[05:38:19] yeah, it was tiny back in the day :-) [05:40:00] if someone sees Equadus on, can they point him to that url? I wasn't around when he came through with the question [05:44:46] I beleive Reedy did, didn't he? [05:45:24] no [05:45:34] he didn't have the archive url I guess [06:58:47] apergos, put on his talk [12:17:16] JeLuF, Reedy : hello. I wonder if you could give some help with the recent spambots attacks, please. [12:17:53] It would be appreciated if you could help on some issues, or at least redirect us to other people who have access to the server logs who are available [12:17:57] Thanks by advance [15:18:30] Quentinv57: what do you mean? [15:19:38] Betacommand, what do I mean ? [15:19:54] I just spent my day locking spambots, this is what I mean [15:20:26] there are some problems that come directly from MediaWiki itself, and I'm not the one who can solve it [15:20:27] Quentinv57: care to give some more info and Ill see what suggestions I can make [15:21:01] Betacommand, there are hundreads of spambots created in the last weeks to spam crosswiki [15:21:23] this necessarily means there is a problems somewhere in the AntiSpambot or Captcha extensions [15:21:48] Quentinv57: not necessarily [15:21:51] and I would appreciate this to be fixed, because I won't spent more days blocking spambots [15:22:36] Quentinv57: its relatively easy to employ human captcha bypasser [15:23:11] sit at a desk and have a program feed the user them, and the bot enters it into the correct forms [15:23:27] Betacommand, that's why I asked sysadmins to check the logs, to see if the Captcha was displayed or not [15:23:28] there is zero ways to prevent that [15:23:50] we can at least see if the problem is here [15:24:01] probably it is malfunctionning, or too easy captchas [15:24:14] Quentinv57: send a note to wiki-tech-l [15:25:15] Betacommand, is there any chance I'll get an answer ? [15:25:28] this is a staterday very few devs will be online [15:25:58] Quentinv57: yes [15:26:11] it may take a few days [18:37:04] !log awjrichards synchronized wmf-config/InitialiseSettings.php 'Disabling PageTriage extension on enwiki per request from Kaldari, due to bug 36968' [18:37:09] Logged the message, Master
