I was getting very, very tired of fixing the wiki pages on the uiuc VW Wiki. Apparently, they have a fix that they plan to implement - in the meantime, something like 100 pages got spammed repeatedly yesterday. That was annoying to cleanup. However, there's a simply way to revert a Wiki page back to a former version. It was a manual process to gather all of the pages along with their last good version, but now I have that. I think - based on the time interval - that the spammer is running a script that edits a set of known pages and inserts his set of bozo links. Well, now I have a script that simply resets all of them. Check out the Recent Changes page - see how closely bunched all of those changes from one system (mine) are? Fight fire with water, I always say...
