E.g.

* What is Haskell's middle name? * What is SPJ's middle name?

Yeah, I thought about something similar like: what's the result of 'map (+1) [1,2]'.

The main drawback to this is that it'll only be a matter of time before spammers wise up. But that interval might be long enough for something better on the horizon, e.g. akismet gets a lot smarter, better blog posts on tracspam, etc.

I don't think that the ghc wiki is of particular interest for spammers or that they gain a lot by understanding Haskell specifics. Most likely they will never notice it.
