Wikipedia seems to be doing great. As long as you have an history
option to roll back and a mechanism to detect and temporarily ban ip's
based on anomaly behavior, like updating 30 pages in 2 seconds, I
think a wiki works.

If I look at f.ex the page for synthesis and I see viagra there, I'll
just revert the page to whatever suits me and the next person will see
the page as that. There is really no maintenance to a wiki.

I don't want to come off rude and I can't say that I've tried myself
to run a wiki, but it surely seems to be possible, thinking about all
the public wikis' I've visited.

A wiki that requires registration hurts us more than spam, in my
opinion.
