Administrative issues about this Wiki

Dealing with spam:

A user with "bot" privilege can do the following:

http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&target=SPAM_USER_ID&bot=1

(SPAM_USER_ID is the id of the user vandalising the site)

Then click on all rollback buttons on above page.

This will remove the spam and get rid of annoying messages from "Recent changes" as well.

Reference for above: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:How_to_revert_a_page_to_an_earlier_version#Bot_rollback
