Apparently, I have been notified of changes to wiki pages constantly by some unknown / unregistered usernames who don't seem to change anything on the page (according to the page history). Does this indicate that there are hidden bots attacking the wiki or is it simply something else that I am unaware of? Any wikipedian (on this list) aware of what it could be? What could be done to solve it?
That kind of activity is usually spamming of the wiki with links. On the 28th of March, I blocked three userids for such activity. This happens quite frequently.
