Thanks! I was frantically searching for a page to report spam, ask for blocks or mass deletions, but could not find any. Knowing about Project:Current issues helps.

As far as I can see a few of the spam posts disappeared already. But most of them are still there. Can we please get rid of these? Any maybe fix Flow to allow all users to effectively fight spam, not only administrators?

Looking at the contribution history, all of that user's edits have been hidden or removed. Though you may wish to apply for adminship yourself. As I see it, flow is weird.

Thiemo Kreuz (WMDE) (talkcontribs)

The hidden posts are still shown as being hidden. Can we please actually delete them?

Leaderboard (talkcontribs)

Yes Done Had to comb through the history and delete every one of those posts manually. Let me know if I've missed something.

Thiemo Kreuz (WMDE) (talkcontribs)

This feels sooo much better. Thanks a lot!

Remove Qgil-WMF's unused admin role, please

All done.

Qgil-WMF (talkcontribs)

Hi, can you remove Qgil-WMF's admin role, please? I haven't used it in years. Also, I searched but couldn't find a process to request removal of special permissions. I hope posting here is ok. Thank you!

@Johannnes89 thank you very much, and I have created the request there. I looked at Project:Administrators but didn't cross my mind to check Bureaucrats as well. This is a symptom that currently I really don't deserve the admin role.  ;)

The antispam filter is blocking my regular feedback post on Talk:MediaWiki UI due to a link to your own bug tracker.

Tropicalkitty (talkcontribs)

Try removing the underscores in one of the wiki links.

Lahwaacz (talkcontribs)

It wasn't due to underscores, a link to the bug tracker seems to be the problem.

Abusefilter false-positive?

Summary by DannyS712

Spam blacklist hit, fixed

Quiddity (WMF) (talkcontribs)

I was told that creating a full URL plaintext link to https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Relations_Specialists triggers a spam filter. I tested & confirmed, and am now confused. Screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/9oLm7ma.png

It only seems to occur if the last 3 characters of "Specialists" are included. If I remove the "sts" it saves.

Nothing is appearing in Special:AbuseLog.

I'm not sure if I'm forgetting a related aspect, or if there's a flaw in a filter. Could someone with AF expertise weigh in? Pinging user:Leaderboard and User:DannyS712 as recent AF editors. Thank you!

DannyS712 (talkcontribs)

Its not an abuse filter, its the spam blacklist

Hi. Damianos133 (talk contribs) is making unhelpful edits and I can find no standard way to warn them or preview my edits with Flow. Template:uw-vandalism1 made a mess the last time I used it here. Also, topic creation here doesn't seem to count as real editing.

DannyS712 (talkcontribs)

Account has already been locked, but thanks for reporting

Don't know how to notify vandalism

I fixed it, but I don't know who to notify the IP to.
