I just asked today in the wikimedia-tech channel to have the automatic capitalisation turned off on the faroese Wiktionary.

*sigh* When are they finally going to turn off the capitalisation in *all* Wiktionaries?

Hello, because I am frequently active on the fo.Wiktionary I observed some spam-entries there. Now I found out, that this seems to be a problem on small Wiktionaries, because I visited the Nahuatl (nah) Wiktionary, the Aimara (ay) and the Breton (br) Wiktionary and found the same entries there. (Also on the qu, gv, mi, eo, vo Wiktionary) I made some screenshots for you http://members.kabsi.at/med/ramsch/spam.jpg and http://members.kabsi.at/med/ramsch/spam2.jpg I deleted the entries made in the mentioned Wiktionaries but maybe there are other Wiktionaries or Wikimedia project sites affected too and I just wanted to inform everyone in case you did not know. The spam were mostly found in Community portal , Current events, Help:Contents, w/index.php, Wiktionary:About or Wikipedia:General Disclaimer, Wiktionary:General Disclaimer.

Hello again, this seems to be a mayor problem, I visited several Wiktionaries today because I was interested if they had the same problems. I found the same entries in the following: aa, als, as, ast, ay, az, be, bn, bo, bs, co, da, el, eo, eu, fa, fy, gn, hy, kk, kn, km, ks, ky, lt, lo, ln, mi, mk, mr, mt, my, ne, oc, pa, ps, qu, sa, sr, sw, te, tg, tk, tl, uz, ur, vo, yo, za, zu Wiktionaries. There I deleted the spam posts, but for me it looks like there could be more in other Wiktionaries or other Wiki-projects. Hope I could help, regards, Elisabeth Anderl (aka Spacebirdy)

that's what you get when you have a lot of languages with very small communities.. doesn't keep people from setting up new ones.

Hoi, What a "wonderfull" opportunity to plug the idea of Ultimate Wiktionary. With the content of all wiktionaries in one resource, any vandalism will be more visible and it will be more easy to keep it in check.

For those who are severly tested because the development takes longer than initially planned, yes that is righ it is not nice. Be assured that it hurts noone more that it does myself.

Thanks, GerardM

Thanks for clearing this up on so many wikis. Next time you see it, please report the URLs at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Spam_blacklist so they can be blacklisted.
