Spammer on the freeciv wiki

There's an unfortunate soul posting nonsense articles all over the wiki.

Here is an example of their article entry on "Soldier"
totally accurate battle simulator appearance green war helmet a army green shirt and pants with grey shoes m16 rifle weapon,
If it were only a few of these I wouldn't really care, but the quantity of these nonsense entries is getting overwhelming and ridiculous.

What can we do about it and to whom do we report it?

Cheers

Thanks. I'll have a look (I guess nobody else would...)

They might simply have been in a wrong wiki - haven't realized that they are in freeciv-specific part of wikia. Thus I didn't outright delete those posts, but give them some time to save their pages if they so wish. IP is blocked (though if they are malicious that won't help much)

This looks like a spambot. Share a link?
