Yes Sebastian do that but he is on holidays. The best way for now is to 
revert it by ourselves. But we can ban address. But Patrick can lock 
page edition. I set the final status and I ask him, ok ?

No, no required login on the wiki. The spaming is very low. The 
MediaWiki crew is working on robot program, which automatically revert 
page. We cannot deny people contribution just because of some spaming.

But I can wrote a note for contributor about what they can do if they 
encounter a spam.
