Spammers regularly targeted [http://Liberapedia. | Spammers regularly targeted [http://Liberapedia.fandom.com/wiki/Old_Liberapedia Old Liberapedia], (now no longer a wiki) and the wiki had out of date software. [[Sysop]]s deleted articles that were entirely [[spam]] and blocked [[spammer]]s. Ordinary [[user]]s replaced spam with delete templates and alerted sysops. Spam in good articles was reverted. Over about 2 months spammers decided targeting Liberapedia wasn't worthwhile. Spam reduced to a trickle. New [[Liberapedia]] (currently online) has better software and should be less vulnerable. If humans guard their wiki systematically this helps even with bad software. [[Vandal]]s were a regular problem in Old Liberapedia and are less easily deterred. | ||
