That's really strange. I don't see how those bots are still editing the wiki o_O. Sure, it must be a backdoor there. But where?

To stop more spam you can simply turn the wiki "readonly", setting Manual:$wgReadOnly.

To see how people still can edit the wiki, you can turn on debugging, enabling a debug log. See Manual:How_to_debug. This can give you/us hints about what page/parameters/process are using to edit the wiki.

Be careful, since it will log even pageviews, so turn it on in a short period of time until you catch someone creating a page.
