Clash of Clans Wiki

 * Wiki: http://ru.clashofclans.wikia.com/.wikia.com
 * Block ID: http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Special:PhalanxStats/8042
 * What did you try to do?: Trying to create a sub-page template using the name "/" (Стратегии Нападения/), but this operation blocks the spam filter.

 * The sub-page needs to end in / and then something - it can't be empty. Try Стратегии Нападения/1, or something similar --  Ransom Time  09:26, January 16, 2015 (UTC)

Transformice Wiki

 * Wiki: http://transformice.wikia.com
 * Block ID: http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Special:PhalanxStats/83734
 * What did you try to do?: Viliusr and I both tried submitting this content onto w:c:transformice:Forum_updates/Latest, and both got the error. I even tried removing the external link but it still complained.

 * Remove the "[URL=" in the content that you desire to add.

Freddy Fazbears Pizza

 * Wiki: http://freddy-fazbears-pizza.wikia.com
 * Block ID: http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Special:PhalanxStats/ [URL= (Block #83734)
 * What did you try to do?: Post a dragon from 'Dragon Cave'
 * Signature: You know what? Butts. (talk) 15:02, January 24, 2015 (UTC)
 * Remove [URL= from the page you are editing. Also, the block ID was just for the number, not the text ;). We can see the text by using that number. — Jr Mime (talk) 15:08, January 24, 2015 (UTC)

Nuclear Test Site

 * Wiki: http://du-fallout.wikia.com
 * Block ID: http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Special:PhalanxStats/19959
 * What did you try to do?: add an array of filenames to a Javascript file. i.e: ["plasticsurgery01.dds",1398256,"Textures-terminals-"]

You guys are *seriously* trying to stop spam, by doing blind keyword searches, on Javascript files? lol

 * Hello! Change name/value for "plasticsurgery".
 * What is the purpose of doing blind keyword filters on any page in the MediaWiki namespace, let alone javascript files? It might do a good job at cutting back on vandalism for normal pages; but in the rare case that someone who had access to that namespace was hell-bent on spamming, your word filter would do absolutely nothing to prevent it. Instead, I have to use similar methods, just to create legitimate content. [[file:Dulogo.png|25px]]Digital Utopia (talk) 10:46, January 26, 2015 (UTC)

Trollpasta Wiki

 * Wiki: http://trollpasta.wikia.com/wiki/.wikia.com
 * Block ID: http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Special:PhalanxStats/130572
 * What did you try to do?: I usually add my stories to a list in my userpage but now the fucking spam filter says it is spam to add the stories. Bullshit
 * Signature: UksiHattu12 (talk) 15:30, January 26, 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi, please don't use URL shorteners (especially ones like ShadyURL) - they are very often used by spambots so we block them, and can be used for other malicious purposes. 15:42, January 26, 2015 (UTC)

It worked, sadly my troll does'nt work anymore :/ --UksiHattu12 (talk) 15:54, January 26, 2015 (UTC)

spookys house of jump scares wiki

 * Block ID: http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Special:PhalanxStats/18461
 * What did you try to do?: tried using wrong coding format :/ blocked for spam? please revoke
 * Signature: Shruk (talk) 04:58, February 3, 2015 (UTC)
 * You're not blocked. Please, do not use  tags in articles. It's not working. http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/6/6f/FANMADE_Luna_S1_flying.gif Kopcap94 16:08,2/3/2015

Vexillology Wiki

 * Wiki: http://vexillology.wikia.com
 * Block ID: http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Special:PhalanxStats/18461
 * What did you try to do?: Adding internal links to system messages. For some reason wiki markup does not work in most system messages (square brackets and apostrophes display literally ). The HTML equivalents do work, but annoyingly links using &lt;a&gt; get blocked by the spam filter in some cases (not always). Strangely, the filter was not triggered when I first added a link here, but was when I tried to remove the &lt;p&gt; tags without touching the link itself.
 * Signature: Hans (talk) 11:24, February 5, 2015 (UTC)
 * Hello!  tags not working in articles and, also, always used in spam. I've fixed you MW message just to remove  and show you how add links. Good luck! http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/6/6f/FANMADE_Luna_S1_flying.gif Kopcap94 11:53,2/5/2015
 * Of course I know how to create internal links using square brackets and pipes. The problem is that they do not work in most system messages. See this search page, which uses the system message you "fixed". Hans (talk) 12:09, February 5, 2015 (UTC)
 * Hm, well, we will try to fix this problem. http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/6/6f/FANMADE_Luna_S1_flying.gif Kopcap94 12:26,2/5/2015
 * I reverted your "fix", so anyone who clicks the search link now will see how &lt;a&gt; does work.
 * Wikitext not working in system messages appears to be a MediaWiki feature/bug; it was noticed here. Depending on whether links using &lt;a&gt; should be considered a good thing or a hack, I think the solution is to (1) disable the spam filter in MediaWiki: namespace (spamming admins will be extremely rare anyway), or (2) change MediaWiki to allow wikitext in system messages. Hans (talk) 12:42, February 5, 2015 (UTC)
 * Option 1 is not possible. Option 2 is not likely. MediaWiki has the ability to allow wikitext or html in their messages depending on how the developer of the feature chose to display the text. However since they have already been released one way, it is usually bad form to change it to a different form as different wikis may have customized the message and it would result in errors and confusion. 13:33, February 5, 2015 (UTC)
 * So, how do I add a working link without being halted by the filter, if you think nothing is going to change?
 * Regarding option 2, there shouldn't be any problems if both link forms are transitionally allowed. I'll ask about that on the MediaWiki wiki though. Hans (talk) 21:46, February 5, 2015 (UTC)
 * 1. You can ask here and we'll be happy to update it for you if you provide the code you want placed on the message. 2. I'm 95% certain it doesn't work that way. Messages are parsed as Html or wikitext. 00:06, February 6, 2015 (UTC)

 * Wy are MediaWiki:Shared-... pages is like a spam? ~ Песчаная Звезда ~ (talk) 03:41, February 7, 2015 (UTC)
 * We need the block ID in order to fix this issue. Also, you can't change MediaWiki pages on the Global navigation, per the Terms of Use. — Jr Mime (talk) 03:47, February 7, 2015 (UTC)
 * I... i forgot the ID... Yes, I know, I mustn’t change the GN on my wiki. But it is only Shared-... is a problem. I could redact the text on the Create Wiki button with MediaWiki, for example. It hasn't got any Shared-... in the name of the page. ~ Песчаная Звезда ~ (talk) 04:14, February 7, 2015 (UTC)
 * That page you are trying to edit is protected as it isn't how it works. That page is updated by Wikia Staff to go with what's going on. This means you can't edit the page. — Jr Mime (talk) 04:05, February 7, 2015 (UTC)
 * I understand, and the other Shared-... pages is something like that. Sorry, I understand. Thank you. ~ Песчаная Звезда ~ (talk) 04:14, February 7, 2015 (UTC)
