Hi, Tel -
I don't understand what's going on with all those usernames. I checked
their contributions, and there's nothing there. How do these enable the
spam? I don't want to accidentally block a real user, either.
Also, if I both block anon edits and block creation of new users, how will
anyone be able to contribute to the wiki?
Please forgive me if these are "duh" questions. I'm just getting started
with wikis.

Hi, Tels -
Have you looked at the various extensions that
let you block spam
before it happens?
I haven't added any extensions at all. Where do I find these?
Always use google and use the first hit! :-)
Google for "mediawiki extensions"
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Mediawiki_Extensions
Google for "block spam mediawiki"
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Anti-spam_Features
Also have a look at:

Seems the spammers simple register themselves as users on your system, so
you might want to restrict user creation and/or disallow anonymous edits,
too.
Hope this heps,
Tels
