May the Witchspace Lobster gaze favourably upon your endeavours!
Since both Murgh and I are now gatekeepers for the wiki, you might wish to give us the benefits of your experience in detecting spambottery for potshotting purposes!

Ha! Username and email address are the usual giveaways. You may find SFS useful for checking. Not much more I can add really.
For Big D and I, our spambot radars have become finely tuned over many years. We can detect bots at light-year distances.
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!
It seems that with the new server, the size for uploads was reset again. Current maximum is 2 MB.
I've had a brief look and can find nothing obvious that I can twiddle with. I can however try and drive the ever-suffering Winston nuts again.
What maximum limit do we want?
Do we also want to add oxp's to the uploadable possibilities?
I think you should put it to Lord Winston. Code configuring the wiki's PHP seems beyond the scope of a library janitor on the third day on the job, even if raising the default 2MB to 100MB seems conceivably doable.
I was young, I was naïve. Jonny Cuba made me do it!

100 MB should be sufficient for most of the packages. As much as I remember, for larger files an additional setup would be required. What was the reason that OXP's weren't included in the past ? Might be worth to check first before adding them.
Edit:
On a second thought, it would be nice it finally the counters would work reliable again.

Scars remind us where we've been. They don't have to dictate where we're going.

This!
For clarity, what are the indications that it isn't reliable?
From what I can tell it relies on an parser hook extension written by Maik, and unlike most of the extensions maintained by MediaWiki, the trail of clues end there. And um, going under the hood and yanking at parts feels beyond the scope of a library janitor on the fourth day on the job, a proper developer chap is needed. Dait is still sometimes around and this could be put to?

It seems to me that since this last upgrade, the ability to upload images also took a hit. An Error_creating_thumbnail error is what we get now, unless it's just me that has become sullied. –Another thing to bring to Winston if you're getting in touch.
