We have been rather lucky to avoid attacks by spam bots since we began, but it seems we have recently become the target of such, with New Qualitipedia Wiki in particular becoming a specific target. To combat this, some extensions need to be added to ManageWiki to allow bureaucrats to effectively combat spam and vandalism.
[ x ] ConfirmEdit using hCaptcha; whilst this is not the most effective solution, it is a barrier, and should reduce some spam.
[ ] Evaluate the addition of [[ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Moderation | the Moderation extension]] to ManageWiki
[ ] Evaluate the addition of SpamBlacklist and TitleBlacklist extensions to ManageWiki (or globally?)
Currently, hCaptcha is set to trigger on based on this configuration:
```
$wgCaptchaTriggers['edit'] = false;
$wgCaptchaTriggers['create'] = false;
$wgCaptchaTriggers['addurl'] = true;
$wgCaptchaTriggers['createaccount'] = true;
$wgCaptchaTriggers['badlogin'] = true;
```
which is the default one supplied by the extension — these can ideally be added to ManageWiki/permission to allow on-wiki configuration.
