no, kwiki's missing an intuitive UI in this area. IIRC you delete a
page by deleting all content and hitting "save."

there are anti-spam plugins for kwiki, but no more perfect than any

logins are the surest way, but they are antithetical to wikiness.
IMHO the spam problem would have to be pretty bad to require logins.
