Bots' invasion on the RayWiki

[ZuTheSkunk]

I'm not sure that it is a good idea to talk here about it, but maybe it's better to have it here.

There is some annoying invasion of bots on the RayWiki. They still change articles, replacing their content with huge amount of links - or add new article with links, always called "Le Chaos du Cauchemar". StaceyW and Hunchman801 tries to do something with that, but they still come back.

Anyone knows what we can do with this?

Moved to the Raywiki subform.

We had this bot problem for a really long time now and sadly there's little we can do to stop them apart from disabling guest editing on the entire wiki.

And the main problem is that a lot of contributions to RayWiki are made by unregistered users. Bots usually tend to edit or create the same articles: we can easily protect them, but it seems that the protection of deleted articles doesn't work at all.

So maybe we should leave them existing with a protection and some annotation like "This is anti-bot protected article"?

Creating articles without real content doesn't really follow the RayWiki guidelines. Maybe we could redirect it to the Hard Rocks.
