Maybe mediawiki sites can unite to keep a global list of these IP's and block

problems with this idea?

There exist such lists for forum spam, for example http://www.stopforumspam.com/ . I suspect a lot of IPs would end up being used for wiki spam too, and of course you can add wiki spam to the list.
