I've been wondering if we get something like https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.comalatech.workflow to then have a larger group of people approve changes on the wiki, or at least new pages. To have them go through a review before being made public. (That might need a newer version of Confluence though). Another similar option is to somehow moderate the changes/page additions until they are deemed to be human, and then no moderation queue.
There seems to be some "themes" to the spam pages, and to maybe collect those into a ban list for pages containing (I doubt any plugin or legitimate page would have information on Indonesian furniture, or pirated movies)...
