The base wiki seems okay , just the lpc2100  at91xx  ML67Q and LH75 parts.
The spammer is still modifying it ? or appears to be.

Base part was okay when I first checked it.

Hopefully someone has a back up of it
Seems to be happening to quite a few wikis in the last few weeks.
Might be time to mirror it in a few places.

Either modified by a spammer or hacked.
Links seem to be Chinese based ?
Whoever it was seems to have over writen all the saved copies for the
3 , 7 and 30 day changes.

If someone can give a few instructions I have the space for a couple of 
mirrors
(different servers)

I just fixed that one.  It'll take a while to go through them all though so 
any help would be appreciated.  This is the first time he's hit in some 
time (close to two months I think).  At one point he was doing this every day.

Interestingly Karl, your LPC2100 Tips PWM note showed up in a comment but 
the page doesn't appear to be any different than the previous.

Nope, they are still there, follow the view other revisions link at the 
bottom of the page to see the saved revisions for each page.  There is 
always at least one, unless the page is new.

Can't get the directory saved to a tar or tgz everyday then if it gets 
spammed just
delete the current contents and untar ?

Save the hassle of having to manually check and fix it all.

What would be the easiest way to mirror the wiki ?
Have the mirrored one/s non-modifiable and just update from the proper 
one every few days or once a week.

I have no idea.  I don't manage the wiki, just doing a little bit to 
discourage the vandals.  It's a sort of many hands make light work 
thing.  I think all that's left to do now is erase the garbage pages the 
vandal put up.

>Save the hassle of having to manually check and fix it all.

The downside I see to that is you also wipe out any changes made since then 
by other than vandals.  I do know that some wikis have management tools to 
help with this sort of problem including ban lists.  I don't know if this 
one does.  There was a major improvement when it was converted to allowing 
editing by registered users only.
