Curiously, I was _only_ able to get the wikimedia blacklist to work. 
I'll revisit it at a later point.  Unfortunately this won't solve the
present problem, since it seems to be engineered to only deface and
not actually change pageranking or the like.

And of course something as important as a spam filter isn't natively
supported by the wiki.. and of course it wouldn't actually work as
advertised either.. I can only use  one single blacklist.  =/

Well.. I'll revisit things later.. and hopefully I can get chongqed's
list to work, and also use the database page to work.  Bleh.
