I wonder if those changes happen automatically (not really sure) and if some better protection should be introduced (and if it would help), such as CAPTCHAs. This has been discussed before, see https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3860 for some context. It's probably not the biggest issue, but annoying for those that spend time trying to keep the wiki clean of vandalism.
I know that the math captcha has been cracked. I use the same extension on my highly trafficked wiki.
I switched to the image captcha and that has stopped 99% of the spam link edits. However, there are still spam bots editing my wiki that I cannot stop. Instead of spamming links they just delete a majority of the page text. To block this I protect all effected pages for about 2 weeks and it stops it.
I've given up on the IP blocking. They use every open proxy on the earth to randomly attack you.
