For those who are not subscribed to the

In the meantime Wiki has been waging its own site battle against a wave of spam. The Wiki Committee is working with Systems to research and test better spam protection options. In the meantime, this filter hides the sea of red. They also welcomed new staffer Tuulia to the committee, and proposed some more fanworks categories (check out the Dreamwidth discussion post here).

And by spam, we mean spambots who are utterly defeated by the impenetrable wall of our four-hour page-create block and the heroic warrior-gardeners standing ready with banhammers behind the barrier. Thanks, gardeners! We are testing a new captcha right now and will let you know when it is implemented.

Not really news since it's not ready yet, but we haven't forgotten the Fanlore forum and are working on setting it up. Stay tuned!
