I wouldn't go that far - I've only been seeing 1-2 spams per day.  (They
will show up twice - once when spammed, and once when fixed)

The wiki is now set to only allow registered users to edit.  Of course,
there already was a spam page added last night by a registered user.  It
would appear that a captcha on registration is the logical next step.
