Currently we observe very special spam attacs -- only IPs -- that place single nonsense words in existing pages.
John stated that we are not the only wiki that ist annoyed, they are testing the terrain before putting in real spam, said Felix.
I find it useful to block them for some days or weeks for the first. If we see them spamming again we can than block them even longer.
If you are blocked
If your, as a normal user, feel blocked due to a blocked IP, please contact one of the administrators. They will unblock you.
Lists of blocked IPs as follows
Maybe we should make blocked IPs visible and describe why we have blocked them.
MediaWiki has two build-in functions for keeping track of blocking actions on IPs and user accounts
- the Special:Ipblocklist shows the current blocked ones (reach,expiry time)
- the block log shows each particular block action
This is the list of IPs blocked by User:Peu as a starting point.
I block the "bad" IPs in this way:
* 1 day - was nonsense, they spam for short one day and paus 1 day (1 day is to little)
- 3 days, anon only, for the first
- 1 week, anon only, for the second
and make further comments on former blockings this way 3d .. 1w, that means 3 days last, 1 week now.
It's important to uncheck "account creation". We are mostly spammed by IPs.
I throw my list away, if someone is about to block, the software shows former block actions with this IP or user

Should we create IP-Pages?
Logged in users have their home spaces, why not bots=. We could protect IP-pages against anon contributions and elaborate the blocking policy for each IP like this:
- spammer
- useful contributions
- shared
