Well I got a burst of un-laziness :) And it doesn't require any type of
account on the wiki to edit. Also it doesn't require any type of
captcha to submit an edit.
Do any combination of those would help. I have seen some require
captcha's for known account people, and then if they have an account
they don't have to answer the captcha.

Sorry I am being a bit lazy as I could probably check this, but here
are a few things that might help.
Require an account on the wiki, and then require the account either 1)
be authenticated via e-mail, or 2) it has to be approved by an admin
You could also use some sort of captcha, I think those math ones work
pretty well. You just have to do some single digit match, easy for a
computer to do, but most engines expect the pictures.
Just a few thoughts.

Wiki spam is reaching an all-time high. A week or so ago I
implemented some spam filtering into the wiki since we had 20 pages
or so with casino ads and what not. Seems all that did was piss them
off. I deleted/rolled back/replaced 75 pages or so this morning that
had been spammed into oblivion, all from the weekend.
I've now added some regex scanning into the contribution engine of
the wiki. It's now blocking specific words like wellbutrin, cialis, etc.
Now I'm not a regex master or anything remotely close. If you happen
to see some spam on the wiki and can help out with pattern matching
please email me off-list. The whole deal is set up for /i for those
that know about it.
I also think I got all the spam cleaned out of the wiki pages, but if
you come across one either fix it or send me a message off-list with
the link to the specific page in question so I can fix it.
Thanks.
Damn spammers.
