This is kinda "stupid" and "basic" measure and would involve on some
programming/code changing.
Assuming that the BOTs are "blind" and that they post information on
whatever field available on any page, why not place a field, not
visible on the layout, to the humans, or if visible with instruction
not to place any info in it. The BOTs will place some info on it,
right? They are "blind". The when posting, "just" verify if that field
is empty or not, if not then you got a no human posting and the
page/post shouldn't be accepted.
I'm no expert on fighting BOT's, neither I know if this can be made on
mediawiki.
If this is nonsense, just discard.

Halo Sergio,
there are two kind of spam attacking the wiki
1. editing existing pages
2. creating new spam pages
for the first type I don't know how to monitor it unless I open the
pages one-by-one to check it.
the second type, I can see the new pages by clicking Special page
called
New Pages.
but either of it, all user that used to create or edit the pages is
non-existing, they don't have profile.
If you expertise on MediaWiki and have time to check QMT Wiki page, I
think Jake can grant you a privileges.
I have ask these requirement to be implemented on Wiki but I don't know
will it suffice or not to minimize wikispam
============================
How about we turn on new account's email validation feature?
Please see:
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/wiki/mediawiki/83969
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Combating_spam#Restrict_editing
And restrict no anonymous editing/creating
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Preventing_access#Restrict_anonymous_editing
# Anonymous users can't edit pages
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false;
# Anonymous users can't create pages
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['createpage'] = false;
These options are all implemented.
