SoDWiki Bot Accounts?

[Grinkles]

Every day, new accounts are created on the wiki. Take this log, for instance, which shows all the activity from the previous 24 hours:

While I'd love to think our community were growing at such a rapid rate, it seems highly unlikely that account with names such as "Nfvxu8r695z3" and "Jsdep59ssj2" are actual users. It's probably a trivial matter, but it does clutter up the Recent Changes page, making it hard to view actual contributions and changes.

If wiki accounts are set up independently of SOD accounts, might a captcha system help combat this problem?

Might make more sense to link the wiki account to a game account creation or forums account for edits. Let me see if this is doable.
