:Yes, shortly after this resource was set up several pages were routine targets for Wiki Spambots. They would routinely target Main, Sandbox, "Community Portal" and recently seem to pick one or two pages from the "Recent changes" page. We have since implemented other features to try and deal with bots, so perhaps it is worth reconsidering removing the block.

- Yes, shortly after this resource was set up several pages were routine targets for Wiki Spambots. They would routinely target Main, Sandbox, "Community Portal" and recently seem to pick one or two pages from the "Recent changes" page. We have since implemented other features to try and deal with bots, so perhaps it is worth reconsidering removing the block. JohnCooley 09:00, 22 Jun 2005 (CDT)
