The use of the blacklist actually is not just to block a special url, but to block its content, i.e., block link spamming. If example.org is blocked by the sbl, then any explicite link to the google-cache is blocked, too. The reason for that is that the url of the cached site contains the original (blocked) url. This blocking is intentional and it's good. But by using [[cache:example.org]], one is able to circumvent this mechanism. That could result in a big problem, if any link spammer get's aware of that fact, because such links a difficult to find. I guess, they can't be found via special:linksearch. I already started at w:de to log all additions of "[[cache:" using the abuse filter extension. I guess, I'll do the same at w:en. But that doesn't solve the problem, of course. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
