Greetings everyone. Im just seeking some help. Im veey new to this software and cant do much without guides quite yet. I found this link http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.org.wikimedia.mediawiki/41614/focus=41697 but im honestly unsure of how to implement anything suggested. I had the link to my wiki available for maybe 1 day before it was slammed with trash pages and bots. Bots registering and posting trash. Im not sure if any anonomous bots have created any pages. I just want it to stop and to clean the wiki. Is there a quick way I can delete all the spam pages and bots? I do have some legitimate users so I believe purging the database is not a good idea. Any help including telling me how to implement the sigges

Hi!
Manual:Combating spam and Manual:Combating vandalism have an overview on the topic.
If you know, which users are legitimate, it could be an idea to create a list with all spam users and remove all contributions by these users. Another idea would be, if you have a list of spam pages, to delete all those pages. The latter can be done by Extension:Nuke.
