I appologise if I just killed any of your content but this page was spammed (although much was hidden with a 1px div) (check the diffs to see). A key marker used by the spammers caused your wiki to show up within google.com - the spam bot changes the spam links daily using the marker which it incriments to show which links are yet to be added to your history... it benifits them as histories do autolink (it turns out) but it is still a mean thing to do. On my wiki I banned all the IPs used to reduce the chances of more. It mainly hits the help page and the main page.
