Talk:SpamBlacklist

i'm not really sure that this spam blacklist works ... could someone without admin right try entering links to one of the urls in the blacklist ? -- Dionoea 01:01, 27 January 2006 (CET)

The spam blacklist automatically hides changes which include a links to one of the sites mentioned on the blacklist (I think that's what happens - I'm not too sure myself). The page is set as protected so the spammers don't clear the list (or post spam on it ;).

Meta has some stuff on how the list works: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Spam_blacklist

ps- it uses regex, so if you know regex you can do some wacky matching stuff. Otherwise just use \. instred of dots.
