** Changed license from CC Att/NC/SA to GFDL. Old version saved as 20070930.LocalSettings.php.

** 1/11 - no, it didn't work. Trying a new approach - cleaning out the spam pages and then protecting them from anonymous users. --[[User:Lquilter|LQ]] 05:56, 11 January 2007 (PST)
** 1/23 - and amazingly, for now, spam has slowed down .... --[[User:Lquilter|LQ]] 19:51, 23 January 2007 (PST)
* 2007/1/4 - Moved search on left side to top, just below logo; per instructions at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Layout_customization (copied at [[FSFwiki:Sidebar search]])

FSFwiki:Change log (2006) ... FSFwiki:Change log (2007)


2011 log

  • 2011/01/14 - lots of image uploads, so installing Extension:MultiUpload --LQ 19:49, 14 January 2011 (PST)
  • 2011/02/18 -
    • discovered spam in wiki.feministsf.net/skins/MonoBook.php, by seeing a spam wrapper show up on [1]. Triggered by one of the words here (which include "sperm"), or simply appearing periodically? Can't figure it out. Grr!
    • Moved all MonoBook.php-related files to 20110218.spammed.* filenames (there were 4); uploaded clean MonoBook.php files (there were two) from mediawiki.org (ver. 1.16.2). will this fix the problem?
    • still having the problem. it shows up on an edit-save or an edit-view of that page (Female_reproduction_without_men_(list_of_works)). Haven't yet seen it on any other page. ... Hitting reload from URL line brings up the original page. It's a wrapper attack.
    • testing: triggered on Parthenogenesis in SF which also has word sperm in it.
    • note: not triggered on this page, which now has word sperm in it.
    • edits on any page I test are now producing this spam wrapper. Also, edits from any browser on this laptop. and, edits from other user. applies only to mainspace edits?
    • infected files: wcache.dat in root mediawiki directory ... infected content also showing up in multiple cache files at maintenance/sqlite/archives/cache ...
    • mv wcache.dat to a 20110218.spammed.* file.
    • but STILL getting the goddamned cialis spam file!
    • entirely replaced fsfwiki directory with an older fsfwiki directory. removed the "multiupload" extension to facilitate replacement (since I don't have time to re-install it right now). Otherwise it's okay, except now edit windows are really tiny; empty links show up with red question marks; and a few other annoying issues.
  • 2011/03/19 - Trying to get back to this, because the goddamned spammers have hacked recaptcha.
    • enabling confirmedit.php
    • setting permissions to use a math captcha.
  • 2011/06/28 - LQ. Removed MultiUpload from MediaWiki:Sidebar, since previously disabled in LocalSettings.php anyway!
