Auto-blocking of accounts

An account will be blocked automatically if all of these conditions are met:

  • Its first edit is to its own userpage
  • The text of the new page contains http:// somewhere
  • The text does not contain any newlines

A few easy ways to avoid being blocked accidentally:

  • Make your first edit to the Sandbox, or find a page that needs corrections.
  • Include newlines! (Most spambots don't)

If you do get blocked by mistake, see the Community portal for ways to contact an admin.

Technical notes: This site uses the AbuseFilter extension to auto-block users. The relevant filter on this wiki is filter 6.
