However, the solution with captchas on external urls is not a good soution - if a (human) spammer bypasses it, you still have to manually check it. Whitelisting/Blacklisting could help automating this job (as in MoinMoin).
Captchas on external URLs is just the default for the reCaptcha extension. This setting was not explicitly turned on as part of the anti-SPAM stuff. If this change (turning off the Captcha on external URLs) works, I'll document it and roll it into the main LocalSettings.php file - it's a temp change for now until it's tested.
Whitelisting/Blacklisting works if you know which URLs to Whitelist or Blacklist. It's a big manual job either way. I've implemented a regex for blocking certain SPAM word combinations, but this is only part of the overall solution to keeping the Wiki clean.
Right now, with the reCaptcha on new user registrations, plus BadBehavior, and the regex, we seem to be winning the Spam battle :-)
