Odd filtering
Hello, I reported my issues yesterday, but I am unsure exactly how the staff handled it, as it seems my wiki is rejecting things it should not. If possible, I would like to go into detail of what words I would liked block as to not interfere with my editing. -- Bunai82 (talk) EDIT: I think I figured it out, Uberfuzzy removed the optional attributes. It might be possible the title of the page is what triggered the TitleBlacklist Filter due to the attributes being gone... maybe. -- Bunai82 (talk) 18:02, September 8, 2010 (UTC)

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: lumiere noire

If you think this is wrong, please contact us here. Please, provide a copy of this message when reporting any problem.

Return to Item:Lumiere Noire.
 * No results found for that problem. 17:26, September 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * Because I restored the Blacklist to how it original was copied, with the attributes attached. Apparently when Uberfuzzy removed them, it caused a reaction with the titles due to various individual letters present. -- Bunai82 (talk) 14:09, September 19, 2010 (UTC)

Incorrect Spam Filtering
Hello, I was editing SASUKEpedia and I wanted to reference the Power of SASUKE article on webjam when I got this 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: webjam. com (I had to separate the dot from the others cause the spam filter was going off again.)

If you think this is wrong, please contact us here. Please, provide a copy of this message when reporting any problem.

WTF?
I was copying & pasting a page from Wikipedia, for crying out loud! If anything is safe from SPAM, it should surely be that! Please shut off the filter, or at least examine (check it) to see why it is doing this for this page. Thank you! (BTW, I was trying to copy Wikipedia's article "Swedish General Election, 2010". I was trying to post it to "Omnipedia". Thanks) Shanoman 02:34, September 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * Then perhaps it would behoove you to remove the banned characters causing the trigger to filter. They will not be removed. --Charitwo (talk) 02:36, September 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * I think you need to calm down. When you attempt to edit, it shows you what triggered the filter. Remove what is being blocked and then save. --Charitwo (talk) 03:55, September 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * No it doesn't, it just shows a tiny black bar that does nothing when I click on it.


 * Right, that is what is being blocked. Remove the black box(es) from the article and then save. --Charitwo (talk) 03:59, September 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * How do I remove them?


 * Ok, let me make this easy for you


 * Hilight the black box
 * Hit CTRL - C to Copy the black box
 * Goto your article before saving and search in your browser (using CTRL-F) and then paste the black box into the search field
 * Delete the black box or replace it with something else
 * Profit!
 * Profit!

 * I've tried to update my title on top of the front page. But I got a spam filter problem related to an article that nothing to do with this title? Sigismond 16:48, October 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Please, paste the error message. 01:51, October 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I've just tried but it is impossible since as soon as I copy-paste it and want to save, the wiki brings me back to the spam filrer problems page!!!
 * So take a screenshot of that page and upload it here. 22:37, October 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Pardon me; I do not know how to make a screenshot. Sigismond 14:39, October 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Anyway, the problem is over; I could edit my page. Thank you.

Wrong filter
I'm creating an article on BBCode, and when I used an example of BBCode containing the BBCode url code, I got this 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 =

If you think this is wrong, please contact us here. Please, provide a copy of this message when reporting any problem.

Return to BBCode.

It's not a spam page. Please help, thanks. User:SSgtGriffin 00:09, October 5, 2010 (UTC)

It's just that I can't put [url together with the = sign. It becomes an error once they are together.
 * You can provide a screenshot to handle the problem. 20:30, October 5, 2010 (UTC)

Spam filter: Baton Rouge, LA
The site in question 225batonrouge.com is a locally publication that has printed articles about the ride.

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: www.225batonr If you think this is wrong, please contact us here. Please, provide a copy of this message when reporting any problem. Return to Baton Rouge, LA.
 * What kind of edit are you trying to save? That url is not being blocked by any filter. 14:48, October 8, 2010 (UTC)

This was impossible to explain so I have to urlencode this message, use http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/dencoder/ to decode it.

The symbol is a block with the top half black, the reverse of that (block with the bottom half black) may also trigger the spam filter.

I'm running a bot to clean up file links and that user may have signed elsewhere so if this is fixed soon I would be very appreciative. Evil1888 Talk 01:59, October 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * It has been fixed, you can go ahead. 05:21, October 13, 2010 (UTC)

Shopping page blacklisted
I am creating a travel wiki for Saigon and want to have a page dedicated to shopping, called "Shopping" (what else?!). Surely, this is a legitimate use of the wiki, and yet I am getting blocked. The following error was received:


 * 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: SHOPPING


 * If you think this is wrong, please contact us here. Please, provide a copy of this message when reporting any problem.


