One technique that has worked for others is to simply ignore
edits with more than 5 links. I would also suggest ignoring
edits which come within a few seconds of each other so that
autobots won't be able to easily work around it. Or maybe
some combination, so that you only allow one link per 15
seconds between edit time and submit time.
If the defacement is coming from a particular site or two, then
a blacklist which rejects any edits containing links to that
URL, or from those URL's which are doing the edits.
Somebody want to look into programming this?
BTW, we may want to consider a switch to mediawiki since it
handles math markup. E.g.,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrete_Fourier_transform
They may already have some spam-blocking tools.
