[PAR_WIG1350]

My proposal (speaking as 7h3 5up3rn47ur4l, an active contributor to FIRST wiki) is to archive all of the legitimate content (the most important parts at least, just to keep it simple). Then admins would Purge the wiki of all entries and users (it would be nice if we could filter out valid users and bypass them, but it's not necessary). After all of the spam and spambots are gone, anti-bot countermeasures would be put in place. Restoring entries from the archives could be done by an admin-bot (like the CD "archiver"). This would not only bring the wiki to a usable state, it would also give the admins an opportunity to do some serious updates to the wiki's software.
