Check out this link which is a discussion about this topic:
http://www.mwusers.com/forums/showthread.php?8872-Want-to-set-up-a-moderate…
There are a few extensions that probably will do the moderation but who wants to moderate
spam? I would take the advice given in the discussion to not allow users to create their
own accounts. Have them send a request to you via email or whatever and then, as a sysop,
create their accounts. Spammers will not be able to create an account and your spam
should go way down and with it the need to moderate.
If having users send requests to you is not an option follow the links in the discussion
about extensions that allow moderating the wiki. You should also check out:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Spam
which gives other options, like captcha, to combat spammers. Personally I would put
moderating last on my list since it increases the persistent workload.

Subject: [Mediawiki-l] Holding pages for moderation?
I'm having a problem with persistent spammers vandalizing my wiki. I have suspended
new user registration. What I'd like to do instead is to hold edits and new entries
for new users for moderation. Is there a way to to that?
Thanks,
Caitlin
