Hi Mark,
Has there been discussion in wiki circles about the best way to stop spambots like [[Special:Contributions/Literacyguru|Literacyguru]] before they change hundreds of articles? I'm sure there's some sort of rollback script, but I don't have the familiarity with bots that I do with other aspects of MediaWiki, so I'm rolling back the vandalism one article at a time. Still, if "editors" that edit multiple articles in an inhumanly short time frame could be flagged, that might be helpful.
