I'd say that it is a bit too early to discard it, but we are obviously
up against automated programs making these changes.  As long as people
maintain their pages it should not be a problem, but perhaps an undo/redo
button would be nice.

Preventing it would require some sort of user registration, would it not?
What is the word from Wiki space on these graffiti bots, is Wiki in as
much danger as email in the long term?
