Our current MediaWiki version 1.24.2 is somewhat outdated. It would seem prudent to upgrade to a much more recent version. Please discuss below. | Our current MediaWiki version 1.24.2 is somewhat outdated. It would seem prudent to upgrade to a much more recent version. Please discuss below. | ||

The [[mw:Extension:UserMerge|merge and delete extension]] would be a huge help in eliminating the vast quantity of unused spam accounts which prevailed before we added the [[mw:Extension:ConfirmAccount|ConfirmAccount]] extension. | The [[mw:Extension:UserMerge|merge and delete extension]] would be a huge help in eliminating the vast quantity of unused spam accounts which prevailed before we added the [[mw:Extension:ConfirmAccount|ConfirmAccount]] extension. | ||

MediaWiki 1.25 removes the Special:PopularPages we rely on to generate page view statistics which we then use to calculate [[wikiFactor]] score. When we upgrade our MW core version, we will need to add [[mw:Extension:HitCounters|Extension:HitCounters]] to retain and output our page view stats. Note that this HitCounters MUST use MW 1.25 core to carry forward our existing page views. If we skip the MW 1.25 version during upgrade, and try to add HitCounters at MW 1.26 or later, our existing page views will all be reset to zero! | MediaWiki 1.25 removes the Special:PopularPages we rely on to generate page view statistics which we then use to calculate [[wikiFactor]] score.

==Suppression/Oversight== | |||
Add suppression/oversight into the configuration, which allows staff members to delete pages, revisions, and log entries and prevent regular admins from viewing them. It also allows staff members to indefinitely block an account and remove its username from the user list and most logs/histories. This would be an alternative way to remove the spam accounts, and can also be used in the event that personal information or illegal content is ever posted to this wiki. | |||
