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)

Main_Page/
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
