Please can someone with admin privileges ban users "Moskit" and "Plintus" from the german wiki?
It's because of Wiki Spamming. 
Thx in advance

Done, and also promoted you to sysop because of your constant efforts for taking care of the German Wiki. You can now block spammers, revert and even delete/undelete spam. You can also edit site messages (MediaWiki namespace) and protect pages for edition only by you if there is constant spamming attempts.
EDIT: Another thing: I know that spam bots try to register themselves into the wiki because people who control them know that wikis cannot delete users except by database (which is more difficult as removing every entry for the user in the db is needed to prevent dead links or other problems). So they can create abusive user names without any problems. I just hope someone releases one extension for user deletion soon...

Thanks very much deguix. That will make my work easier and I won't have to bother you all the time for deleting some spam. 
Cheers
