The wiki has an item "Remove Spam" in the "More Actions" menu. Does 
anybody know what it does or when it is/should be used? I couldn't 
find it in the documentation.

The old "AntiSpamFeatures" page on MoinMoin Wiki 
<http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/AntiSpamFeatures> and its newer 
counterpart at <http://moinmo.in/AntiSpamFeatures> list anti-spam 
features and ideas, but I don't know what is already in place in our 
current MoinMoin intallation, nor how we could use these features and 
ideas. (<http://moinmo.in/AntiSpamGlobalSolution> also mentions 
blocking Chinese; that would block 90% of the spam in our wiki.)

Best regards,

Christophe
