drop in and drop off the network on a whim, and many using dymanic DNS. So blocking Tor nodes is very iffy, and could wind up blocking a bunch of legitimate contributors.
