Spammer Ahoy!
Hello. I would like to report a spammer on the Pokemon Wiki. Two IP addresses have been vandalizing the Wiki and posting things like this and this there. The addresses are 82.4.223.106‎ and 75.69.100.253‎. Please block them before they cause any more trouble. Werty yertrew 02:38, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

Just to let you know:. I can't blank or put the delete template because there's a spam filter preventing users from editing this page --Ciencia Al Poder (talk) -WikiDex 19:16, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
 * taken care of. its actually not from the spam list, its from the bad pagename list at MediaWiki:Blacklist title list, theres an entry to stop pages from being created (and updated) that end in a /. there are many many spam bots that try to create these types of pages, so it was necessary to block them. --Uberfuzzy 19:25, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Embedded link spam on Vim Tips wiki
Recently 121.97.74.130 made this edit:

http://vim.wikia.com/index.php?title=A_better_interfacing_of_%28La%29TeX_with_the_quickfix_mode&diff=23155&oldid=19775

It looks innocent enough, except that the page on our wiki is about LaTeX, a "document markup language and document preparation system for the TeX typesetting" [1], not about latex, the material used in medical gloves and condoms.

I have rolled back the edit, but I'm reporting it in case this IP hits other wikis as well.

Multiple spam pages created by IP
213.50.114.154 recently created several spam pages in a very short timespan on the Vim Tips Wiki.

I have deleted the pages and blocked the IP on our wiki.

Can't the Blacklist be Per/Wiki?
I'm new to wikia, I'd like to move my wiki over here. But I hate the blacklist, several important links in my work are blocked. They are not porn, there is nothing wrong with them.

Isn't there any way to give each admin control of their own blacklist, instead of having a global blacklist?

Or is there any way I can get around the blacklist? Specifically I need netfirms and livevideo to work.

Thanks.

 * You can whitelist urls locally per wiki, see Help:Spam blacklist :) -- 03:47, January 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks, I searched around and could not find instructions on how to whitelist. Link?? Alexander Baker 03:53, January 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * You just need to create MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist on the wiki and then add urls to it in this fashion:

domain\.com subdomain\.domain\.com

 * Thanks for syntax help. Will contact Angela. Alexander Baker 04:12, January 10, 2010 (UTC)

problem
OK, this is making me nuts. I'm getting a blacklist for the letter "f". Whitelisting "f", "\f", "\f.com", nothing works. Good grief. Alexander Baker 04:42, January 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * That was a problem with the title blacklist, it should be fixed now. -- 04:43, January 10, 2010 (UTC)

Blacklist problem

 * Was able to edit this article, perhaps a glitch from the switchover? --Charitest 19:11, June 16, 2010 (UTC)

It's also blocking linking to the domain wow.com on WoWWiki (though I've whitelisted it for now - but it would be good not to have to whitelist it). -- 19:03, June 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * Can't reproduce. Perhaps another glitch. --Charitest 19:11, June 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * So will the glitch disappear where I can remove the whitelist entry? -- 19:14, June 16, 2010 (UTC)

Hey there, The page c:aachen:Busverkehr Aachen contained a Link to http://www.avv.de/ressorts/uebersichtsplaene/!ortsnetzplaene/ (without the !) (a page containing a list of bus network maps in the cities in the Aachen region), but this link was blocked by the spam filter. The direct links to the pdfs of the maps are also blocked... As the page deals with the bus network of Aachen this link would be very useful, so IMHO this page should be unblocked... (Actually, the spam filter can be overriden by linking to www.avv.de:80 instead of www.avv.de, maybe this should be thought of in a future version of the spam filter) Lanchid 00:26, June 18, 2010 (UTC)
