Fighting against vandalism

New page

This page contains information about Jmol wiki administration.
It lists some actions administrators should take in various situations.

== Fighting against vandalism and spamming ==

Several configuration options have been activated on Jmol wiki to reduce the number of vandalism.
These options include:
* Anonymous users can't edit pages (<tt>[[:mw:Manual:$wgGroupPermissions|$wgGroupPermissions]]<nowiki>['*']['edit'] = false;</nowiki></tt>).
* Email address is required for account registration an this email address must be confirmed before the user can edit pages (<tt>[[:mw:Manual:$wgEmailConfirmToEdit|$wgEmailConfirmToEdit]] = true;</tt>).
* Extension [[:mw:Extension:SpamBlacklist|SpamBlacklist]] to manage a black list of URL.
* Extension [[:mw:Extension:ConfirmEdit|ConfirmEdit]] to add a security feature, known as a Captcha, to prevent bot access in some situations (user registration, second login attempt, and URL added).
* [[:mw:Manual:RevisionDelete|RevisionDelete]] has been activated.

Unfortunately, even with these options, vandalism can still happen.
Administrators actions in this situation can be the following:
* [[Special:Block|Block user]] with an infinite expiry.
* Eventually, [[Special:UserMerge|Merge user]] with Anonymous account (and delete the old user).
* If the vandalism is about spamming links to external sites, update the [[JmolWiki Blacklist]] by adding the domain of the spam URL.
*: ''The dot character '.' must be escaped with backslash '\' before.''
* If the vandal has created a new page or uploaded a new file, delete the page or the file.
* If the vandal has modified an existing page, revert its modification and [[Special:RevisionDelete|delete the revision]] using the ''Show/hide selected revisions'' button in the history of the page.