 * - Can you at least explain why that page is being blacklisted? Any answer at all?  Hello? --Tonicboy 15:20, October 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Unblocked. 17:21, October 17, 2010 (UTC)

Couldn't edit Sandbox Page
When I tried to fix a minor detail on my own page, it was labeled as Spam because of the term "Perfect.Design" when the full statement is Perfect.Designator.

--Comet Knight 19:49, October 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Unblocked. 04:31, October 15, 2010 (UTC)

Hello
Hi! I'm the admin of w:c:es.es-glee and I creating the article for "Hello" (name of a song by Lionel Richie) but I couldn't because of the spam filter. Is there any chance that you could get the page "Hello" out of the spam filter in my wikia? I would really appreciate it! -- BrunoarGleek  Mi Discusión  02:35, October 16, 2010 (UTC)

______________________

¡Hola! Soy el administrador de w:c:es.es-glee y estaba creando el artículo "Hello" (nombre de una canción de Lionel Richie), pero no pude hacerlo debido al filtro de spam. ¿Existe alguna posibilidad de que se pueda quitar el artículo "Hello" del filtro de spam en mi wikia? ¡Realmente se los agradecería mucho! -- BrunoarGleek  Mi Discusión  02:35, October 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * ¿Podrías decirme exactamente cuál es el mensaje que te indica el filtro? 19:20, October 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Mmm ok, el filtro "Hello" no puede ser desbloqueado porque se han cometido varios golpes de spambots que crean descontroladamente estas páginas. Quizás sería mejor crear tu artículo similar a "Hello (canción)" para no ser bloqueado. 19:23, October 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok, muchas gracias por tu tiempo! n_n -- BrunoarGleek  Mi Discusión  04:03, October 17, 2010 (UTC)

Anime News Network
It currently blocks links to news stories in what is considered a reliable news source on Wikipedia. Wondering why it'd be blocked here. They have no illegal content. The message I received was:

''Spam protection filter[edit this page] From MangaWiki

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: animenewsnetwork (removed link since I get a spam filter message even here when I try to post it)

If you think this is wrong, please contact us here. Please, provide a copy of this message when reporting any problem.

Return to Shaman King.''

It says to contact you here, I clicking the link, so here it is. Will someone look at that site and confirm it isn't spam, scam, or law violation? It is odd the exact link that caused the problem can't be posted here without getting the spam filter message.  D r e a m Focus  16:09, October 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * We need the link to check it out. You can send me the full message to my email. 19:27, October 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Unblocked. 06:51, October 17, 2010 (UTC)

Link Issue
The following link:

http://i99ronhe.island.liu.se/ fanfic/spamfic/hentai.txt

has thrown up a spam block. This is a link to a work of fan fiction. I assume that the title is causing the problem. Can this link be unblocked please?Gallicus 09:10, October 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * You can't create pages starting with "http:" try to save it with another name. 17:24, October 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * I am not creating a page with that title. The page simply has the above as an external link and because of that link I can't save the page.Gallicus 18:22, October 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, that link is not globally blocked, so check out the local blacklists. 18:45, October 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Where would I do that? Gallicus 19:38, October 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Try looking for MediaWiki:TitleBlacklist or MediaWiki:SpamBlacklist. 19:43, October 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * This says that it is gone Blacklist.Gallicus 19:56, October 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Any suggestions on how I fix this problem? Other links with the same address (up to and including /spamfic/) work fine.Gallicus 03:26, October 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * This is getting ridiculous! A page that previously *would* save, now throws up the block due to the link: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/120516/1/Kun-chan_And_White_Wolfs_ Hentai Help please!Gallicus 22:54, October 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * What's the wiki in question, the page and the external links? 23:08, October 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * The wiki is: Jusenkyo. The page that used to save but no longer saves now with a spam filter warning is: here. The first problem link (with break to allow page to save here) is: http://i99ronhe.island.liu.se/ fanfic/spamfic/hentai.txt and the second is (again with break in link) http://www.fanfiction.net/s/120516/1/ Kun-chan_And_White_Wolfs_Hentai_Fics  Gallicus 01:15, October 20, 2010 (UTC)
