In recent weeks, Inkscape's Wiki is increasingly targeted by (presumably) spam bots which create a new user and a new page with spam (including uploaded images) [1].
1) Could the wiki use tighter rules for the creation of new users (captchas?) that can't be exploited as easily as apparently the current configuration?
2) Who does have admin credentials to change the current wiki configuration?
3) Who else does have admin rights to clean up (delete pages, block user accounts)? At the moment, it seems as if 'Legio noctis' is the only one with sufficient admin rights who cares and cleans up from time to time, but if the spam surges as it has in recent days, maybe this clean-up task could be shared by several users, or even done by a script?
