My wiki has a pretty major spam problem, would it be possible to limit page creation to users with accounts? Binarystep (talk) 09:24, 22 December 2018 (UTC)

If your wiki has AbuseFilter installed, you can create a filter for it. If it doesn't, you can have it installed, or you can ask to have createpage revoked from all users and granted to Users or Autoconfirmed Users. Installing an extension or granting/revoking privileges requires Staff action. You can request Staff action using Special:Contact on your wiki. --Saftzie (talk) 07:11, 23 December 2018 (UTC)

Yep, the spammers are out in force over the holidays, joining as users with stupid names and posting trash. I'm using "mass delete" 3-4 times a day. Still, those nice people at shoutwiki seem to be doing their best. Happy holidays to all of them.
