[15:07:39] <tuxick>	 is it really so hard to restrict access to Special: for anonymous users?
[15:07:54] <tuxick>	 bots seem to love it
[15:39:00] <Vulpix>	 tuxick: have you looked at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Handling_web_crawlers ?
[16:08:01] <tuxick>	 ah, didn't approach it from there
[16:08:19] <tuxick>	 tried "Lockdown" but that gave WSOD
[16:08:59] <tuxick>	 but that page too shows it's less trivial than one would expect
[16:10:41] <Reedy>	 !fatal
[16:10:50] <tuxick>	 the nginx approach would probably make most sense for me then
[16:10:52] <Reedy>	 I see the bot is dead

[16:24:31] <wm-bot>	 There are a lot of topics you could be asking about. Besides, this bot is mostly for experienced users to quickly answer common questions. Please just ask your question and wait patiently, as the best person to answer your question may be away for a few minutes or longer. If you're looking for help pages, we moved that to !helpfor.

[16:25:40] <Reedy>	 !500
[16:25:40] <wm-bot>	 A blank page or HTTP 500 error usually indicates a fatal PHP error. For information on debugging (including viewing errors), see <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:How_to_debug>.
[16:25:45] <Reedy>	 !fatal alias 500
[16:25:45] <wm-bot>	 Unable to create alias for 500 because the target is alias, but not a key, if you really want to create this broken alias do !fatal force-alias 500
[16:26:18] <Reedy>	 !memory
[16:26:18] <wm-bot>	 If you're getting out-of-memory errors or internal server errors, raise PHP's memory limit to 50M or more. The memory limit is set in php.ini (as memory_limit) and possibly overridden in LocalSettings.php with ini_set('memory_limit', '20M');

[16:41:14] <Reedy>	 wrong way round?
[16:41:17] <Reedy>	 !botbrain alias botmemory
[16:41:18] <wm-bot>	 Alias is already existing
