[maemo-community] Spam comments on the wiki

Looking at
http://wiki.maemo.org/index.php?title=Special:Recentchanges&limit=500&days=30 
you can see that spam comments are added rather often nowadays, both by
registered accounts but mostly by anonymous edits.
http://wiki.maemo.org/Special:Ipblocklist lists blocked accounts and
IPs.

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.
