i've noticed that spam bots seem to be attacking the wiki (just click the random page button and theres probably like a 99% chance of getting one), i thinnnnk you may want to find a way to prevent and then delete the spam pages (if it gets too bad, we may have to require only registered users being able to post)... i don't know if there's such thing as a spam trap for a wiki, but nobody seems to be paying attention to this so there you go...

to be honest, i don't see the problem with only letting authorized users (that is, users with a pokeheroes account) work on the wiki, if they have an account here on pokeheroes it shouldn't be a problem to have an authorized and registered account on the wiki? the spam bots gone would be pretty awesome though

as a matter of fact, that may be a good idea, but then there is the problem of having to delete like 150565289363892 spam pages, although you could (possibly) put up some sort of robot to do that...
