	ZIP files will seemingly need to be allowed for upload to permit EPUB uploads, since EPUB files are technically ZIP archives. Presently an error "File extension ".epub" does not match the detected MIME type of the file (application/zip)" appears. If you open an EPUB file, there should be a file 'mimetype' at the first level, and opening this in a text editor will often show 'application/epub+zip'; this can technically be changed to 'application/epub' and my ebook reader will still open the file, but every file I've checked uses the 'epub+zip' combo.

	:I ran Check User on one of those accounts last week and again today, as a couple more have shown up. They were all registered by the same IP address, possibly manually, but did not manage to make any edits after all. Honestly, I wanted to avoid adding any kind of complex captcha so as to not inconvenience legitimate users, but I did install the StopForumSpam extension before reopening the wiki and it seems to have resolved the automated spam issue. The Questy Captcha suggestion seems pretty good and trivially easy for anyone from /lit/ to get past, though. I'll see about installing it. Thanks for the heads up and happy 2026.
