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.

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. Thanks. Arlo James Barnes 12:58, April 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * 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.

The "cum" probably came from the incantation Maloso vibiscum et cum spiritum, which triggers opening the Nightosphere. It had no malicious undertones whatsoever (and I wasn't even editing that part. It was already there when I saw it.) The link's right here: http://adventuretime.wikia.com/wiki/Nightosphere_(location). Please do remove the block. It wasn't meant to sound dirty at all.

The "cum" I used is the Latin word "cum", meaning "with" or "when", but it blocked it for obvious reasons. Any way to get around this? Or can this be unblocked? I'll probably use the word on other pages of my wiki, too. Medmura118 05:55, May 3, 2012 (UTC)
