Talk:Administrator Discussion

2006-06-27T21:04:26Z

74.65.246.165:

I am spurred to create a page for people (self-defined administrators -- yes, you too, whoever is reading this) to discuss issues relating to running the wiki. The spur is those long numeric strings that periodically show up on brand new pages that never existed before, or, lately, as additions to preexisting pages. What's up with those? They don't seem to be link-spam because there is no link. So I wonder if they are created by some searchbot or other program running wild, by the mediawiki software, or what? Does anybody know? [[User:Lquilter|LQ]] 07:01, 26 June 2006 (PDT)

Well, a search on the internet didn't turn up anything definitive. But some people theorize it's a "proof of concept" spam to see if the site is being patrolled. If we don't remove the weird edits, the real attack begins. Some pages I came across indicated that there are RBL filters that can be installed for the Wikimedia engine. Maybe we should look into that? --[[User:JLeland|Therem]] 19:18, 26 June 2006 (PDT)

One geek friend believes them to be screwed-up spambots. Deleting quickly is a good thing. Looking for spam-filters would be great! Janice are you going to do that? [[User:74.65.246.165|74.65.246.165]] 14:04, 27 June 2006 (PDT)
