Wild West Town wiki
A user in wild west town wiki cannot open a page with his name he called himself kwlkwl - for some reason that name is filtered as spam - the name is is his username on a different site (and hence he cannot change his name). it is necessary that his page will have this name because of a template that is used in the wiki. what can I do to help him open the page - is it possible to remove that name from the blacklist of the specific wiki?

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

<strikeFalse Accusation on Pikmin Wiki
I proposed the following message on Talk:Pikmin 3 when the spam filter said an icon (�) went through its filter, despite the fact it did not. The following message was proposed:

 ==Question== 

'''Did Nintendo mention anything about ship parts in the game? I recall someone mentioning a time limit, but what about ship parts? --Thenewguy34( Other) 10:08, June 17, 2012 (UTC)'''

I found the problem. Someone else had posted the icon, and it buzzed me for it, despite the icon (�) already being saved in the text. I cleared it out.--Thenewguy34( Other) 10:15, June 17, 2012 (UTC)

 * I do not understand how this particular combo triggered the filter. Did something happen in the past? -- Bunai82 (talk) 14:54, June 21, 2012 (UTC) edit for the past two weeks I couldn't post a comment, thinking it was a java function or that perhaps my account. It was only today that found out the reason for my comments disappearing, it was because the trigger word resulted in not letting me post! If it weren't for me giving up and attempting to create a blog post, I would have never known about the trigger word being a part of the spam filter. There are no alerts about this when you make comments. -- Bunai82 (talk) 14:56, June 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry about the lack of notification on the comment. That wasn't something Wikia ever coded in, and we're stuck with it like this unless they update the article comments feature. The problem has been fixed --  Random Time  17:20, June 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you.
 * Hope something can be done in later updates. -- Bunai82 (talk) 23:29, June 21, 2012 (UTC)

Lego Message Boards
On the LEGO Message Boards wiki, we're trying to create a page named "mbmkwm". That is someone's username on the actual LEGO Message Boards, but we can't name the page with his real name. How do we get around the filter? -BusyCityGuy, Admin on the LMBW

Spam Filter Issue
I didn't get this, so I can't post the full error message, but see the bottom of this page for info on it: http://sonic.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Chat_Rules_Link_on_Chat?t=20120623180255 --Bullet
 * It's because "a href=" is blocked. You have to tell us what you want to post and where and some VSTF can do it. 01:05, June 25, 2012 (UTC)
