I'll take care of it.  I have backups of the entire site.  I've banned the IP
and will also be banning the particular link content so they can't spam
anymore.  I didn't check, but I suspect the machine is a zombie since there
are actually multiple ips involved in the attack.  Some of the Wiki spammers
have many machines to use b/c Wiki's have had IP banning for ages.
