Does this mean that to stop the spam attacks I just have to add this line or is there some other things that have to be done as well?

If you install the spamBlacklist extension it indicates that you should put the following code into youe LocalSettings.php require_once( "$IP/extensions/SpamBlacklist/SpamBlacklist.php" ); $wgSpamBlacklistFiles = array( "$IP/extensions/SpamBlacklist/wikimedia_blacklist", // Wikimedia's list // database title "DB: wikidb My_spam_blacklist", ); My question is if you have multiple wiki's using a shared database but using language prefixes eg en_ How do you fill in the database section above.

Most wiki owners have to weigh up the various options available to them in combating spam and spambots. One option some take is to cripple editing for anonymous users, for instance. At the end of the day, what you do depends very much on how much you can "get away with" without compromising the goal you set out to reach with your wiki.

Is there any way to block both '<div' and 'overflow:\s*auto'? We've been getting inundated with both. On Dec 13, 2005, at 9:31 AM, Patrick Gundlach wrote:

I prefer not to disable <div> So far, by adding $wgSpamRegex="/overflow:auto/"; $wgSpamRegex="/overflow: auto/"; $wgSpamRegex="/overflow:\s*auto/"; in my LocalSettings.php, the spam attacks have not persisted, at least not this particular brand.
