I host a number of MediaWikis and have some experience running 
and maintaining them. The biggest one is http://worms2d.info/. I 
consider spam a solved problem, on that wiki at least.

I'd love to look into writing a wiki syntax converter to move all 
the content from ProWiki to a new MediaWiki instance (and a bot 
to replace the ProWiki pages with links to the new pages), but 
unfortunately I don't have the time to spare for such an 
endeavour at the moment. But if the D community is interested in 
just a MediaWiki setup on the same server as the D forum (with me 
taking care of maintenance), I could look into that.
