I run a Wiki.  I've contributed to several Wikis run by other people.

If there's one thing I can tell you with *absolute* certainty, it's that
links to pornographic sites -- dozens, hundreds of them -- on the front
page (or the help page, or the German help page, or ...) are spam.

Now, I'm not saying you put porn-spam links on Wikipedia.  But links can
most certainly be used as a form of spam.  I've seen it myself.

(Be careful when you use words like "can't" or "never" or "always".  They
usually turn around and bite you.)
