Admin
I'd love to be. Thanks! - Quill 16:24, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
Spammer
Could please you block User:Imywejyh or tell me how to? Thanks. - Quill 16:45, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
- Done. --Jonathan 19:35, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
Require Email Confirmation
Could we turn on required email confirmation for new accounts? Might slow down the recent wave of spammers. See: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgEmailConfirmToEdit
- Done --Jonathan 22:03, 13 February 2011 (PST)
Main Page
So...it would seem that the main page has been hijacked a bit. I'm not familiar with making changes, but wanted to make sure you were aware of it.
- All fixed, until the next wave. --Jonathan 22:05, 13 February 2011 (PST)
User:Quill
Just noticed that Quill is a Bureaucrat but not an Administrator, so they lack all the Administrator privileges given here: Special:ListGroupRights. Was this by accident? It seemed like he/she was interested in helping with the spam, and they've been categorizing like crazy as well. --Dustingram 16:36, 14 February 2011 (PST)
- Accident fixed. --Jonathan 22:21, 20 February 2011 (PST)
- Thanks! I don't think we're going to be able to keep up with the spam manually though. They are clearly using bots to post. Can we find some kind of bot to remove it? - Quill 09:18, 8 March 2011 (PST)
- I didn't either. If you have any ideas, I am game. --Jonathan 09:41, 9 March 2011 (PST)
Anonymous Edits
Getting a lot of spammy edits from IPs (users without accounts). Might be a good idea to require account creation in order to edit (I believe it was this way before?) --Dustingram 16:54, 7 August 2011 (PDT)
