Unwanted wiki modifications...

Last night one of our wiki pages was updated to include a number of
links to adult sites.
I've cleaned it up. I  was  wondering if we have any means of
preventing this type of modification to the wiki?

  Yeah -- thanks for cleaning this up.  There was a widespread attack
against the ASF wiki pages listed here:

    http://people.apache.org/~joes/wiki_spammer_access

Fortunately, nearly all of it is already cleaned up.  There is a
discussion about this on infrastructure@ with talk of alternatives for
how to deal with this in the future.

  One thing we should do is ask infrastructure@ to remove wiki logins
that are associated with these changes.  If any other strategies for
preventing this come up, we can implement those as well.

Thanks again,
Eddie
