If a spider is designed to deface a wiki, it's very unlikely to honour 
robots.txt.  It is just a polite request, AFAIK apart from blacklists on 
the webserver, you can't enforce it.  Wikipedia doesn't allow anonymous 
edits either (I think)

Anyway not trying to convince you, just letting you know that this stuff 
is there if you do want it :)

Cheers,

John
