I probably made moinmoin sound like it was insecure. It is just as=20 secure as other wikis, but the nature of a wiki is that anyone can edit=20= them. Some people have written automated programs (bots) to insert=20 links to their sites at the bottom of wikis. The bots search the web=20 for wikis they know how to interact with and insert links. It's called=20= "wiki spam". I was getting about 150 pornographic links across all 8000 pages of my=20= wiki. I'd take them off, then they'd show up again in a week or so. I=20= wasn't able to block them by IP because the user kept moving around. I've found out since that the new version of moinmoin has measures=20 against wiki spam. So perhaps it is actually less vulnerable to these=20 attacks now than other wikis. I really like moinmoin because it is=20 very python-like.
