Forum:Spam user pages

The yahoomediaplayer.wikia.com wiki gets a constant stream of new User:foo pages by people who have nothing to do with the wiki. These pages have a word or two, maybe a picture, maybe an attempt to do some javascript, and that's it.

I can't figure out what these people are doing, and how I can avoid having these pages be a creeping source of unrelated mung in the wiki. I doubt these people have any idea which wiki they're on; the appeal seems to be to have a space to write in.

Any ideas how I can understand these users, and how I can avoid constant janitor work to delete their pages?

 * If you mean that you want them to no more create that page then you need to protect the page from recreation (just canät remeber how to do that :P). If you are not a sysop there then ask that janitor to protect them from recreation. Strongholdman 11:04, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
