the OpenStreetMap wiki. We recently combated a similar spam problem.<br><br> Few
tips:<br> * Enabled $wgEnableDnsBlacklist:<br>
https://github.com/openstreetmap/chef/blob/master/cookbooks/mediawiki/templates/default/LocalSettings.php.erb#L207<br>
* $wgDnsBlacklistUrls:<br>
https://github.com/openstreetmap/chef/blob/master/cookbooks/mediawiki/templates/default/LocalSettings.php.erb#L208<br>
* $wgEmailConfirmToEdit = true;<br> * Increase $wgAutoblockExpiry<br> *
$wgSpamRegex<br> * Install AbuseFilter extension:<br>
https://github.com/openstreetmap/chef/blob/master/cookbooks/mediawiki/templates/default/mw-ext-AbuseFilter.inc.php.erb<br>
* Chat to me on IRC and I'll share the private AbuseFilter rules.<br> (Firefishy
in #osgeo on freenode + #osm-dev on oftc)<br> * Use Extension:Nuke to clean up
existing spam.<br><br> Kind regards,<br><br> Grant<br><br><br><br> On 16 January
