One thing that I would think would solve this, is a multi-language recentchanges. One recentchanges page where the changes are shown for all Wikipedias without a regular contributor (or maybe those with less than two regular contributors).

Just an embryo of idea: seems some idiots/spammers spam their URL to wikipedias they guess unmaintaned, and I suspect that they usually do it to more than one: maybe one of them are is not maintaned, and thus raise their ranks on google (cos' that's what it's all about).

Would be maybe useful to be able to put an IP (and its approximate modification date) into the SpamExaminer queue, which could cehck every wikipedia for the same IP (only not logged in IP's as it's unlikely that they log in to several wikipedias they don't even get the language in) modifications, and make it easier to rollback them (or even help non-maintaned wikipedias to get rid of them, I don't yet know how).

Maybe a link somewhere on the contribs of a not logged in IP page could help. Or when watching their diffs (it turns out to be spam in the diffs usually, except when the moron creates a new article just for the spam).

I guess this could work effectively since not many non-logged-in people makes changes to several wikipedias at once, and even if they would, sysops probably wouldn't flag them as spammers.

Or maybe we already have such checks. Dunno. If there is, sorry for wasting your time.
