I also have recaptcha installed on OSgrid's mediawiki and this also did not stop the spam on our wiki, we were getting like 30-40 a day i had like 3 different captcha's installed all at once, and it seemed to make no difference. I really hope someone can figure it out, i would really like to open it back up some day.
