If they are really robots, then the most effective method I have
found is a simple password which you reveal to human eyes. For an
example go to:
http://neil.eton.ca/wiki/index.php/Guest/WikiSandbox
and try to edit it.
The other extremely effective tool I have found is the Blocklist2
script using URL fragments. Almost all the wiki spam I get seems to
be advertising drugs at particular web sites, but a few entries like
"block:drugpusher.com" stops a ton of it.
