Any admin can easily delete those junk posts with the 'delete' tab and
also protect problem pages.  A captcha might help, I haven't seen one for
mediawiki before. 

Check the "recent changes" log now, and you'll see the spam is gone. :)

i agree that pdpedia has lost lots of it's initial charme just because of
this: according to the "recent changes" page, of the last 376 changes 361
were garbage.


luckily most of these garbage changes are targeted on few pages
(Template:vanilla has 257 changes; Template:jmmmp has 99 changes)
