Thanks for reporting this. I added a few from the top, rx-seote.com and mx.gs. The others from the top appear to be legitimate hosting sites that had spam domains on them. The long list of pharmaceuticals is confusing; some of them are probably spammer-owned but there are others that appear to be legitimate (like viagra.com). Perhaps some spam links were listed alongside legitimate links in order to improve search engine rankings? Not adding for now. silsor 23:10, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

animemanga.de, bleach.de, detektivconan.de, ...

Since August 2004 we try to get the reason from the owner of this list why this links should be added to Wikipedia, except that the title of the domain is similar to a popular anime video, but he refuses discussions and just uses Usernames and IPs to add the links again.

See some of the discussion and on animemanga.de you find this list of domains he is trying to get into Wikipedia to improve his raking and cash flow:

  • animemanga.de
  • bleach.de
  • detektivconan.de
  • digitalmonsters.de
  • dragonballz.de
  • gundamwing.de
  • gundamseed.de
  • hikarunogo.de
  • inuyasha.de
  • naruto.de
  • onepiece.de
  • princeoftennis.de
  • ranma.de
  • shaman-king.de
  • yugioh.de
  • fanart.de
  • (maybe he gets some more, we will see...)

I am happy to add some of them to Wikipedia if he gives us reasons why they should be added (except that he earns more money). For now I don't see any other way to deal with him, he refuses any request for reasons with flame wars. The reverts go on for half a year now, no end in sight...

Thanks for help, and sorry to bother you with this... :-( Fantasy 19:33, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Again, he added some of his links without comments: 80.137.99.109... :-( Fantasy 19:44, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

A filter for (integer).(whatever).info (integer)]

Was: This spam has many mutations - one regex can block them

  • This spam has many mutations like [http://x.y.z.info nn] where x=random integer, y=letter, z=name, nn=integer count. Each time the spambot posts, it encodes select characters to HTML entities (e.g. &,<,>) thus corrupting any valid markup.
I am blocking all the mutations with this regex filter :
\.info\/?\s+[0-9]+\s*\]
For a less sensitive (more specific) filter, this might work
[0-9]+\.\S+\.info\/?\s+[0-9]+\s*\]

Also don't forget that some people run music related wikis, so mp3.com is perfectly valid. Example: "This album was released though mp3.com only and never got repressed after they closed their doors.". Including mp3.com to the spamlist is undesirable.

While we're at it, would it be horrible to add that "overflow:\s*auto" thing too or would break things at the wikis? Dori | Talk 04:20, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
adult.dynu.net [201], [202], [203] & [204] (and I previously noted some of those other sites above). -- Alec Usticke 10:50, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
overflow: itself is not evil, it's when it is used in conjunction with height:1px that it can make text invisible. These two together might be worth hacking a regex for, but the hiding technique doesn't work very well on the Wikimedia wikis anyway, since people are used to looking at diffs. I think it's more intended for wikis with clueless admins who do not realize that they still have spam in their pages. In any case, if we block that one, spammers are just going to change their bots to not use it anymore.--Eloquence 12:20, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
They're not meant to be hidden from the editors. They're meant to be hidden from the viewers, as these are from ethical spammers who don't want to ruin the content. Since I doubt there is a legitimate need for that 1px overflow, maybe it should get blocked. I doubt the spammers will remain "ethical" through that 1px deal for long, but it's worth a shot.

This is not a web site, but it is probably the best place to add it. The English Wiktionary is suffering chronical problems from one (or more) user(s) who is trying to enforce the adding of the word "exicornt" to Wiktionary. The only hits for "exicornt" in Google are from Wiktionary & Wikipedia deletion request pages. Though the pages exicornt and Exicornt have been protected, the vandal(s) simply add a "." or a "," to the end, and create a new page. If it is at all possible, we would very much like to get a block message like what happens when you try to add one of the URLs from this list.

feature request: customized spam blocklists for national subdomains/projects

Recently the administrators of ruwiki have proposed (see ru:?????????:?????) to introduce new MediaWiki pages MediaWiki:blacklist and MediaWiki:whitelist which would work as a substitute for the meta blacklist. The rationale is that meta blacklist updates come quite rarely.

In the case these messages are not initialized, the meta blacklist is used.--ACrush ?!/© 08:27, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

there seems to be a new bot in town

This wiki bot seems to have upgraded from attacking just front and the default help page (Help:Contents) to "remembering other pages it has found." By default the bot always tags it victim page and uses a 1px high div tag to hide it's actions.

the tag looks something like these:"[_pw15_]", "[_pw16_]", "[_pw17_]" and the bot has traditionally hit the site four to six times daily.

I did a google on just the tag an found massive numbers of wiki's and with the exeption of a Linux distro's wiki (SuSi if I recall) they all wiki's had been unaware of the attack. Using google to leave a message and remove the spam was too slow as theier were to many wiki and the repeate rate was too high.

