OK, we might be onto something. I've wrote a script to determine the deleted pages: 20162.
Should I just go ahead and nuke those?
Probably, yes.
One common way for spammers to abuse wikis is to intentionally get the pages deleted, so that they live on permanently in the revision history.
See this example from today: It's rightfully deleted as spam: http://wiki.winehq.org/SheriOci But the "Get Info" link leads you to the old revision, with the linkspam intact: http://wiki.winehq.org/SheriOci?action=recall&rev=1
I don't know if there's a way to keep Moinmoin from preserving revision history on deleted pages, but it might be sufficient to simply disable that. I doubt there's much useful history on deleted pages anyway.
seems done, and know what? The wiki seems to be more than 10 times faster. (i tried e.g. editing -> preview) good choice! Thanks Dimi for working on this!!!
