Report:Spam filter problems

Use this page to report possible false positives for the spam filter. __NOWYSIWYG__

URL
I was trying to make my character page, but everytime i hit publish i get the message:

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

( Call #1 )

The following link, text or pagename is what triggered our spam filter: [url=

I dont know what the problem is, but I have the code saved for my info box. Can someone help? Also, I just looked at my home page, and see that it too was blocked? Did I do something wrong??? Otahu 01:51, April 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * Don't use html code, it doesn't work. You need to use [] for external links or for internal links.  02:16, April 9, 2012 (UTC)


 * I used the code that it gave me, just filled out the boxes. Otahu 05:16, April 9, 2012 (UTC)


 * [url= is forum syntax, not wiki syntax. What page gave you that code? --  Random Time  09:22, April 9, 2012 (UTC)

Templates?
It seems that if one searches for a template (format for perhaps a list of examples) from the search bar, it will redirect to *.wikis.com/wiki/Template/index.php where (on the MSPAWiki at least) neither that page nor it's parent template has been created, and the 'index.php' one cannot be edited because of the name. There are probably very good reasons for people not to mess with that, but it should have it's own error message, because it is just silly for Wikia to count something in it's own structure as spam.

 * I'm not entirely sure what you mean, when I search for a template, it works like any other page. It shouldn't give you index.php --  Random Time  13:28, April 14, 2012 (UTC)]
 * Also, a page on a wiki named "Index.php" is not the same as MediaWiki's index.php itself. The global filter is not counting a core part of Wikia/MediaWiki as spam. 13:36, April 14, 2012 (UTC)

Return to Super Mario Bros.

Everyone uses this code, so I don't see why I can't use it. Am I using the wrong form of the references code? (Had to change the code specifically for this so it wouldn't turn into an actual reference section. I typed the code correctly on my page.

 * This is actually a bug in the editor. Change the tag to show rather than  and it will allow you to save the page. Rappy 22:08, April 15, 2012 (UTC)

 * It's for a test. If it's designed to stop spam I'm fine with not being able to do it, I was just wondering if it was a glitch or not. Cheers anyway :) -- Cåm 23:39, April 18, 2012 (UTC)

Created an entire page for the National Communist Party of Straka, and due to a percieved spam threat, one hour worth of work was deleted.

The 'spam' URL in question is http://microwiki.org.uk/index.php?title=Lurk_Federation

Please restore the page 'National Communist Party of Straka' if possible.

URL handler for Skype/Xfire not available
was trying to post Skype>>> url wich is Skype:username...... then I tried the Url=".....

unfortunalty no defined Skype or Xfire URL templates to use, granted this exposes me to Chat spam, but unlikely.

I'm trying to make a plant list, with a page dedicated to each plant, as is done on farmville's tree list (you click a tree and it takes you to its page). But how do I do that? Whatever I'm doing must be wrong since I know it works on other pages, but isn't working here. What do I need to do in order to create a proper bestiary?

 * On Wikia, you cannot end a page title with a '/'. That's the problem.  I have created the page for you, and you should be able to edit it with what you need. -- sulfur 13:43, April 25, 2012 (UTC)

Having Troubles importing page
I'm having troubles importing Nitrous Oxide from Wikipedia onto my Chemistry Wiki because the words "without", "a", and "prescription" are in this order, and such is apparently "spam." This is giving me the inability to import such page. Can you please fix the spam filter? --Thenewguy34 10:03, April 26, 2012 (UTC)

BBCode
While using this code to create a signature it will give you the URL spam dection, I think tihs is wrong because it is a goal signature which should be allowed to bypass the url.
