Re: wiki spam

hi,

the wiki for RT (a troubleticket system), and probably a lot more wiki's us=
e
a whitelisting-scheme to avoid wiki-spam:
http://wiki.bestpractical.com/index.cgi
http://wiki.bestpractical.com/index.cgi?whitelist

Looks like these are whitelists of links to external hostnames.

not sure how that works exactly, but that *might* also be a solution
for the CDBI-wiki. On the other hand it might be too much overhead to
keep the whitelist current.

I wouldn't mind helping out in looking further into that and/or implementin=
g it.
