Help talk:Spam

Why fight spam?
I've just added an explanation on why spam is bad for wikis (diff here) - am I on the right lines? It sounds true but I'm just guessing really. totnesmartin 00:11, 7 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Well, it's more content based: spam is unlikely to be related to relevant to that wiki - essentially vandalism. Kirkburn (talk) 13:57, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Inconsistent redirects depending on how the page is viewed
This page is available from both http://www.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Spam and http://help.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Spam. When I click the link for the blacklist in item 14 in the first section and in the "see also" section from http://www.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Spam I am redirected back to the same page. When I click from http://help.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Spam I am sent to a different page. Argadi 08:57, November 28, 2009 (UTC)

What is the date?
The comment above has a date of 28 November 2009. But after I made the changes the following text was at the bottom of the displayed page:

"Argadi made an edit on 7 January 2009"

Some software/server is quite confused. Argadi 09:00, November 28, 2009 (UTC)


 * To make the problem easier to solve, the problem went away as I created this section. The edit date was then 28 November 2009. (The quote above was a copy-and-paste.) Argadi 09:01, November 28, 2009 (UTC)
