I'd suggest installing [[mw:Extension:SimpleAntiSpam|SimpleAntiSpam extension]], too; it's a simple extension that catches plenty of stupid spambots. It's also used on all Wikimedia Foundation sites.

It'd probably be a good idea to upgrade to MediaWiki 1.16.'''2''' instead of 1.16.'''0''' since the former's the newest version of MediaWiki as of now. ;-) --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] 12:41, 10 April 2011 (PDT)

:already mentioned this to the big fella on IRC...an upgrade would probably solve most problems...and give the wiki a brand new look and feel...--[[User:Comets|Comets]] 13:44, 10 April 2011 (PDT)

Great to see an upgrade of MediaWiki, 1.10 was getting old. 1.10 to 1.16 seems quite a big jump, good luck with that :) As for the semantic thing, I've always wondered how using it felt like, so it will be nice to have it here. As for ComfirmEdit, I found that QuestyCaptchas are very efficient, super-easy to install (doesn't require TeX or Python things), and Google-free (unlike ReCaptcha).
