Ok I updated mediawiki to 1.19 so that the ConfirmUser extension wold work.
All accounts must be approved by a sysop before they are active.
Hopefully I can just reject the obvious spam accounts.
There was some 1500 accounts on the system most of them with no edit's
so I just deleted those.
There is a bunch of spam accounts with 1 or 2 posts these should be deleted
with the mergeuser extension but that is a bit more time consuming.
Please let me know if the upgrade has caused any problems.
-Russell
