This wiki has been spammed. As soon as it showed up on Google even a little bit, it got attacked. I reacted by blocking all account creation, so this is no longer a wiki.

The spamming started at the end of September, when this site started to show up just a little bit on Google. I only discovered it a week later. The spammers were discrete, to avoid killing the hen that lays the golden eggs, as it were. (Seen any golden eggs around here lately?) And fortunately the site had been configured to require creating an account before editing. | The spamming started at the end of September, when this site started to show up just a little bit on Google.
