I propose that account creation be locked on wikimania2012wiki, since : * The wiki will be closed in a near future - but there are still some legitimate edits from already registered users * Among the 31 last users in this list: <https://wikimania2012.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log/newusers&dir=prev&offset=20120723024528&type=newusers&user=>, 29 are spambots (CU-checked), 1 is undefined, and 1 is a legit user (not checked with CU since it was obvious it wasn't a pattern spambot unlike the other accounts). The junk user accounts have been globally locked and their respective IP have been globally blocked if need was. It would be best if accounts could still be created by already registered users (although I do not think it will be necessary). This would be a first action prior to closing the wiki since there are still some edits that do not justify closing it down (such as this user's <https://wikimania2012.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Tbayer_%28WMF%29>). I'm open to more suggestions or solutions if you have anything any better but please make the spambots stop there. Thanks.
You can simply use titleblacklist.
Ok, I stopped account creation using TB as I suggested above. So, marking this as resolved.
