This mode disables anonymous edits and new user accounts.

  • No Anonymous edits: (click on either link and save the page): On | Off

This disables anonymous edits from IP. Its helpful for spam or vandalism. The page WikiIslam:Forum can still be edited by IP users. For spam on that page, protect it temporarily separately.

Blocking/Unblocking

Utilities

Recent Changes Cleanup
  • Recent Changes Cleanup: for hiding vandalism-related items from the Recent Changes page. These changes will still show up if 'show-bots' is clicked on the RC page.

Spam

IP addresses for spam can be blocked for 3-6 months:

If a spam bot keeps recreating a certain page:

  • If you dont want to create the page see Wikipedia's help on protecting pages from being created. Steps for that should be:
    1. Delete the page.
    2. In the dropdown for that page, click "Protect"
      • You'll see protection options in a new "Create" box. Choose "Allow only autoconfirmed users".
      • Click "Confirm".
    3. After protection, you should see this in the Recent changes: Admin (Talk) protected "Spam page Title"‎ ‎[create=autoconfirmed] (indefinite)
  • Another way to protect a page from a spam bot is to write a hidden comment in the page, save and protect the page for a few months from IP and new users (if its predicted that genuine new and IP users will most likely not edit the page)

Use MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist to blacklist URL's from persistent spammers.
