how about a captcha on the sign up page?

that should help with the bots.

is there support for that in media wiki?

Hi,
  I do ban them, but they're just 'bot accounts, I expect. Currently
you need to sign-up to edit, but there's no restriction/criteria on
sign-up, so any MediaWiki-aware 'bot can & is able to sign up to edit.
Now we're on a non-SF server though, I'll see what other options we
might have...
