In addition to changing your MediaWiki configuration, if you are running MediaWiki on Apache, you can make changes to your Apache web server configuration to help stop spam. These settings are generally either placed in your virtual host configuration file, or in a file called .htaccess in the same location as LocalSettings.php (note that if you have a shared web host, they must enable AllowOverride to allow you to use an .htaccess file).
