Could be. Whoever did it knew that the Wiki software keeps around a certain
number of changed versions of the pages so that you can go back to previous
versions. The person who did this knew that they had to change each page
several times in order to ensure that the every old version of the pages
were deleted and replaced with blank pages.

I don't think it was a SPAM-bot because there was no attempt to load the
Wiki with a SPAM payload.

So, it certainly seems like a malicious attempt to destroy the Wiki.

Neal and I are talking about the possibility of adding a login for people
wanting to change the Wiki. Anyone would be able to read it but anyone
wanting to change content or to put up new content will have to register for
a username and password so we can track who is making changes. It will also
prevent anyone from making anonymous changes or doing malicious damage
anonymously.
