Hi Gavin,

thanks for reporting! Darn, tons of useless pages.. I hate those
spambots.


Keenblade, LocalSettings.php is owned by you.

Could you please chmod 660 it? It's owned by proaudio group then, which
is OK, just "others" should not be able to see it.

I was about to install
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:DeleteBatch

We should set the permission to create new pages for bureaucrats only,
and post a notice about it somehwere. If one wants to create new pages,
one needs to ask for it to be created. Spambots don't ask.

Cheers,
Tom
