AntiSpam
========
The basic protection ZWiki offers is the have users set a username (via a
cookie).
Properties on the wiki folder:
* edits_need_username=true - cf. http://zwiki.org/LinkSpam
* address@hidden - cf. http://zwiki.org/HowToSetUpMailOut
* mailout_policy=edits
sm from #zwiki suggest the following workflow:
-----
My usual policy is: anonymous can edit, though I lock down key pages
occasionally; edits need username; I and others subscribe to the wiki "all
edits" so we'll notice spam; if I get a spammer using a username, I'll revert
it manually with revertEditsEverywhereBy; if they persist I'll block their ip
address with apache (and unblock some time later).
That's been working pretty well for a while.. I haven't had a really persistent
hostile attack for some time, if I did I would make the whole thing read only
for a while and consider next steps.
Also, I try hard not to let spam links get a foothold in the wiki, or they will
attract more.
Reviewing the all-edits mails once in a while is important.

A "revert" URL looks like:
https://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/FrontPage/revertEditsEverywhereBy?username=Xyz
