Thanks very much for posting this. For people like me who have very
limited techincal skills, but still want to support a simple wiki, the
single biggest obstacle is understanding how to best deal with spam. I
suspect lots of newbies appreciate occasional posts about spam.

For a popular site, you'll need a holistic strategy for dealing with
spam, which will include a few different tools, possibly something
like:
* Make your site less desirable for link spam, e.g. by setting
$wgNoFollowLinks=true
* Prevent bots with captchas (ConfirmEdit) and SimpleAntiSpam
* Detect and block bad edits with AbuseFilter and SpamBlacklist
* Monitor frequently, and be ready to cleanup with Nuke

Hi Markus!
I recommend you to use QuestyCaptcha to dissallow the bots to register
and
also use $wgAutoConfirmAge = 3600*24;
