'''Running list of ideas:''' 
* [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Combating_spam $wgSpamRegex] - doing this already 
* [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:StopForumSpam StopFormSpam] - worth looking into, will likely have to disable cloudflare 
* [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ConfirmEdit ConfirmEdit] - doing this already with Captcha NoRecaptcha, may be worth going back to questy captcha with a lot more questions... 
* [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Antispam Clean Talk] - looks similar to StopForumSpam but possibly not updated for 1.3.1

Running list of ideas:

  • $wgSpamRegex - doing this already
  • StopFormSpam - worth looking into, will likely have to disable cloudflare
  • ConfirmEdit - doing this already with Captcha NoRecaptcha, may be worth going back to questy captcha with a lot more questions...
  • Clean Talk - looks similar to StopForumSpam but possibly not updated for 1.3.1
