Indeed. The script eliminated some tens of thousands of spam pages among only ~400 actual content pages. It was not perfect (there were still a few pages that had spam on them), but it definitely worked amazingly and did not have any false positives that I am aware of.

I think that it's possible to make the tool more generic. Can you put the scripts on a repository? I'm giving a talk of fighting spam on Semantic MediaWiki conference and would be glad to include your bot as an example of solution of this common problem.

Tyler, how are the results? John, can you upload it on some repository? Google code, github?
P.S. Sorry for that super-late response, I appreciate your effort to

Ive got a script but would like to test it before I make it public. If someone has a site with spam and would let me test it, it would be appreciated

If you make your script have some sort of configuration variables or
something
along those lines for these different things, then you could
release it
and
many people could be helped by it.
If you do decide to release it. I would cross post to the mailing
list
for
Mediawiki administrators as well. I'm sure someone on there could
use
it.
Thank you, Derric Atzrott
