[libreoffice-website] deleting wiki spam

Hello,

with the new wiki, we have some more options for fighting wiki spam that 
I'd like to share with you.

As usual, on http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Special:RecentChanges we 
see a nice list of recent activities, unfortunately also with a nice 
list of recent spams.

Most of the time, it is one user spamming. In order to delete all pages 
created by that user, you can use the extension available at 
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Special:Nuke - simply enter the 
user's name, and a list of all his pages are shown. Beware that pages 
you mark there will be *deleted*. In case a valid page was spammed 
afterwards, changes will not be reverted back, but the whole page is 
deleted.

If we want to get rid of the registered users, another extension comes 
in handy, which is http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Special:UserMerge 
Using this extension, you can merge the spamming user to "anonymous", 
effectively deleting them out of the database.

Hope that helps a bit in combating spam!

Florian
