On dealing with spam: when we had spam in the past I was careful to actually delete it rather than just undoing the changes that had been made, because the latter means the spam doesn't linger in the history.
Changes to wiki pages are easy enough to delete by reverting the revision. We used to have a plugin for deleting tickets and changes to tickets, but I don't see that now. How do we delete tickets?
