This is a wild and ridiculous claim if you're referring to anything
but that it is written in PHP. I visit Wikipedia every day, it is
great. Does OpenWetWare get spammed? It seems not to, and I attribute
this not to plugins, but to their registration process needing human
approval.
As John Griessen asked about, yes you can use Google to sign-in, they
call it SSO (single sign on) or OAUTH2
(https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:GoogleLogin).

That sounds more agreeable.

Your suggestion of WhatsApp is very odd to me, as I've only ever read
about WhatsApp getting hacked, leaking data, opening backdoors on
user's devices.
