[00:05:39] You can change the permissions for users, so that only confirmed users can edit, if you want. [00:06:24] Can be a temporary measure. Otherwise there is a Moderation extension you can enable [00:20:53] [1/3] I did change the permissions. I also just ran a mass delete of all of the new users' edits. [00:20:53] [2/3] Weirdly, there are four files that didn't delete, and I don't see how to remove them (all of them are from Wikimedia Commons, but they have nothing to do with the wiki's topic so I don't want them on PTW). [00:20:54] [3/3] pandorastale (dot) miraheze (dot) org/wiki/File:United_States_Navy_Band_-_God_Save_the_Queen.oga [00:21:07] File:La_Marseillaise.ogg [00:21:11] File:Inno_di_Mameli_instrumental.ogg [00:21:19] File:Hino_Nacional_da_Republica_Portuguesa.ogg [00:21:24] How do I delete them? [00:21:54] If they’re on commons you can’t [00:22:12] All Commons files are accessible on a wiki with Instant Commons enabled [00:22:26] The files are overridden if there’s a local file of the same name [00:23:39] Okay that makes sense, thanks. [00:27:40] I also just checked the global accounts and it looks like all 17 of the spam accounts were newly created and only edited my wiki, so now that they are banned there's probably nothing for the global mod team to do (unless the same spammer is making other accounts to vandalize other wikis.) [01:24:39] the one thing that might be useful is slapping their IP if it's a streak and if they're coming from the same spot, but it is of limited value especially if there's not much more happening [02:12:33] I guess these names are so specific, that I suggest, removing the links to these files.
