Instructions for COIBot/Poke

This page is used to instruct User:COIBot to save reports on the use of external links. One can request 'LinkReports' for domains (showing all recorded additions of external links on said domain), or 'UserReports' for external links added by a certain user (showing all recorded external link additions for requested user). This functionality is complementary to the use of these templates on WT:WPSPAM, WT:SBL and WT:SWL.

For LinkReports: Add domains (everything before the first '/' or '?', stripped of http:// and 'www.') inside the {{LinkSummary}} template here (e.g. {{LinkSummary|pornographicfireparrot.com}} or {{LinkSummary|127.0.0.1}})
For UserReports: add the username inside {{UserSummary}} (for logged in users. E.g. {{UserSummary|COIBot}}) or inside {{IPSummary}} (for IPs. E.g. {{IPSummary|127.0.0.1}}).

COIBot will queue the reported domains/IPs/Users for reporting on either Wikipedia:WikiProject Spam/LinkReports (for domains) or Wikipedia:WikiProject Spam/UserReports (for both logged in users and IP users). Poked reports in the queue have higher priority than automonitored reports, but lower priority than meta xwiki reports and IRC-requested reports.

You have to be either in one of the granted groups on this wiki (settings 'grantedgroups' - currently containing all 'given' rights), or your username has to be granted (settings 'grantedusers'). These can be set by any meta admin in m:User:COIBot/Settings. Edits by other users adding a template to this page will be ignored by COIBot.

Please use this capability responsibly. For questions, poke User:Beetstra.

COIBot has not run since November 2023. Try https://spamcheck.toolforge.org/ instead
