I've e-mailed the administrator of the wiki so hopefully he can block those users. It's a constant battle and I don't think there are any easy solutions. That reverting seems to be being done by some automated script bot. The two similarly named accounts you list were even fighting each other over a few pages - install:start for example. I suspect this particular script is only capable of reverting back one edit. A few months back I removed spam and improved a page as a single edit and the script just reverted to the last spam page. On some pages, I've just made two changes: first to revert the spam and then add some arbitrary changes. I'm hoping that doing it as two edits will stop it reverting the spam at least for a short while. > Is the Wiki dead? In that case, maybe the reference to it should be > removed from the manuals? There's plenty of scope for the content to be improved but it isn't dead. Oliver