FixTheLawco.uk reported a new varient which left all three tags given above as well as this message:

We leave content intact . We allow you to easily remove the additions We respect your pages and appologize for the spam We are the Ethical Spammers group - (this is an oximoron - two terms that are put together but are opposed meaning)

unlike prior uses of this bot they were a lot less offensive: see history

This is a good example of the original flavour: here you can also find stacks more by googleing [_pwxx_] where xx is any number you fancy.

Block spam words

At KatrinaHelp.info, I was using a spam blocking approach similar to Spam blacklist. I found this approach to be a losing strategy because there is an infinite number of potential spammer URLs. One of their strategies is to use redirects ==>:

wiki link => temporary spammer URL ==> static spammer URL.

No matter how many URLs I put in $wgSpamRegex a new spammer would show up with a different URL.

I started to notice the spammers used repetitive terms, (such as Xanax, Online-Poker, etc.) They have to, because they want the general public to find their URLs using the search terms known to the public. The need for finite repetitive unmasked terms is their Achilles' heel.

I am trying another approach. I am compiling and updating a list of favorite spam words and markups. I maintain the spam list using a regex editor called Regex-Coach (see followup below for spam list links).

I also look for markup unique to spammers. For example they like to use the DIV markup element with the height style equal 1px. The regex for this would be /height:\s*\dpx/

The alternative strategy of targeting spam words would be suitable for wikis that don't have to allow those words into the general lexicon. For example, how often would a wiki for petcare need to discuss Online-Poker or Viagra?

I would like to collaborate with anyone who is interested in compiling such a list of spam words.

--Jwalling 05:13, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

here's a (small) list to start with : [284] - sorry, my 2 pence :) No in fact I have been interested in spam for a while. I wanted to write a small spam detector using a backprop-trained neural network and some features (ie. give a rank to some words using a system similar to your matching, weird HTML tags, capitals, etc.). There are many spam archives available and useful to train the network. For non-spams, I guess some articles randomly picked from a wiki would do the job. I guess this would be quite robust, this has already been done but haven't had the time yet. Dake 10:36, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
Check out the Anti-spam Features page, where I've been trying to add some more explanation for using the $wgSpamRegex setting. I think it's important that we have simple instructions and examples like this, for the benefit of noddy MediaWiki administrators. Anyone have any improvments to make there?
I came up with similar a regex for matching the DIV style hiding trick, and included that in the example there.
For people who don't install the SpamBlacklist extension (most little wikis out there), checking for hundreds of spammer's domain names is not practical (the regex will be huge and difficult to manage) So clearly the best approach will be to block a few general spamming words as you say. In fact there are some general spamming words in this blacklist, if you look down to where it says "The following is derived from http://wikiblacklist.blogspot.com, thanks guys"
(incidentally http://wikiblacklist.blogspot.com no longer contains relevant information. It seems to have been comandeered by a spammer!)
...so yeah these are words which we never need to talk about, even on Wikipedia, but which crop up a lot in spam. I would copy them into the example $wgSpamRegex setting, except that then I can't save the page! -- Halz 13:38, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

Followup

I'm back. I have been refining the spam word list [285][286] which I use on two wikis. It has been working as expected. I analyze each successful spam deposit and look for something that would cause the most inconvenience to the spambot. The irony is, the blacklist works too well. I have to go to other wikis to find new kinds of spam. (The hunt is addictive.) One challenge comes from spam that is not hidden and has no key words, e.g. [http://a234.y345.info 33] is blocked by "/\.info\/?\s+[0-9]+\s*\]/i"; The spambot that uses the tactic also trashes regular content by converting <,>,& characters into encoded HTML. I relish the fact that spammers have to dumb-down their spam content to get it posted and hence they get less value for their efforts. (Is spam value an oxymoron?) --jwalling 00:48, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

Blacklist Pruning

It seems that there are quite a number of duplicate entries in the blacklist.

Out of curiosity and knowing that duplicates can slip into a large list like this, i've copied the blacklist, sorted it alphabetically, removed all commented lines and blank lines, leaving a list of 1208 lines.

In order to remove comments that are on the same line as the filtered expression, i had my texteditor replace the regex " #." with " #" until there was nothing to replace anymore i then had the editor remove all instances of the string " #" (there's probably an easier way to remove everything after a certain character, but hey.)

I then had the editor delete all duplicate entries and this left 1176 lines.

This means that there are at least 32 duplicates, but after a quick and dirty inspection, i learned that there are expressions in the list that have the same or broader effect as some other expressions. The entries azzacash and azzacash\.com are an example of this, the latter string does not need to be listed since it would be caught by the first one.

There is more that could be cleaned up though, strings that start with "www\." and strings that start with "\." which are unnescessary because the script takes care of those possibilities itself.

I think that pruning the list would be a good idea, since it would make the list smaller in size, potentially relieving the memory problems some people have.

Perhaps having a seperate list, containing the same expressions but sorted alphabetically (for easier searching) and without same-line comments would be a good idea for those that like to have a little extra data as possible.

