Have to say this is a neglected side project of mine - ProbloggerWiki.com

I have not updated it for months and today visited it by chance. Noticed that the wiki’s home page has been defaced by spam bots.

I guess it’s easy to spam my wiki as editing doesn’t require login. Perhaps I should think about requiring login if a user wants to edit a page.

One good thing about Wiki’s is that undoing the spam bot’s mischief can be done in about 4 clicks. Revision History -> Compare Selected versions -> Undo -> Save

Notice that the main page was defaced a few times by bots with different names. All that is undone in less than 10 seconds.

It’s so easy to undo the spam that I wonder why those bots waste their time. Then again I guess there must be money to be made in these kinds of spam.

There. Back to normal. I wonder if it’s a good sign that this insignificant wiki is getting spam bot attention?
