On Nov. 10 there were 21 changes: 2 real edits, 7 new spam users, and 12 page-deletions/user-blocks (cleaning up after the spam). On Nov. 11 there were 37 changes: 2 real edits, 15 new spam users and 20 page-deletions/user-blocks.
That’s a significant drain on Gwern and Vladimir’s time that could (and should) not be wasted. (They are the only two who are moderating it at the moment, as far as I can tell.)
The second question isn’t relevant; we are talking about how the wiki has a large amount of spam (and how to stop it), not how LW presents the recent edits.
