A search for "ringtones" still brings up lots of vandalized pages.
Unfortunately this seems to be a growing problem for all sorts of wikis. Another wiki I use had to disable the automated creation of new accounts. All new accounts are now created manually, and new users must send an e-mail to an admin to request an account.

Yes. There is no more time to discuss what solution is best.
Implement whatever solution, I don't care, but implement it now. Then, once the spammer will be kept at bay and the wiki restored to its former state, we can resume dicussing finer methods. But right now, we need urgent action, not discussion.
Keep on discussing -> wiki destroyed more and faster each day -> loss of all Spring documentation -> no more devs, maps, mods, nor new players -> dead Spring.
This is critical!!

I could take the the wiki offline by renaming the wiki table in the database I think..? (after making a backup) that would give an error with each page request but would probably work to counter the spam. Maybe there is a clean database config option to make the wiki read only but I would have to read up on it.
Has anybody actually had a chat with Fnodia? I guess I need to talk to him then.. the point is he is the admin, I might be able to change some stuff but we decided he would take care of maintenance.
