a) restrict wiki to English only b) only accept modifications with an explanatory comment (most of the spam ones don't)
Those both seem sensible steps.

If you do that and don't offer OpenID logins, I won't edit it any more. Then again, I've not had much time to edit it for a few months, but surely I'm not the only member with Trivial Web Registration Fatigue? Requiring approval also seems to go against "wikiwiki" meaning "quick". Finally, even if you require logins, you will still get some spambot attacks eventually: I did on my AFFS wiki...
