It seems to me that implementing some sort of logging of changes, sent to a trusted user (wiki owner?) would be very useful. This could be sorted by size of change (large changes are very likely defacement), or type of change (if all that was changed was a hyperlink, it was most likely either a spam or a broken link being fixed. Broken links will most likely not be all that common, so the signal to noise ratio here ought to be high), or any number of other things. Then, the trusted user(s) could check up on the likely spams, and ignore those changes which were unlikely to be spams.
