Hi,

I'm subscribed to the wiki RSS feed, but this happened overnight
so I hadn't seen it yet. This seems to happen about once a month
or so - I haven't noticed a big rise in attacks or anything. This guy
did about ten pages - normally only one or two get abused.

Dealing with it is fairly easy - you click on the page history, and
rollback to the last good page, and ban the user. Tell me your wiki
username and I should be able to give you the rights needed to
ban people.
