I don't know anything about wikis or what your wiki is exactly, but
having a username/password protection on editing seems like a good idea,
with some trusted person (or people) set up as an admin for the wiki who
can grant edit privledges on request.

Or perhaps for anonymous posters you could add a "You have to type in
the phrase you see in the following graphic" sort of C/R.  This wouldn't
prevent individual evildoers but should protect from bots.
