Seems reasonable to me, though I'd suggest __NOTSPAM__ so that you can track
the pages easily using the built-in magic word tracking page_props table.

And rather than a bot, the wiki could just delete the pages itself. You could
just put logic in the code that viewing the page when it's older than 24 hours
deletes it. Extension:SelfDestruct or whatever.
