== Paris edits ==
I think there is some info [http://hitchwiki.org/en/index.php?title=Paris&diff=76795&oldid=76792 here] that could stay. Also some people get a bit upset if you remove (most of) the info they added. Can you give it another try? :) [[User:Guaka|guaka]] ([[User talk:Guaka|talk]]) 16:30, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
== Deleting spammers ==
My current set-up to keep an eye on Hitchwiki is as follows, using Firefox. I have four pinned tabs:
* Tab n+0 - [[Special:RecentChanges|Recent Changes]]
* Tab n+1 - [[Special:CheckUser|Check User]]
* Tab n+2 - [http://hitchwiki.org/en/Special:RecentChangesCleanup?num=1000 Recent Changes Cleanup]
* Tab n+3 - [http://www.stopforumspam.com/search Stop Spam Forum (Search page)]
Regularly refresh "Recent Changes" and as soon as user names of the format FirstnameLastname (F & L capitalized) appear, I copy them to the "Check User" tab to get the IP address, which is posted into the "Stop Spam Forum". If that results in a lot of output, the user is blocked and on the "Recent Changes Cleanup", the creation and block are both set to Hidden. Other names are checked on a random basis, turns out that even "normal" names occasionally belong to spammers...
