Manual talk:Combating spam

Pages on meta.wikimedia.org
Were you not aware of these pages? :
 * Anti-spam Features
 * Wiki Spam

Seems like a lot of duplicated effort creating this explanation.

Could move those onto MediaWiki.org ?

 * By the way I am responsible for writing most of the text on those pages, and would be delighted if more people read them and linked to them (not because I wrote them, but because I want to increase awareness of the issues/remedies). So if they're more likely to be found on here, lets move them here.
 * I am also very happy for people to redistribute that content, so if we wanted move those pages into the Public Domain Help Pages that would be fine by me. I'm not the sole contributor. Others made various minor tweaks, so maybe there's legal problems with stripping the license.... but I did write the bulk of the text.

 * It's a nice thought, but anti-spam information is probably out of the public domain help pages' scope (considering their target audience). Would other wikis really benefit from duplicating that content (though they still can under the GFDL)? —Emufarmers(T 02:21, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
