I've just reported another spam. Here is the procedure.

Open:
http://www.wikia.com/wiki/Talk:Spam_Blacklist

Click box at top "Report a spammer here".

In the Subject/headline box, enter a name for the spam.
You might put the title or topic of the page.
In my case, the page had spam links, so I entered one of the spam hosts:
 *.fasgdmao.cn

In the text box for the message, I entered:

Page of spam links posted by IP 91.121.67.145 on the Vim wiki:

http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Deymay

Please delete ... thanks --~~~~

---end---

The last time I did this (24 hours ago), I first edited the spam page on the
Vim wiki, and replaced all its text with "Removed spam". I then opened the
history of the page, and copied the link for how the page was entered by the
spammer. That was the link I entered on the 'report a spammer' page.

However, 20 minutes after I reported the problem, a wizop had deleted the
spam page. Interestingly, all history of the page disappeared (my edit had
been visible in 'Recent changes', but after deletion the only sign of the
spam page is a reference to the deletion log).
