:I agree that we should hold off as long as possible on Level 4. I have been tweaking the controls (Level 1) over the last few days to improve the initial blocking and restarted the local list (Level 3) and checked that the WikiMedia list (Level 2) is working like it should. My experience in dealing with spam is that once it reaches a certain level people dealing with it start to burn out and my goal is not to ever reach that level. I think I prefer the Level 4 controls to moderating all edits, that would be a pain. Thanks for your input and spam killing efforts. [[User:John Stanton|John]] 13:00, 19 February 2007 (PST)

:: I like your "technical solution". I think it could be useful at all kinds of wiki, not just WikiIndex. So I made sure it was described at the wiki for that sort of thing: [http://wikifeatures.wiki.taoriver.net/moin.fcg/StagedCommits WikiFeatures:StagedCommits]. (You might be interested in other anti-spam ideas at [http://wikifeatures.wiki.taoriver.net/moin.fcg/DelayedCommits WikiFeatures:DelayedCommits] and [http://wikifeatures.wiki.taoriver.net/moin.fcg/RejectDuplicate WikiFeatures:RejectDuplicate]).
:: Please edit those pages if I've missed some crucial implementation detail.
