According to Wikipedia there are three types of wikispam: "advertisements masquerading as articles, wide-scale external link spamming, and 'canvassing' (also known as 'internal spamming' and 'cross-posting')." While it is hoped that this type of behavior will not occur here at Elanthipedia, it is possible that we may see some cases of it.
Moderate external linking is acceptable. Examples can be a one time link to a personal page on a user page, or request to add a link to our list at the External Links page by posting on the discussion page.
Advertising by commercial sites will not be tolerated. The offending articles/content will be removed and the user will be banned.
Excessive linking and cross-posting will result in a rollback removing the offending edits and a warning on the user's talk page. If the incident occurs again, the user will be banned from editing privileges.
Note: Links as references in articles is not against our policy.
