Something like that "spam cleanup script"? :
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Anti-spam_features#Spam_cleanup_script
http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/SpamBlacklist/cleanup.php
http://help.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Spam_cleanup_script:

You are referring to
automatic detection and manual deleting
or full automatic deletion
(I would really prefer the first to the second)?

2) Or/and a list page (easy to find) a user can use to put spammed wiki
pages on it and some users with privileges that put that page on their
watchlists?

3) Or/and an extension with a blacklist for some links before they are made:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SpamBlacklist
But this may be a very hard act - would you (plural, list) rate this
useful and appropriate (more useful than harmful)?
And in what way:
3 a) Import just the extension without using the not-openSUSE blacklist
and create a blacklist of openSUSE's own (with a page for suggestions
for this blacklist)?
3 b) Import the extension and the media-Wiki blacklist and use a
witelist of openSUSE's own (with a page for suggestions for this whitelist)?
