Wikitravel Shared talk:Local spam blacklist
From Wikitravel Shared
On shared:, please don't add anything but domain names here (no prohibited HTML, no prohibited WikiText). I've had a problem managing bug reports with HTML or Wiki markup in them because of the spam filter. --Evan 11:15, 24 October 2006 (EDT)
[edit] Is this working?
I added one site to this list yesterday[1], but the same url was posted today. (Probably, sysop only → Special:Undelete/Tech_talk:To_do_lists)
Is this working? Should I use top and second level domain (blogspot.com) for the list? -- Tatata 01:22, 15 August 2007 (EDT)
- MediaWiki:Spamblacklist was gone, maybe it was deleted when MediaWiki was upgraded. I've restored it just now. -- Tatata 11:22, 16 August 2007 (EDT)
MediaWiki:Spamblacklist was discarded again. :-( I've restored it just now. -- Tatata 09:56, 6 May 2008 (EDT)
[edit] Protected
I have protected the page from anonymous edits on an infinite basis. I do this to avoid anonymous users, i e IP adresses, from adding spam links, thus corrupting the spam filter. Anyone against this? If so, feel free to lift the protection. However, the number of serious edits from anonymous users are probably very low on this page, which makes me think that we won't miss out on any major number of serious contributions.

- I agree with Riggwelter. -- Tatata 10:08, 6 May 2008 (EDT)
[edit] Daily spam
Shared is actually getting hit with more daily spambot edits than the English language version. That strikes me as odd—anyone understand why this would be? --Peter Talk 18:47, 11 December 2008 (EST)
- Though I'm not sure this would be a help, I've added three domains to the blacklist[2] those are found in today's spam. -- Tatata 21:58, 11 December 2008 (EST)
[edit] S One Dot shard Dot jp
Made it to the "Wall of Shame". Also known (by me) on en:, eo: and nl: --Rein N. 13:46, 27 May 2009 (EDT)
- Yeah, I added this One into eo:'s black list. And then, the spambot let me know that black list doesn't work on eo: now, because of missing a MediaWiki page. ;-) -- Tatata 23:55, 27 May 2009 (EDT)
