I use AbuseFilter (for MediaWiki) on Appropedia, and it's great. It's used
on Wikipedia, so it's very stable. I mainly set it to only filter edits by
anons and brand new editors, but I also give a warning/suggestion notice to
anyone who blanks a page.
If someone installs it, and gives me rights to the AbuseFiter, I can add
the filter code that is working well on Appropedia, and I'm available to
help when new filters need to be added.
Ideally you'll also have someone with deletion rights to check every day or
two. Monitoring Special:NewPages
<http://wiki.lxde.org/en/Special:NewPages>is also good because most
spam comes as new pages.
