I did a google search for "moderated wiki markdown" Take a look at this:
http://sourceforge.net/adobe/smp/wiki/Home/ It has a moderated button that pulls up a list of pending changes, which can then be marked as spam, approved, or deleted. This is sourceforge's new Allura system -- you might have seen the announcement a few days back. Unfortunately, it's part of an integrated system. Don't know how easy it would be to just get the part we needed or if we could get infra to support it. It appears that it's composed of plugins, so maybe it wouldn't be a big deal to just get the wiki and moderation system. it looks like it's pretty simple to add new functionality by adding new plugins. It's all ASF 2.0 licensed.
