I already blocked about 40 spamming users in the english wiki yesterday,
which has stopped the spam attack for now.

However, I did not delete all the spam pages - Special:Recentchanges

No, I will not delete them manually.

I already asked the admins to install the Nuke extension
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Nuke
which allows mass-deletion.

Obvious question is who did it and why?
Solution depends on reasons and source of change, we can add more left
margin (or padding), or revert the change if it is not in a wiki
software, or done by your boss :) [Rajko M. in opensuse-web]
