    User marked as 82.195.131.130 is making stupid links and spamming.

    Funny thing is, that's boards' IP address.

    Obviously there's some flaw in wikimedia that spammers take advantage of.

    It ain't a flaw, we just forgot to tell everyone how we're organising the boards right now.

    There is an automated spam script that is hitting numerous wikis with those links. But it only effects certain pages and then the user has to be anonymous.

    Not sure why it is the same IP as others though.
