With regards to spam-bots

I would recommend enabling captchas during the registration process to stem the flood of nonsense accounts that are spamming the wiki. This can be done with the ConfirmEdit extension. — Edward Z. Yang(Talk) 19:39, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Do not relegate discussion to IRC

The summary of your edit at FAQ is inappropriate. IRC discussion should not be required for editing. MediaWiki has better mechanisms for that.

While I am at that, thanks for adding at least some text that makes sense for Microsoft Outlook users. --Yecril71pl 08:51, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

rel="nofollow"

Hi, I don't know if it is a feature request,but i read on wikipedia that rel="nofollow" is actual in use. will this become a standard?/is there a discussion about this? should we make a wiki page? --Mabdul 11:26, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

it's already in the spec - hixie
