There have been a couple odd edits in the wiki.

I suspects it's (automated) vandalism.

Keep an eye out please!

It is vandalism for sure. What I'm not sure is if it is automated. If
it is and if becomes common than the first thing that comes to my mind
is to make every new user to wait for a sysop approval before its
registration becomes effective. I looked at the configuration options
[1] and can't find anything about sysop register approval. Can someone
find it or think about something else?

I visit the wiki two times a day.

Sound like a plan :)

Thanks, that's good to know. I get at least once a day, but my new job
is very demanding of my time, so I can't invest as much as I'd like. I
mostly wanted to alert everyone about this problem, I fear it's only
the first run.
