I think the RSS feed only shows the RecentChanges in the "(Main)" namespace [1], which does not include the user pages. I look at the RecentChanges in the "all" namespace [2] , which makes it harder to read, but shows some new pages in the "User" namespace. In this view, I see the leftover spam user page creations. I delete those and block the respective user, just as you delete the normal pages and block those users. > I'm absolutely in favor of taking a more aggressive approach.

I haven't found time to read the additional information from mediawiki.org. Maybe there are technical solutions to this, but if not, I'd prefer administrator validation over the continuous spam pages.
