So I went to the rails wiki to check some OSS projects in ruby and I get  
a  
bunch garbage for drug ads. WTF?

Wiki Spam… unfortunately, until the owners of the wiki put in some  
sort of protection, it’s just going to keep happening. I used to  
revert the spammed pages I’d come across, but it’s an unending battle,  
especially with such an open system.

When you see a spam page, just keep clicking the Back in Time link at  
the bottom, until you see the correct page, then click the Rollback  
link to make that page the current page.

One of the problems with having an open editable wiki.

It’s been fixed…
