After a little holiday due to an OS upgrade, pdpedia is back! Please let me know if it isn't working for you:
Works fine, although the wiki seems to be under the attack of spammers already: a lot of pages have been replaced with links, spam and other gibberish.
I know some of the tricks how to avoid this in mediawiki, drop me a private mail if you're interested.
Here's some of wikipedia/mediawiki's advice:
I recommend the ConfirmEdit plugin (which is also listed on the above page) using only the 'addurl' and 'createaccount' triggers. This requires the user to fill out a captha when adding new links to a page or when creating a new account, while editing of regular content is not affected. On a mediawiki page I administer this plugin was able to keep out the >200 spam edits which were performed every day.
