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.
That one sounds rational. How long have you been using it? I am
sure that many anti-spam techniques will reduce spam in the short
run. The trick is to make sure that the spammers don't then shift to
some other kind of spamming which is more work to manage, like
creating accounts.

If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an
idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps
it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into
the possession of everyone, and the receiver cannot dispossess
himself of it. - Thomas Jefferson
