The basic idea is to set up a honeypot wiki. This would probably be a copy of a real wiki to make it as realistic as possible. Then add a special page to list all anonymous IPs that have ever edited the wiki, and use that information to maintain block lists on other wikis. There should probably be warnings plastered all over it so that human users know not to edit the wiki anonymously.
That sounds very good. I personally maintain a wiki, and link spammers are really, really annoying.
Although this would only be helpful against linkspammers that operate totally automated, otherwise, they'd find the wiki, and they'd think, "Hey! What's this? I'm not going to spam this!"
