It's not even rendering, I'm just getting long blocks of error messages. Just thought that I'd sound the alarm.

Yep, I beat ya to it :D

You can still look up the info by hitting the "Edit" link at the top of each page. It's a real hassle.

Talked with dislekcia about it by PM. He's aware of it, but doesn't know what the cause (or solution) is.

There are a few Stack Overflow threads about that error. That may help.

Look like the spambots had no problem hitting the wiki in the interim. Sigh, got some cleanup ahead of me :-(

I'm glad you've fixed the problems, but could you guys check if the capcha (and other anti-spam measures) are configured correctly? The wiki is getting a shitstorm of spam that leads me to believe there's some vulnerability being exploited by the spambots. They usually can't get this kind of volume, and just give up for the day if I ban a few of their IP's.

Got the questyCaptcha configured, and I also restored the wiki database to what it was yesterday when I did the upgrade, so any spam made since then should be dead.

Thanks. It's nice not to have to clean it manually for once.
