WikiSpam is a wikiwide problem. It won't be solved but wikiwide. 

These spammers add links to wikis, blogs, bulletin boards, and guestbooks so their Google page rank goes up. We need to all help keep an eye on this at all wikis and help clean it up where we can. WikiSpam in general is described at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blog_spam.
