I just did mass deletions of pages and users.

I MAY HAVE ACCIDENTALLY DELETED IMPORTANT PAGES AND/OR REAL USERS

Some long-needed spring cleaning. Somehow at some point my
subscription to all page updates was disabled if they're "trivial"
changes. Perhaps there was some exploit that allowed a spammer to
deactivate that (I'm running a newer/patched-er version of MoinMoin
now). At any rate, a very large number of spammy pages had been added
to the wiki.

Up until now I'd only been "disabling" spam user accounts rather than
outright deleting them. Now there were just scads and scads of
disabled spammer accounts. I went through and deleted every account I
didn't explicitly recognize, which is most of them, and very likely
included some real users.
