    Bunch of domains for monitoring. I suspect this lot of spammers will try to reinsert some of the removed links. MER-C 16:59, 11 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Another batch, blacklisted domains removed. MER-C 16:47, 21 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    User Talk page spamming

Mojoworker (talk) 05:21, 21 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    To be fair, they apologized and stopped after being referred to the relevant policies ([1]). –FlyingAce✈hello 18:12, 21 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes, they did, but the recruitment posts remain. And certainly WP:NOTHERE. Mojoworker (talk) 04:04, 22 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    The recruitment posts all need to blanked. —Dirk Beetstra T C 04:41, 22 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    welookups.com

    In the last couple of days I have noticed, I think, three different IPs adding spam https links to welookups. I'll try to keep an eye on it but it might be worth recording here. Johnuniq (talk) 06:06, 25 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Should be blacklisted globally. MER-C 09:13, 25 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    WP:REFSPAM by User:Thomasnetrpm

    Happened across this user when putting my new refspam detection tool through its paces. I've blocked indefinitely, the last 200 or so edits involve adding REFSPAM thrown in with legitimate references. Some help with the cleanup would be appreciated. MER-C 19:21, 25 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    The list of domains in the now generated userreport can be nearly verbatim copied and blacklisted. Is it of any use to you to have read access to my LiWa3 link addition database? And maybe I can generate code in LiWa3 doing exactly what you do, checking at time of addition of said domain - detecting whether users use x domains (>3) that have been used less than y times (<4) in total is also suspect. —Dirk Beetstra T C 19:31, 27 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    I should be learning SQL properly soon, so yes.
    >And maybe I can generate code in LiWa3 doing exactly what you do
    I fetch the number of live links (everywhere. This should be main namespace only, but this is unreliable because of $wgMiserMode -- a necessary evil, where the WMF is fully responsible for the underlying cause). This is a better measure than getting total link additions straight out of the linkwatcher DB, because it takes into account links that have been explicitly rejected by the community. That would require you to do a cross-wiki linksearch for each link addition. I don't think the WMF servers, let alone my tools, would be able to handle that. MER-C 20:18, 27 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Two more spammers caught with this tool. MER-C 18:22, 28 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
