Adding walkthrough for Crysis 2
I'm adding multiple walkthroughs for Crysis 2, but suddenly I was blocked by this SPAM Filter.

If this can't be resolved, I'm no longer able to share vital information to the gaming community.

 * Could you please copy the message you got from the filter, otherwise there's no way we can find out what's causing the block  Random Time  22:31, May 19, 2011 (UTC)

Simpson Wiki en Español
Esta página no debería estar bloqueada, es una wikia ubicada en Shoutwiki de mucha ayuda para Simpson Wiki en Español→Simpson Wiki en Inglés Att→Sebastián Lozano
 * Lo que pueden hacer es crear MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist y colocar la dirección de shoutwiki para que los filtros globales no vuelvan a afectar los interwikis (Si necesitan ayuda para crear esa página, me lo pueden decir). 04:08, May 22, 2011 (UTC)

Endless Ocean wiki
Hello, I tried to edit the "White Mother" page on the Endless Ocean wiki and got this:

The page you wanted to save was blocked by the spam filter. This is probably caused by a blacklisted link or pagename.

The following link, text or pagename is what triggered our spam filter: �

I do not mean any spam, and I don't think the videos I tried to put on are spammed because the owner of them is not.

Could you help me please?

Knitting Stitches
Hi, I'm legitimately trying to create a page for a type of knitting lace that's called "Faggot" or "Faggoting." I realize these words have offensive meanings, but they are perfectly normal knitting patterns. Tedberlin 02:54, May 24, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, Charitwo! Would you be willing to do some more? I need pages for:

Those are all I have for the time being... Many thanks, Tedberlin 11:52, May 24, 2011 (UTC)

Creating page "moustache" on Memory Beta

 * The page you wanted to save was blocked by the spam filter.
 * This is probably caused by a blacklisted link or pagename.
 * The following link, text or pagename is what triggered our spam filter: Moustache
 * If you think this is wrong, please contact us here. Please, provide a copy of this message when reporting any problem.
 * Return to Moustache.

This is a valid link, the desired text will be "#redirecthair", the purpose is to direct traffic to an actual page about moustaches with a photo gallery.

I understand this is a possibly amusing term for a vandal to create as a spoof article, so i'd agree with blocking anons and new users from creating it. but as an admin-bureaucrat i feel like this should be in my toolbox. -- Captain MKB 03:25, May 24, 2011 (UTC)

Links to Russian Wikipedia on ru.avatar.wikia.com
For example, when I try to edit page http://ru.avatar.wikia.com/Рог_Цунги I get the following message from spam-filter:

Страница, которую вы пытаетесь сохранить, заблокирована спам-фильтром. Вероятно, это произошло из-за того, что она содержит ссылку на занесённый в чёрный список внешний сайт.

Следующая ссылка, текст или название страницы вызвали срабатывание нашего спам-фильтра: [[Wikipedia:ru:

But we need links to wikipedia for some things, that maybe unfamiliar to most readers, but are not closely related to Avatar universe!

This applies not only to this page, but also for other pages with links to russian wikipedia.

"lkthr" in summary flagged as spam

The text was found in the page's summary.

Summary text was "Wallkthrough"

Cheers

 * There are two "l", I guess it should be "Walkthrough". Try to change it, because the filter won't be deleted (is preventing massive spambot edits). 20:26, May 27, 2011 (UTC)

Kinda annoying when an administrator on a wiki can't add appropriate reference links to something -_- -- Nystus 13:42, May 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * Should be whitelisted on your wiki now  Random Time  13:59, May 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * S'pose I'll have to wait a day for that to take effect... On a side note, is there a "black" variation of that MediaWiki page? Would be handy -- Nystus 14:09, May 28, 2011 (UTC)
