[WikiEN-l] Mysterious spam on Wikipedia

I just opened up the article on [[BioShock]], and there's some sort of
banner ad scrolling French text across the top.  I can't see any
vandalism in the article history or any of the templates it uses.  I'm
pretty sure I don't have a spyware problem, since I'm running Gentoo
Linux.  Has a spammer somehow gotten access to the user interface?

A screenshot of what I'm seeing is at
