StrategyWiki:Countervandalism

'''This page exists to collect and refine ideas to implement to help stave off vandalism in StrategyWiki. Also, any issue regarding anonymous edits is welcome here as well'''

Proposed ideas
These are ideas that are new and haven't been taken by anyone yet. Please add your ideas to this list with the following format:

Name of idea
Description of idea. All registered users are welcome to voice their opinion about these ideas as well as give suggestions for improvement, etc.

CAPTCHAS
Adding a CAPTCHA to all anonymous edits containing external links. Will help stave off linkspam by bots.

Forcing anon previews
Topic says it all. Anonymous users must use "Show preview" before the "Save page" button becomes available to them. Doable via javascript or an extension, both with their pros and cons.

IRC Recentchanges feed
Have a dedicated IRC Channel where a bot puts out the diffs of all edits or just suspicious edits (whichever, but having only the suspicious ones would be nice) with helpful links such as undo, rollback, block, delete, and mark as patrolled.

Anon edit notice
Not really a cvn issue, but having a notice given only to anons when they edit a page containing descriptions and helpful links.
