Their Ip changes everytime, and blocking them would only stop them for a limited amount of time.

Plus, MOST of these vandals are "one time" visitors, meaning that they visit this wiki and vandalise only a once or a couple, and never appear again.

Here's an example. In another wiki I usually visit, a Spanish anon translated everything on the page to Spanish. After undo'ing his edit, I haven't seen him again. Right. So what we need is just ban the IP and user. But if there is a scenario where 10 SPAMMERS just attacked our wiki at the same time now how must we do? We can't just ban them already! I mean don't humiliate but at least do something quick to protect those pages! I mean, protecting all pages so only registered users are allowed to edit. But 400+ pages how are we going to protect it all?! I've seen MK wiki has locked all pages so only ADMINS edit it, EVERYTHING
