Looks like this wiki is overrun with bots, and too few admins to combat them. I know this is an unsolicited offer, but I hate capchas and I have experience in technical support for wikis, so can this be a win-win? I have OCD and captchas tick off my OCD, and I know a thing or two or three about combating vandals and spambots.--[[User:Oxyaena|Oxyaena]] ([[User talk:Oxyaena|talk]]) 12:45, 27 June 2019 (UTC) | Looks like this wiki is overrun with bots, and too few admins to combat them.

:Edit filters can help with the spambots and even vandals, but I've noticed this wiki lacks even a basic, proper references template, so that's definitely one of the things on my priority list.

::{{ping|Oxyaena}} thanks for the offer. We do get multiple spambots creating accounts every day, but their edits never make it past the abuse filter. I could count with the fingers of a single hand the times a spambot has managed to actually create spam pages (and we've always been quick to answer, thanks to the real-time #wikifeed channel in the Discord server). Edits that get through the filters are generally anonymous human vandals, but they don't come very often, so they don't present a problem currently. Thank you for your interest again, and welcome to the wiki! :) --[[User:Ondo|Ondo]] ([[User talk:Ondo|talk]]) 13:46, 27 June 2019 (UTC) | |||
