I also think it would be a good idea to implement some of the helpful MediaWiki extensions to combat spammers, inappropriate usernames, inappropriate keywords (such as 'Allah', 'God', 'Viagra', 'loan', etc). I'm sure there must be something Mark can install to automatically block those kind of words/phrases - both in usernames and body text. I raised this with Elassint [[User talk:Elassint#Spammers - and new account names|here]], but the discussion lost momentum. Do you have any thoughts or experiences on this?

::Hi HH... Personally, I have used some of the readily available word BlackList extensions to control the editing. In the past, and I can't find it anymore, there was an extension where if a user tried to edit an existing page above a certain number of characters, the edit wouldn't be allowed. I'll see if I can locate it again, it wasuseful at the time, but I think it is no longer useable. Thanks!
