Report:Spam filter problems

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

base64 encoded pngs
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: iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAABAAAAASACAYAAABhrT9bAAAKP2lDQ1BJQ0MgcHJvZmlsZQAASEudlndQU9kXx

I will do some stuff with the image using and javascript located on mediawiki:common.js, have some restrictions on images that come from another subdomain that's why I need to use base 64.

I really believe there should be a way to ignore the spam filter if one is admin of the wiki, unless there is a way and I can't find it.

Edit: w:c:tibia:Outfiter/9.6_Gnome

Something like we are investigating this issue as an answer would be enough :s

 * string is too long, you'll need to change the file name length -- Austin (Talk) 07:22, July 13, 2012 (UTC)

The name is "Outfiter/9.6_Gnome" is that long?

If you mean "iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAABAAAAASACAYAAABhrT9bAAAKP2lDQ1BJQ0MgcHJvZmlsZQAASEudlndQU9kXx", that is just what the spam filter gives me, it actually continues, it is binary png data encoded in base64. I haven't been able to update this since 2 days ago (the day of the 9.6 update) because of the spam filter, I tried editing via API with sysop credentials, the spam filter is blocking it, isn't there a way to override the spam filter on some edits having sysop access?

If there isn't then I ask this: if not the name but the content string is too long I might just add spaces, after how many characters the string becomes "too long"?

Thanks --Daniel Letalis (talk) 08:41, July 13, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, this is fixable on javascript level with the "spaces" method I thought about, it will probably reduce compression but no other option

Ghostbusters Wiki - Image
When I tried to edit an article, I got the spam protection filter alert because of a png image that was pre-existing on the article before I edited it. This is in error, the image was added by the chief Admin of the page. I think this might have been a glitch from the recent wiki update to 1.19. Please lift this filter.

Article: "Spacebusters" article Mrmichaelt (talk) 07:24, July 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I tested the article. Once I removed this specific image, the edit went through. Seems like the filter is unjustly flagging all images with super long titles. Any way to fix that? Mrmichaelt (talk) 07:44, July 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * I played a hunch and renamed the image file to a shorter name and the edit went through for the Spacebusters article. So seems like the filter needed to be adjusted. Mrmichaelt (talk) 07:54, July 11, 2012 (UTC)


 * You're right. The File name was too long. -- Austin (Talk) 12:11, July 11, 2012 (UTC)

I tried editing Gray Fox's article to include an image showing the Red Gray Fox figurine being given out at Comic Con among other things, but it wouldn't let me edit the article for reasons I can't seem to perceive.

Mediawiki:Common.css nasty issue
spam filter is considering spam my css code in w:c:tibia:Mediawiki:Common.css or any other file where I need it to be. I'm an admin, and this is happening even editing a file that only admins can edit(Mediawiki:Common.css). This is my code, I have many of these on several pages besides the one I want to use on common.css, I know I could create a png with all of them but is that really necessary?

I ask again, is there a way to override spam filter on some of my edits being an admin on my wiki?

(code removed for spacing issues on this page --  Random Time )

--Daniel Letalis (talk) 11:03, July 13, 2012 (UTC)
 * I've placed this code at w:c:tibia:MediaWiki:Outfiter.css
 * You can import it onto your common.css using the code Whilst there is a way for admins to whitelist URLs that need to be added to their wiki, I don't think this is the case with your problem, as it doesn't trip a blacklisted URL  - feel free to contact a VSTF member here if you wish to change this code. --  Random  Time  15:59, July 13, 2012 (UTC)

I won't use that page, the code was an example, as I said I have many codes in several places, I don't want to have to depend on someone to do simple css edits while I'm an admin of the damn wiki, thanks for your help and attention, I just want to express that this is total bullshit and whoever thought about a spam filter that won't allow admins bypass some content is a moronic idiot, don't take it personally, I'm sure it wasn't you who designed the system or the rules. Thanks again.

 * It's such a small image. It's much more convenient (and faster) to include it directly into the stylesheet. And what do you mean you "can't unblock this filter by now"? -- peco e s 19:00, July 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * Long strings of text get spammed a lot, so we've added a spam filter that stops this. The only use that's been a false positive in this has been users adding base64 images into stylesheets - which isn't a common use, so at the moment we'd prefer to keep this filter up. The 2 workarounds we can offer is that you either upload the file to the wiki, or you can give us the code that we can put on another CSS page that you can then import (this might be inconvenient if you want to edit at a later date). --  Random Time  19:08, July 19, 2012 (UTC)
