[SAC] Wiki is being spammed

[Grant Slater]

Hi Guys,

I run the OpenStreetMap wiki. We recently combated a similar spam problem.

Few tips:
* Enabled $wgEnableDnsBlacklist:
https://github.com/openstreetmap/chef/blob/master/cookbooks/mediawiki/templates/default/LocalSettings.php.erb#L207
* $wgDnsBlacklistUrls:
https://github.com/openstreetmap/chef/blob/master/cookbooks/mediawiki/templates/default/LocalSettings.php.erb#L208
* $wgEmailConfirmToEdit = true;
* Increase $wgAutoblockExpiry
* $wgSpamRegex
* Install AbuseFilter extension:
https://github.com/openstreetmap/chef/blob/master/cookbooks/mediawiki/templates/default/mw-ext-AbuseFilter.inc.php.erb
* Chat to me on IRC and I'll share the private AbuseFilter rules.
(Firefishy in #osgeo on freenode + #osm-dev on oftc)
* Use Extension:Nuke to clean up existing spam.

Kind regards,

Grant
