Report and discuss cross-wiki spam
Hi, welcome to the talk page of the antispam project!
Information we need to investigate promotional spam:
- a list of the accounts involved in cross-wiki spam
- the reasons you think there's cross-wiki spam, e.g. single-purpose accounts coordinating on closely related topics which don't meet notability guidelines and/or contain highly promotional content
- have there been past community discussions on local projects? Have sockpuppet investigations been conducted?
We can investigate on other wikis, find new sockpuppets or suspicious edits and find new data to get the bigger picture. When a case is solved, we can inform local communities to ask for help with cleanup (e.g. by deleting pages or systematically removing promotional material).
We also keep an archive of past cases to keep track of and minor cases and internal matters.
