[Phpwiki-talk] Wiki spam, an emerging trend?

[Neale P. <ne...@wo...>]

I got some spam on my wiki last night :<  It appears this fellow is going
through google to find PHPWiki-rendered pages, and inserting his little
advertisement.  You can see the result here:

  http://wiki.woozle.org/BuyingaNewComputer?action=diff&version=5

Sure, it was easy to take out, but when someone writes a program to do
this automatically, I guess we're all going to have to require
authentication for edits, or spend large chunks of time removing ads.
