Massive spam on the wiki ?

I discovered, when browsing the wiki that some page body has been changed. It seems that a list of links replace now the content of these pages.

The changes come today Sunday, June 5, 2005 12:12:12 am.

Here is an example : http://wiki2.archlinux.org/index.php/if … %20Manager

Maybe every pages can be autoreverted, based on the spamming ip ?

What I did to fix it:

1) Go to page history

2) Click on the version before the spammy one.

3) At the bottom click the "edit old revision" button.

4) Happily read the warning and save.

Though a way to do it automatically for all pages edited by that IP would be quicker...

We should get rid of the open wiki, and move to  a wiki with proper log in.
