LilWolf's suggestion of Bad Behavior looks interesting. It's supposed to block the 
bots *before* they get a chance to make edits, as opposed to filtering the edits.

http://www.bad-behavior.ioerror.us/

This program is listed on the MediaWiki anti-spam features page.

It looks easy enough to install. You supposedly just set a few variables in the 
config file, upload the Bad-Behavior folder to the MediaWiki extensions 
directory, and add an include statement to the LocalSettings.php file.
