Spam posted on the Vim Tips wiki by 193.138.147.67 - please delete. --JohnBeckett 07:21, 9 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for reporting it. I see you're an admin on the wiki, so feel free to delete it yourself. -- Manticore  Talk 10:39, 9 November 2007 (UTC)


 * What is the best thing for me to do? I report a couple of spams per week, and I would be quite happy to delete them from the Vim Tips wiki myself if that is what should be done. I vaguely thought that reporting it here was best so someone wiser than I could work out whether other stuff should be done (look for it on other wikis; blacklist phrases...).
 * Should I delete? Should I report? Thanks --JohnBeckett 03:44, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

You should do both. Reporting the IP allows us to check for it on other wikis, reporting the wiki allows janitors and staff to view the deleted page. If there's a specific URL used, report it here so central sysops can blacklist it. If you've done all that, delete it. -- Manticore  Talk 04:01, 10 November 2007 (UTC)


 * OK - thanks. Now who wants to post some spam for me to work on... --JohnBeckett 08:49, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Just noticed these being deleted, so you'll have to undelete to get any specifics, but you can get at least one URL from this log entry:

Spam was posted on the Vim Tips wiki from IP 61.28.1.91 - I have deleted it. You may want to blacklist URL used in content: BestDrugShop.com

Please tell me if I should handle stuff like this differently. --JohnBeckett 02:32, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

False Positive on Foxnewsporn.com
The detail is here: http://www.wikiality.com/Wikiality_talk:Admin_Board#Spam_protection_filter Just to verify, I tried linking http://foxnewsporn.com here to see if it gets blocked here too, and it does.--Pro-Lick 22:21, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Also note that digg accidentally banned it: Digg:_foxnewsporn.com_Unbanned--Pro-Lick 22:28, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Generally any url with the word porn in it is not needed to have a link to it on Wikia. And in fact, the addition of the generalized words has appeared to actually remove 85% of the linkspam we get, so it would be best to keep that. If you really need a link to something on a wiki, you can always whitelist it. Right on Spam Blacklist it tells you you can whitelist things using MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist on the local wiki. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) (tricks) (current topic) Nov 19, 2007 @ 00:27 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the advice on the whitelist and I'll give that a try now. If it's not possible to fine tune the filter, it would be nice to see this on a global whitelist.  It goes beyond a single interest group.  News, politics, documentary films, cable TV, media celebrities, and, of course, Wikiality.  Anybody know if newsporn has been part of any of the linkspam?--Pro-Lick 02:21, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
