From my other email, and the temporary page at
https://wiki.freedos.org/spammed/ with screenshots, I said it was
"hundreds and hundreds of new pages." But really it's thousands of
spam pages: see the screenshot from the Orphaned pages report, showing
500 pages at a time, sorted alphabetically, and over half of page 1 is
"pages that start with a number." Page 1 ends with "BBB," page 2 goes
to "Fiber," and page 3 goes to "Ideal." After 1,500 wiki entries,
we're only at "I" in the alphabet. So you can see that this is a
really long list of pages. And many hundreds of dummy users. But I
don't think they mangled any existing wiki pages, probably to stay
under the radar.

But there has to be a better way to manage documentation than using a
wiki. And I really liked Bernd's suggestion, see that discussion for
how that could work. I think copying/pasting an initial set of content
into Markdown wouldn't take too long.
