Exactly this.
Only Rogean and Rahvin have access to the wiki's box. Rogean doesn't have time to deal with it, and Rahvin hasn't played here in years. Thus, the spamming continues.
However, in response to Frission messaging him, Rahvin did (just yesterday) ban some spam accounts. Now, such bans are pointles, because the spammer doesn't re-use accounts, but it suggests he might be willing to do a more meaningful fix.
Ideally that would mean adding a CAPTCHA to the wiki, but when we last spoke (six months ago) Rahvin claimed that was impossible without upgrading our MediaWiki software (and breaking our custom extensions). However he could (and hopefully will) change our security questions to the set I sent him when we last messaged.
And of course, if either he or Rogean were to give me access to the box, I
might be able to write a custom CAPTCHA (I hate coding in PHP, but I'd make a sacrifice for the wiki) ... but after asking for years, I'm not exactly holding my breath waiting
