Author spam in wiki.debian.net

The user "packceo" has been adding spam to the next pages of the wiki:

http://wiki.debian.net/?ConvinceMichaelMediaWikiRocks
http://wiki.debian.net/?ConvinceMichaelMediaWikiRocks
http://wiki.debian.net/?Debconf6LayoutUpdate
http://wiki.debian.net/?DebianInstallerBrokenThings
http://wiki.debian.net/?DebianInstallerToday
http://wiki.debian.net/?DebianProfile3
http://wiki.debian.net/?Kde34
http://wiki.debian.net/?DebConf6Meetings
http://wiki.debian.net/?DebianInstallerEtchBeta1Prep
http://wiki.debian.net/?DebianKernelSargeUpdateStatus

I've restored to the last revision all of them, is the first time that
happens?

No, I did a "cleanup" of a group of pages a while ago, with new
revisions with the spam content removed instead of reverting to
earlier revisions.

This means unfortunately that those revisions still exists with spam
links, and would still be available from google. If you have decent
logs, search for changes done by StigSandbeckMathisen.

I had exactly the same problem with my wiki from a Chinese guy running a=20
crawler script which posted links to his own site.

Just add the word "spammed" to the top of the spammed page which can be
searched for and fixed.

After having read this - wouldn't it be easier to report the user doing
the spamming, and simply reverting all changes done by this user
(probably the users spamming will not have add valuable content)?

Who is in charge of the wiki, I would have liked to CC him/her.

It would be, but I don't have an easy way of seeing all edits from a
particular user.

Currently, I run the wiki, but it is moving soon (?) to
wiki.debian.org and will then be Someone Else's Problem.

There are a limited number of wiki which have this functionality.
Neither the current nor the new wiki have that, as far as I know.

Please excuse the late response. On the new wiki there is information
about the edited pages per user, though, I don't know if the files
will be overwritten by a new session. There's also the history that
can be used with an intelligent grep equivalent. It's a bit work to
aggregate the information and fix pages accordingly, but it is possible
at least.

Regards,

Joey