Overflow: auto

Someone sems to have blocked the use of the overflow auto style in div boxes. This was not a very clever move as it completely breaks my user page (I can't even save it now). Please can you remove this block on userspace article. Thanks. —wikipedia:User:Gorgan almighty 81.86.64.69 13:48, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I guess someone has blocked the function for overflow:auXXXXXto;height. I think this is a horrible choice for a Spam block as none of the overflow:auXXXXXto;height functions on Wikipedia are used for spam. I think it should be removed from the blacklist immediately. — Moe ε 00:27, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
"none of the overflow:auXXXXXto;height functions on Wikipedia are used for spam"??? That's not right: yesterday, I blanked or reverted 645 pages on 100 domains which were using that. But it's really a bad tip for blocking the spambot using it, because I'm sure that the spambotmaster will immediatly stop using those invisible blocks and continue spamming... :o) Hégésippe | ±T± 07:03, 19 January 2006 (UTC) – Another thing: this spamblocking tip was not added in spam blacklist, but somewhere else. Hégésippe | ±T± 07:14, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
We don't want to inconvenience the spammers? Arrgggh! I recommend a substitute pattern for $wgSpamRegex = "/height\s*:\s*\.?\[0-1]/i"; . When the spammers adapt, we adapt. Why roll over for the spammers? The status quo reminds me of trench warfare during World War I.

Where is "overflow" in the spam blacklist? I don't see it anywhere. --BRIAN0918 14:03, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

I suspect the "overflow" filter is setup in $wgSpamRegex in LocalSettings.php. You can only block URLs in the Spam blacklist while $wgSpamRegex lets you block any string. Both allow you to use regex for pattern matching.

Ok, maybe some cases of spam are recorded with that function but innocent users on the EN Wikipedia can not edit their user pages because it's protected by a spam filter. — Moe ε 23:23, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

As guessed above, it's been added to the global configuration for the entire wiki farm. Discussions are under way to consider replacing that with an extension which allows filtering per-namespace. Meantime, I'll let the appropriate people know this is causing widespread problems and we'll see about removing it. Rob Church Talk 19:12, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

Proposal submitted to developers

  • I have submitted a proposal to upgrade the $wgSpamRegex feature and to add a User Interface that would be useful to small wiki owners. Add your comments.

Where to list single incidents

I have no way of knowing how many other Wikis a one-time vandal has hit. Is there any way to list doq.cassay.net as a potential entry? http://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=Viagra&diff=prev&oldid=744157 has resulted in en:wikt:User:62.216.253.101 being blocked. Where does one list these entries so other sysops of other wikis can match up the entries? --Connel MacKenzie 22:46, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Livinginternet.com

This site (which appears to be a good resource on superficial investigation) is suddenly upsetting the spamfilters on en:Internet. It doesn't appear to be on the blacklist (or at least I can't find it with an in-page search), and hasn't been mentioned here so I'm not certain what is happening. Thryduulf (en,commons) 11:26, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Investigation shows that it has apparently been linked in the article since this edit on 26 December. The history of the blocklist doesn't seem to show it being added or removed in any of the edits between the previous edit to the Internet article (05:32) and my edit (11:18).

Necessary on talk pages?

A link to http://coralcdn.org that is already present on en:Template talk:Canadian federal election, 2006 somehow is making it really annoying to edit it. Is there really a point in checking for spam in talk pages? --201.34.229.214 20:45, 24 January 2006 (UTC) (en:User:Valmi)

The English Wiktionary gets a lot of spam on talk pages. Some spambots hit only talk pages. --67.177.21.151 21:18, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Free subdomain services

I've removed some free subdomain services, such as the *.tt domains from JOYNIC. I know they are popular with spammers, but they are also popular for personal webpages. Many legitimate links exist on Wikimedia wikis. Before you add a second-level domain, please check if it is a free webhosting or DNS provider. -- Tim Starling 11:09, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Aqua Teen Hunger Force Spam Block

I tried updating the talk page for Aqua Teen Hunger Force, and it refused to accept the update because of www.adultswim.com triggering a spam filter. There wasn't anything in my message to indicate that. What gives? --192.80.68.68 14:02, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

I was trying to edit Allentown, Pennsylvania (English wikipedia) but I couldn't because http://www.lantabus-pa.gov is blocked. It's a bus company owned by the local government. Doesn't make much sense. 62.31.55.223 08:56, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

The spam filter is mistakenly blocking my edits to David Icke, due to a link to icke-media.com appearing on the page. I am unable to presently edit this page. Please help. Viriditas 09:25, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

Austin, Texas

I was attempting to add the following link to the "resources" section of Austin, Texas wiki entry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austin%2C_Texas)

I received a message saying the submission was blocked and the following text is what triggered the spam filter... www.apartmentratings.com

I think the postcard/images in the AustinPostcards collection of historic images would be a useful resource for people interested in Austin, Texas. I have no idea how this relates to apartmentratings.
