As currently stands, too little people can even edit the wiki know,
those are humans! you know? :-D . Now in all seriousness, how do other
wikis handle this issue? I know wikipedia filter blocks of IP & records
who-did-who to see bad behaving actors, maybe this is too much for our
case? what does for example the archwiki in this regard? (I will ask
them)
