Linkz
http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Linkz (I have deleted)

Junk page with a title we've seen before (Linkz), posted by 62.101.95.202 --JohnBeckett 11:19, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
 * that   is a  malfunctioning spam bot. i've readjusted some of the spam filters, it should finally block that once and for all. as for the repeat page. did you know you can protect pages that dont exist? just the same way you protect an existing page from being edited, protecting a non-existant page restricts creation. --Uberfuzzy 17:25, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I was in a hurry, and as I clicked various buttons to protect the page, I vaguely recalled that I'd seen that I should find a "create" to protect, and I see you've done that now. --JohnBeckett 01:39, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

 * got those --Uberfuzzy 02:28, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

Several IPs, >	User:150.146.129.53, User:67.163.49.218, User:69.136.84.9, User:87.106.44.12, and User:200.24.0.176 have created pages titled "Alan" over several wikis, always with the content "Nice writing. You are on my RSS reader now so I can read more from you down the road." I reported it to Charitwo on IRC, who added them on WikiaRC's Blacklist, but he asked me to report the links here. The Links are here, here, here, here, here, and here. Thanks :)-- Eu ( Talk! Contribs ) 02:12, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
 * got those, and those ips. --Uberfuzzy 02:36, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

Caracas
Is the following spam? Someone created the following user page, and has made no other contribution:
 * http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/User:Odalcet

The contents of the page is "Caracas, Venezuela Agosto 2008". I'm happy to wait and see, but someone might check whether similar stuff is happening in other wikis. --JohnBeckett 23:53, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
 * thats your call. i would wait about a week, if the user doesnt make any more edits, assume its spam. i did a check, no other things under that name. i'll keep an eye out for that text on the vandal feeds. thanks for the heads up. --Uberfuzzy 23:59, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

These need to be un-blocked:
They're commented above - there is not a thing wrong with these sites, and it's getting annoying that they're blocked. Not even Mr. Lister's Koromon  survived intact.  12:37, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I believe you can edit MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist on your local wiki to unblock them. I'm not 100% sure though. -- Skiz zerz  01:27, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, that is the page, 1 url per line. the 110, netfirms, and cjb are not going to be unblocked, while they may have valid good content on those specific urls, they are also a large source of linkfarms/spam/shocksite/malware vandalism. as for the others, i'm sure someone had a good reason to put them on the list, so they are staying. It takes quite a bit of spam to get something that wide of a target added here, and its rare that things get removed. --Uberfuzzy 07:06, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

item4u
Seeing some spam from item4u .com on the EQ2 wiki. Spammer creates a user by name of Alan2100 and then puts spam in the user talk page. Second time it's done this (first was 2 Nov). --Lordebon 01:14, 5 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the report, I've already requested that this be added. It's happening at FFXIclopedia as well. -- 01:16, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
 * done and regexed. --Uberfuzzy 01:18, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
