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=

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

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. Vega-Dark 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? -- RandomTime 09:22, April 9, 2012 (UTC)

Templates?

It seems that if one searches for a template (format Template:Example 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 -- RandomTime 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. Sactage (talk) 13:36, April 14, 2012 (UTC)


Can't use references tag

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: < references > < a/ >

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 <references/> rather than <references></a> and it will allow you to save the page. Rappy 22:08, April 15, 2012 (UTC)

Having Troubles importing page

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.

The following link, text or pagename is what triggered our spam filter: cum

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)

The annoying spam filter strikes again. Relax the more paranoid parts of the filter so it doesn't impede admins from performing maintenance. Or better still, stop the spam filter from bugging sysops, I'm fairly sure we know what we're doing. Thebrains222 Talk 07:15, May 8, 2012 (UTC)

Although you may know what you're doing, spambots who create a wiki do not. The spam filter is fairly minimal, as we try and prevent these problems. "File:060612.png" does not block any known filters, and your edit doesn't show in our log, I'll try and continue investigating what's caused this -- RandomTime 08:09, May 8, 2012 (UTC)
