          &lt;ul&gt;
            &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;priority&lt;/strong&gt;
                changed from &lt;em&gt;minor&lt;/em&gt; to &lt;em&gt;major&lt;/em&gt;
            &lt;/li&gt;
            &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;status&lt;/strong&gt;
                changed from &lt;em&gt;new&lt;/em&gt; to &lt;em&gt;accepted&lt;/em&gt;
            &lt;/li&gt;
            &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;milestone&lt;/strong&gt;
                set to &lt;em&gt;Phase 5&lt;/em&gt;
            &lt;/li&gt;
          &lt;/ul&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;
Need to look at this, wiki is being spammed: &lt;a class="ext-link" href="https://wiki.transitionnetwork.org/index.php?title=Special:RecentChanges&amp;amp;days=90"&gt;&lt;span class="icon"&gt;​&lt;/span&gt;https://wiki.transitionnetwork.org/index.php?title=Special:RecentChanges&amp;amp;days=90&lt;/a&gt;

          &lt;ul&gt;
            &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;hours&lt;/strong&gt;
                changed from &lt;em&gt;0.0&lt;/em&gt; to &lt;em&gt;1.0&lt;/em&gt;
            &lt;/li&gt;
            &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;status&lt;/strong&gt;
                changed from &lt;em&gt;accepted&lt;/em&gt; to &lt;em&gt;closed&lt;/em&gt;
            &lt;/li&gt;
            &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;resolution&lt;/strong&gt;
                set to &lt;em&gt;fixed&lt;/em&gt;
            &lt;/li&gt;
            &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;totalhours&lt;/strong&gt;
                changed from &lt;em&gt;0.0&lt;/em&gt; to &lt;em&gt;1.0&lt;/em&gt;
            &lt;/li&gt;
          &lt;/ul&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;
I have deleted all the spam and blocked the spam accounts:
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;a class="ext-link" href="http://wiki.transitionnetwork.org/index.php?title=Special:RecentChanges&amp;amp;from=20110817111328&amp;amp;days=60"&gt;&lt;span class="icon"&gt;​&lt;/span&gt;http://wiki.transitionnetwork.org/index.php?title=Special:RecentChanges&amp;amp;from=20110817111328&amp;amp;days=60&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
I have set both the live and the dev mediawiki sites so that accounts can only be created by administrators and I have also made all the usernames I recognise administrators and bureaucrats (bureaucrats can create administrators) and this has been documented on the front page and in more detail on the about page &lt;a class="ext-link" href="https://wiki.transitionnetwork.org/TransitionWiki:About"&gt;&lt;span class="icon"&gt;​&lt;/span&gt;https://wiki.transitionnetwork.org/TransitionWiki:About&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
The SpamBlacklist extension has been disabled and I have updated the trac docs here &lt;a class="wiki" href="http://localhost:8080/trac/wiki/NewLiveServer#mediawiki"&gt;wiki:NewLiveServer#mediawiki&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
At some point in the future we could set up a form for people to use to request accounts using this extension: &lt;a class="ext-link" href="https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/mediawiki/wiki/Extension:ConfirmAccount"&gt;&lt;span class="icon"&gt;​&lt;/span&gt;https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/mediawiki/wiki/Extension:ConfirmAccount&lt;/a&gt; if the manually sending a email system doesn't work out.
&lt;/p&gt;
