Spam on GMG Manual Wiki

[jeremymaharg]

There has been a slowly increasing spam problem on the GMG Manual wiki site. I'm not sure who controls the site, but you might consider adding something like this reCAPTCHA plugin to it to reduce the spam.

Most of the spam so far has been on the Compiling and Card Buttons pages, and the Talk page for the Main Page. Up until now it was manageable, but today there has been an explosion of spam on the Talk page of the Main page.

Here's the Recent Changes page, showing the recent activity:

Wow. I didn't know it was getting spammed.

This spam is getting out of control...we really need some kind of CAPTCHA on it...
From what I've read about that reCAPTCHA plugin, it seems that it would minimize inconvenience pretty well:

When do CAPTCHAs get displayed? How do I tune this?

By default, CAPTCHAs are triggered on the following events:

New user registration
Anonymous edits that contain new external links
Brute-force password cracking

Okay I'll implement a captcha on the page. There's a MedaWiki plugin that can help me out.
