Apparently, I created an account here a long time ago ... I don't recall doing so.

I seem to be doing a lot of vandalism removal; perhaps the site operators should get some captcha action going on here, as it appears the vandals are bots in this case; one bot comes in and tests the water with a short word added to the top of a document, then later on, another bots notices the word hasn't yet been removed and follows up with some linking. There are captcha extensions for mediawiki, and there is also a way to prevent the desire for such linking by pushing external links through a referral-scrubbing URL like http://google.com/url?q=http://external-link-URL (I don't recall Google's referral scrubber that skips the warning). I expect there are mediawiki extensions for that, too. See WikiPedia:Spam in blogs for more info, and MetaWikiPedia:Anti-spam features for mediawiki solutions.
