Hey, too,

There might be some other social reactions that might contradict the
intention of spammers (hoping it had not been a clever trick of the only
competitor ;-) ):

http://wiki.opensuse.org/index.php?title=Main_Page&diff=19922&oldid=19611

http://wiki.opensuse.org/index.php?title=Main_Page&diff=prev&oldid=17351
...

And could/should be special features/tools against this be imported to
the wiki ?:

- "Wiki spam

This is using the open editability of wiki systems to place links from
the wiki site to the spam site. The subject of the spam site is often
unrelated to the wiki page where the link is added. In early 2005,
Wikipedia implemented a default "nofollow" value for the "rel" HTML
attribute. Links with this attribute are ignored by Google's PageRank
algorithm. Forum and Wiki admins can use these to discourage Wiki spam.
