It seems as the policy is to place\ndeleted pages into [[Category:Deleted]], and that's what I've done.\nCan someone with the necessary muscles visit that category and delete\nthe pages that's in that category? It will be much easier to find new\nspam pages when they're deleted. At the moment ther̈́e's 179 pages in\nthat category, so a little cleanup would be nice.\n\nAlso, there are lots of spambots registering spam users there, this\npollutes the user database and Special:RecentChanges . Would it be\npossible to set up a CAPTCHA when trying to register an account? This\nhas been of great help at the wikis I'm helping out with. Before the\nCAPTCHA, serveral hundred new spam users every day, after the CAPTCHA\nwas installed, not a single one.\n\nRegards,\nØyvind (User:Sunny256)\n"}]}
