Found more spam links from a single user on the wiki, looks to be the same user that was reversed before.

Someone needs to remove user "Apple" on the wiki, and check into the back end to see what IPs they were using, against known ones on a DNSBL (DNS Blacklist) like SORBS (SORBS (Spam and Open-Relay Blocking System)) and nuke them and any other such spammers by a slow process of exclusion. http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Combating_spam

Digging around a bit further, there are other active spam accounts on the wiki... is there some way us lowly users can link up the accounts on a semi-private page, so that it's easier for the moderators on the wiki to follow up on changes?
