I don't think a bot could get this kind of vandalism. Using a page
blanking bot could be nice but most work has to be done by humans.
I am happy to notice when I am patrolling new edits I get a often a edit
conflict with somebody else that is also reverting the vandalism. But I
am
afraid not everything can be found while paroling.
Does Flagged Revisions also works on images?
We can apply Flagged revisions per
namespace. This may actually be
not a bad idea; given the high possibility that vandalism goes
unnoticed on Commons file pages. I'm sure that most of our editors
can be trusted to flag pages.
Flagging Commons File pages is also an easier job, because it's fairly
easy to tell the difference between vandalism, garbage and legitimate
edits on Commons.
Just a thought.

Isn't it a idea to have the anti vandal bot running the recent changes
but also use Flagged revisions on only the File space.
We have a terrible lot of files (thats a good thing) and I believe not so
many people patrolling the recent changes. While I have seen three
complaints about vandalism that was there for more than 3 days this month.
I believe we must try to keep Commons for the visitor so clean as possible
Best regards,
