I'm wondering what it takes to change the navigation links. Possibly it takes a more powerful account than I have. This may be a good thing. Here's an example of a wiki taken over by spambots: http://dbc.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl?Getting_Started

You need to have admin rights to change navigation links. I can take care of that for you. Let me know what you want as a top level navigation link and on that link you can have more links that regular users can edit. -Chester

Wikipedia has had experience with Wikibots including the problem of Vandelbots, there may be some experience there that would be useful.
