It looks like after the Yale machine was repaved, and the mediawiki
instance restored, some plugins (and templates) went missing, including
those that previously prevented such spam accounts.

A new machine has been purchased this week that will become the primary
home for haskell.org, and work is just started to migrate everything to
the new machine -- at which point we'll have a *current* MediaWiki for
the first time in a long time, new templates etc.
