I use this account primarily for cross-wiki spam cleanup.
If you leave me a message here, I will respond here to avoid splitting our discussion.
Welcome[change]
Hello, A. B., and welcome to the Simple English Wiktionary!
We hope you are happy editing here. Some helpful pages to begin with are Wiktionary:Community Portal, Wiktionary:Useful, Help:Contents, Wiktionary:Rules, and Wiktionary:How to edit.
If you want to talk with other members or ask a question, you can visit Wiktionary:Simple talk. Administrators can also help you with more difficult problems. You can also ask me for help. The best way to do that is to leave a message on my talk page. Just remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing "~~~~" (four tildes) at the end of your words.
Good luck and happy editing! Razorflame 19:04, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for the welcome! I'm active with cross-wiki-spam cleanup; this is such a small project that if someone spams this project, they're probably spamming others so feel free to leave me a note here to look into it. Even if the spam is confined to this project, I'm still happy to help. If it's persistent and the spammer ignores warnings, blacklisting is more effective than account-blocking:
- MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist -- persistent spam that's confined to this project only goes on this blacklist. As of now, it's not been used. See w:en:MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist for an example of what such a page looks like.
- I can't edit this page since I'm not an admin here, but I'm an admin elsewhere and I'd be happy to provide the regex text strings for admins here to use on this blacklist
- meta:Spam blacklist -- spam that hits more than Wikimedia Foundation project
- meta:Talk:Spam blacklist is where you report cross-wiki spam; I or another meta admin will look into it and blacklist it
- MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist -- persistent spam that's confined to this project only goes on this blacklist. As of now, it's not been used. See w:en:MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist for an example of what such a page looks like.
