In my particular case (osx.gugod.org and pervious wiki.elixus.org),  
wiki site
is spammed by a real person, so Kwiki::Scode doesn't help.Now I use  
Kwiki::TypeKey, and
required typekey authentication for any page edit. That works  
amazingly well.

Quoted from miyagawa, if the sapmer actually login to typekey, we can  
build
a blacklist to ban those accounts.

I think it is because I want my wiki to have good content quality, while
there aren't really much people to contribute. Most people just read  
articles
from the wiki instead of editing it. Since there aren't many editors,  
it might not be an trouble
to have them all registered on typekey.com.  But I do realize that  
required login might
also stop potential editors to edit wiki pages. Every knifes have  
both sides.
