Hello Andreas, Rajko, Thomas/Tom, Hendrik/Henne, Javier, Marcus, Tim, Petr, Rémy, Shayon and all other wiki-admins,
is there any plan to secure the group of users/to limit the creation of new users and of dealing with vandalism in general?
I think it is possible to do a lot less obvious and more dangerous spamming/malicious things than the examples above.
Maybe next think will be an external link to a malware containing page and maybe next time an editor/admin/... will not look at the content of a link/will not control the link before marking as 'patrolled [corr.] '/'sighted'/'quality'. Compare:

I do not want that on a list (that will be published) - not in all cases I rate the openness of bug reports so hight ;-).
It was only my opinion.
I cannot speak about the best overall plan for the wiki but let me just state that Iwecan ask our IS&T guys to block the accounts used in case of such vandalisms - Henne, I can give you details on what to do to get it done,
A page for normal users on that or where and how to deal with vandalism may be fine?
Btw. shouldn't we write protect the "Main Page"?
I think it is 'protected' with 'quality maintenance' in the way that no without higher permissions as a normal user (I think only admins and a group with members that are already admins, too) can make a edit that is shown as default by not users - I may sometimes a bit more cautious that others but even I think that is enough.
Btw. I suggest to discuss this publically on the mailing list,
Andreas
