Good evening, I hope you're doing well. I was informed recently that this wiki has experienced a certain amount of vandalism within ns:0 and presumably other namespaces. If this is accurate, I would recommend sending a quick email to Wikia via Special:Contact/general requesting that a MediaWiki extension called AbuseFilter be enabled on this wiki for use by the administration.

AbuseFilter is a powerful tool that allows sysops to set specific parameters which edits made to the site must meet in order to be published. It uses regex to do this, which I assume you're familiar with. For instance, our "Common Vandalism" filter on Elder Scrolls prevents non-autoconfirmed users (i.e. anons and new accounts) from making edits that contain any members of a given set of keywords (mostly vulgarity and common spam techniques). Once a filter is set up, it requires no maintenance from the administration; it runs completely automatically. It would save you and other staff members a lot of effort in the long run to use our blacklist on this wiki as well, adapting it accordingly to the needs of the community here.
