Spam

Hi Paula! Found a couple more spam users: User:Ronnie4156 and User:KevinSeymour
Dunno if there's a Mediawiki extension for reporting pages and users, a quick look didn't turn one up, but it'd be handy. Feel free to delete this comment when you've seen it.

Thanks, I banned them.

Hello Paula / suggestions

Hello Paula!

I'm new here and i want to contribute to this great project.

Two suggestions:

Prevent Spam - Often new wiki projects get flooded by many spam accounts. To prevent this, there could be perhaps a SpamRegex (see: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SpamRegex ) to add some words which prohibite adding and saving pages with included Regex words (like these domains in spam account profiles). Another option is to add simple questions to prevent spamming like: "Mastodon is a part of the ...?" -> Fediverse/fediverse.
Enable some parser functions - I had the idea to add some templates for infoboxes, but the #if-clause doesn't work yet. Perhaps there's an option to enable this? :)

Thank you for hosting this wiki!

addition:

3. for the future, there might be the option to add language versions of articles by sub-sites, e.g.: Mastodon/de (German version) or "What is Mastodon?/de" with an redirect to "Was ist Mastodon?" --Cordialis (talk) 17:21, 5 January 2022 (CET)
