Hallo, Clayton,

The MediaWiki options you can play with to limit
spammers are:
# Require users log in to edit
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false;
This blocks anonymous edits.
That's another problem. In my case the spammer first creates a user
account (included the confirmation). And he uses this account for
editing the user page.
# Editors must have a valid email address before
# being allowed to edit wiki pages
$wgEmailConfirmToEdit = true;
All users must have a valid email address and confirm
by clicking a
link in an email they receive from the Wiki
My spammer seems to use valid and confirmed addresses.
# Look for specific common spam words on page save,
# and block if any found
$wgSpamRegex = "/word1|word2|word3|word4/";
In the $wgSpamRegex array, just add your common spam
words between
the slashes with each word separated by a pipe.
Maybe I'll add this test - not only this drug spammer vandales.
The extensions I installed there are:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ReCAPTCHA
which adds a
Captcha on new user creation. It's a minor inconvenience to new
users, but it adds one more hurdle to spammers.
I've just installed "ConfirmEdit", seems to work as desired.
I'll take a look at it - thank you!
Viele Gruesse!
