[Noisebridge-discuss] Is a script creating New Users on the Wiki ??

[Jeffrey Carl Faden]

This problem has been going on for a very long time now. Many have asked
about it on this list. It probably doesn't affect the security of the wiki
in any way.

Filter recent changes by Namespace: User, and click "Invert selection".
Problem solved!
