https://tools.wmflabs.org/?tool=comprende says @Magnus owns the tool.

Also @ashley said that spambots are spamming links to this wiki on other independent wikis, so it would be good to get this cleaned up or disabled quickly :/

Spam deleted, database locked. The "actual" tool at https://tools.wmflabs.org/comprende/ still works in read-only mode.

@Magnus I still see spam at the wiki, just by clicking on random page.

Last page had a "\" in the title, maintenance script didn't remove it. Killed on DB prompt now.
