So, yeah, it's been getting pretty out of hand: https://imgur.com/a/XiB52xm

Would it be possible to restrict Wiki account creation somehow so that having a Nasomi account is necessary to edit content?

There's a huge backlog of crap like that to delete too, and I don't have the rights to simply remove articles.

Cheers,

Man, what a mess :x

Maybe add one of those "I am not a robot" thingies, that appear when logging in. I don't know whether they're any good, though.

That's a good idea, there's already such a CAPTCHA when you edit an article with an external link, it could just be there for ALL edits.

Since the existing spam articles will still keep polluting searches, I'd love if there was a way to remove them outright too.

This has been happening for a while. Bogus accounts were being created all day, everyday and they would add links to their talk pages.
