Well banning IPs wouldn't help with the current crop of wiki spam as
currently all that drug cr** is added at the same time from multiple
machines (with dynamic IPs).  From the looks it is a synchronized
distributed action, where they start at one wiki page and pass the links
to computers at other IP addresses and all of the edits are done at
roughly the same time.

Since I have very limited access at the moment I simply blocked usage of
the names they try to use (the wiki requires a name [any will do] but the
ones spamming the fdos wiki seem to reuse the same set).
