 It looks like you got one of the pages, but this page is also in your wiki: [[Politics slows Congress in 2007‎]].  It happened to a wiki that I maintain, too.  Once you start getting hacked, you'll keep getting hacked.  They have a randome username generator, so you'll have to block new users every couple of days.  What I did is install a thing on my wiki that made it so that you have to type in a math formula if you're trying to add content with external links.  That totally stopped all of the spam, without making it too much of a pain for users, since most users add content rather than links.  I don't know the link to the thing I installed, but you should be able to find one.  Also, you should check [[Special:Newpages]] to make sure that you clean out all of the spam pages.

 :This wiki is a little different in what most users do.  Links are common with music (this isn't an encyclopedia, per se; it's more of a repository for hymns, hymn information, and helpful things about hymns—though it can be used like an encyclopedia).  I use links a lot, anyway: so it would be a huge hassle for me.  Do you have any other ideas?  Do you think just doing that at account creation would fix the problem?  I think it would be better if we could do that for all users except for approved users (that way, if I know someone's not a spammer, I can make it so they don't have to do it).  Is that currently an option with MediaWiki?  Thanks for the help, by the way.  [[User:Veramet|Veramet]] 23:36, 8 January 2008 (MST)
