The wiki has suddenly been getting a lot of spam, so last night I
reverted to a 3 day old backup (hope no-one had made edits in that time)
and made the wiki database read only.
Not sure about the best way to go from here... The 'captcha' code did
seem to be working but I lost the code for that when a hard drive died.
The wiki were currently using makes reverting versions difficult.
Perhaps the best solution is to switch again to something like
mediawiki, which is better geared towards fending off spam attacks...
What did you want to update, nick?
