Is there any way to put up one of those stupid yahoo-esque puzzle tests in order to post to the wiki?
MoinMoin 1.6 has them, http://moinmo.in/HelpOnTextChas but, as I understand, the version running on scipy.org is older than this and someone would need to upgrade it first. (But I believe this would pay off -- spending time on deleting spam manually is nearly wasted time IMO.) To use this feature sensibly, some people would have to maintain a list of known-good users, so that frequent editors wouldn't have to fill in the CAPTCHA on every edit. Since passing this test is required also on account registration, one could perhaps use Known as the textchas_disabled_group to limit CAPTCHAS to registration, and not to editing. -- Pauli Virtanen
