I've started doing PhpWiki development again. When I upgraded the
Nomic Wiki to the current version, wiki spam went from endemic to near
zero overnight. The key thing for the Nomic Wiki was prohibiting edits
that add more than n external links, with n small enough to thwart
spam bots and large enough not to annoy real users. PhpWiki now does
that by default.
