I'm not sure exactly what spam filters are being used on the codex Wiki install, but there are a few spam extensions that could be installed and the extensive spam lists from wikipedia could be used to at least slow down the worst of the spam.
The spam lists can be updated on a special wiki page too so updating is easy. Quite handy.
