Given the posting was clearly an abuse of edit privilege, it sounds like the current MediaWiki instance is being operated correctly under its current administration. If you had made a similar edit on Wikipedia, something very similar would have happened. MediaWiki provides excellent tools to allow a community to be self-policing without the need for many specially-authorised roles or elaborate bureaucracy. I hope a future AOOo wiki will be just as permissive and just as well policed by its (informally-constituted) community. S.
