Spammers regularly targetted [http://Liberapedia.Wikia.com/wiki/Old_Liberapedia Old Liberapedia], (now no longer a wiki) and the [[Wiki]] had out of date software.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 spammers.  Ordinary [[user]]s replaced spam with delete templates and aleted 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 detered.

As {{tag|WikiIndex}} has grown spammers have started spamming this wiki and it's becoming annoying.  [[User:Proxima Centauri|Proxima Centauri]] has started replacing spam with the message below. Afterwards the page is protected so the spammer can't do anything about this message which they don't want potential customers to read.  See [[Opportunityreview]].

::::That being said, WikiIndex is once again running an outdated, unsupported release of MediaWiki and not using any other anti-spam extensions than ConfirmEdit and SpamBlacklist.

Phalanx is an anti-spam extension that combines the features of [[mw:Extension:SpamRegex]], [[mw:Extension:RegexBlock]], [[mw:Extension:TitleBlacklist]], [[mw:Extension:SpamBlacklist]] into one and even adds some additional features. It needs to be generalized a bit to work on more standard MediaWikis, as it was written with a wiki farm setup in mind.
