Forum:How do I block unregistered members from a Wiki

I'm an admin of the Bo-bobo Wiki. We have been getting plenty of spam lately from non-members. How do I block them from creating articles? --Kid Sonic 17:42, November 10, 2009 (UTC)

 * Since you are an admin, you can also use block user under special pages. Sarah (talk 01:44, November 11, 2009 (UTC)

Sarah, you do realize that doesn't answer the question, right? You're talking about blocking a specific user. Kid Sonic is asking about blocking anonymous non-members.
 * That special also deals with unregistered users. If you are an admin, and go to the talkpage or userpage of the IP, it can block the IP. Muzzy34 Talk 01:11, November 30, 2009 (UTC)
 * Or you could have your entire wiki blocked off from IPs, it was used at one point on FringeWiki, but i told them to allow IPs again. You should contact Wikia staff. &mdash; Balistic 05:20, November 30, 2009 (UTC)
 * That should only be used as a last resort. If you can't handle all of the spam pages, why not ask the active bureaucrat to give someone else administrator rights to help deletion? Muzzy34 Talk 13:42, November 30, 2009 (UTC)
