Google for CAPTCHA solving or CAPTCHA farmers, they even have
automated API's
Add to that things like onetime email address and even things like the
can not post until clicks a link checks are useless.
So having a community wiki and being spam free is not an automated
process it requires a lot of manual work.

So I'm sure the admins would like any help they can get from the community

Humm it is of course a community wiki so We could delete the spam links.
We don't have permissions to delete pages of course.

This is a problem with most Wiki's I admin a medium sized wiki and
have to delete spam pages every day.
