Wiki is spammed

Great. We had to upgrade the Wiki and can no longer use the bulletin board user list to filter out unwanted users. I guess we are going to have to shutdown new users completely. I hate Wiki's.
I'll get it cleaned up in a bit.

Skuzzy, also note that it looks like the upgrade destroyed wiki templates or something like this, every plane entry looks mess:

Ok, cleaned up the mess, disabled new account creation, for the moment. Due to WikiMedia woefully inadequate tools, for cleaning up a mess like this, I rolled back to a backup from yesterday. It would have taken weeks to manually clean it up.
It is quite possible for some of the templates needing to be reworked. I had to work on the primary one to get it to work again. The upgrade process was not the best I have seen, but then again, we waited far too long to do this.
It may take some time to get it all back together again. Any help anyone wants to provide would be very welcome. We cannot go back to the old version.

I sent a request, as I'd like to try to hop in and clean up some of these entries. The wiki (no offense to HTC, etc...it happens) looks atrocious and needs some TLC.
SlidingHorn, reporting for duty! :salute

Still...
looks like spammers love black widows...

I certainly don't want to be a pest, but just curious as to the typical turnaround time for getting a wiki account confirmed? :salute

I think there might have been a typo in my email when I set it up then, as I tried to reset the password to get another email and nothing (in spam or otherwise). Sending an email to the address in your sig
