Yes, I am trying to fix it but the spam users are creating new pages
faster than I can fix it. I am concerned we are going to need to revert
the entire wiki to an earlier state.

I see problem users Johnthe and Sanjaypatel but the fixes are geting
re-spammed so quickly I am afraid it is some automated attack that will
be difficult to clean up. The other problem is that they are _moving_
pages, meaning we have to move them back as well as undo the edits.

I am going to give up trying to undo this until we can get a better
handle on a process of cleanup.
