The cleanup procedure can be made a whole lot easier if you have a good backend to your wiki. For example, on ROCKDoc I use SubWiki which uses SubVersion as its backend. This make it easy to remove spam: svn merge -r spammyrev:spammyrev-1 . And it's gone. I'm also using the chonqued blacklist to check for spam in contributions and comments as well as maintain a little blacklist of my own. So far there have been 3 or 4 successful spammings in almost 300 revisions which isn't too bad. None of which survived longer than a few hours and was also removed manually from the backend. The part now shows '[SPAM REMOVED]'.
