some countermeasures:

Pages Spotted

Bot editions

We seem to be having a new kind of vandalism... in the last couple of days (early April, 2007) I've been spotting and rolling back (others too) several editions that truncate pages at the first '&' or remove the '+' signs. They come from several IP addresses, so blocking them doesn't seem to be a valid solution... any ideas?

Could this could be the precursor or a beta test (zombie?) to spam wikis...? --Xavi 10:47, 12 April 2007 (EDT)
