On MediaWiki, you can tell reCaptcha to show the captcha when links are being posted. In fact, I beleive it is the default behavior. If you're getting a ton of spam and have few volunteers, here's a few suggestions:
The following will force all groups, except for sysops and bots, to show the captcha: $wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['skipcaptcha'] = false;$wgGroupPermissions['autoconfirmed']['skipcaptcha'] = false; If you want to manually confirm users, make a new group and add it to skipcaptcha. In addition, adding a recent-changes channel for the wiki allows vandal-fighting tools like VandalFighter to connect and show changes in real-time to your volunteers, in addition to volunteers themselves. Installing patrolling extensions can also help. Adding a blacklisting extension can allow you to automatically block people who post certain patterns. Hope this helps.
