Maybe mediawiki sites can unite to keep a global list of these IP's and block them as soon as they are submitted. Each mediawiki site can auto-submit a spammer IP as soon as it's discovered to the global list. What are the problems with this idea?
There exist such lists for forum spam, for example http://www.stopforumspam.com/ . I suspect a lot of IPs would end up being used for wiki spam too, and of course you can add wiki spam to the list.
