On my wiki, there are lots of people clogging the wiki by making new pages. Could you turn off making new pages for ALL people on this wiki: https://i-ready.fandom.com/wiki/I-Ready_Wiki?cb=996

I can see that most pages are just created by a few users. Since you're an admin, you can just block them to prevent the majority of those pages (you will have to delete them). You can also request help at https://soap.fandom.com if the admin team is unable to handle it.
If you block them yourself, make sure the "Automatically block the last IP address used by this user, and any subsequent IP addresses they try to edit from" option is checked; it should be by default. There is also the option "Prevent logged-in users from editing from this IP address" which should be checked if you can but it looks like Fandom has hidden it for now. I am not sure why they keep hiding and unhiding it.
Well, I did block them but when I do it, others come using a different IP
A SOAP user did delete it all, but they spammed it like super fast. I am worried they will do it again.
Edit: I have found a program that does this: We’ve created a new automated weapon called the Cyberdemon. Currently, it’s adding more than a few pages to the iReady wiki. : Iready (reddit.com)
And also this: I made a script for those who don’t have a CyberDemon or MidgetScript. : Iready (reddit.com)
If they are doing the vandalism using registered accounts, you can't see their IP. So I don't know how you would know they are using different IPs unless you have been using the hidden option I mentioned. It looks like there is only 1 active autoblock at the moment so I can't verify whether or not you have been using that option. Combined with the fact that you appear to have anon editing disabled. I don't think you could reasonably come to that conclusion about the IPs.
That said, I think you should contact Fandom with the links you provided here. Since this appears to be a coordinated bot attack against the wiki, Fandom will probably be interested to know of the situation and might try to get it resolved with Reddit.
Ok. (The reason I know they are using different IP's are because that the person running the bot whenever I block one, then another comes [i did block the IP] Also, a person using the bots keeps on claiming that he controls ALL of the bots by himself.)
What do you think?
