Does anyone know why we are seeing these changes to the wiki? Thanks
Kim is right.
There is/are manual spammers who are creating these. The automated
spammers cannot cope with answering the question, but at this point,
our wiki is open to anyone...and the answers to the questions are
easily found.
After the first one, which Knut Anders deleted, *I* have been deleting
them, but depending on how many we get I might get very tired of this.
We may at one point think of implementing the restrictions other
projects have gone to already - see:
http://wiki.apache.org/general/OurWikiFarm#per_wiki_access_control_-_tighten_your_wiki_just_a_little.2C_benefit_just_a_lot
This suggests we could create an Admin group to which we'd have to
request access to, and then only those with access can modify the
wiki.
It's a sad thing that this is necessary for an open source project,
but there it is.

following further point:
- we may need to log an issue like this:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-6010
For now, I'll just delete that puppy...

Looks like we have a consensus building for locking down the wiki. If we
file an issue like INFRA-6010, then we'll need an initial list of legal
contributors. Anyone know how to get a list of current wiki names which
we could prune back to the ones we know?
Thanks,
