I've found 2 pages not quite associated with customer page spam, but also without any particular purpose:
- http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Test_page_1
- http://wiki.spiralknights.com/This_is_totally_not_spam_customer_care
By some accident, the page for Concussive Firebolt got deleted instead of the spam page it was moved to. The original version of Concussive Firebolt page can be find in history of the spam page. The talk page needs to be moved/restored as well.
This deleted page looks like it had regular content (at least at the beginning). Checking it would be appriciated.
For a long time, there was no update to Release Notes on the wiki. One of the editors created release notes for the Starlight Cradle Update but both Release/all and Release/latest pages are protected from editing. Of course, there were some other updates that should be mentioned on the Release page but there shouldn't be any release notes created for them on the wiki.

I think I nabbed them all.

Taken care of. One is a testing page by us, so that's fine.

This should be fixed. I suspect that there might be several other pages that were accidentally deleted like this when we did mass deletions of spam.

That page was actually http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Help_talk:Style_guide and was already restored.

Clotho is looking into updating this. She's a hero.
We've gone ahead and protected Talk:Main_Page.
It really wasn't being used for anything legitimate in quite some time and was just being used to publish Spam. Feel free to use this thread if needed instead.
Can you create these pages, please?

If you can't create File: pages without image, I can upload them somewhere.
EDIT: Added alchemy path page.
Can you create these pages, please?
Rather than creating them, I've removed "call" from the black list. That way you can create any other associated pages you need to rather than have to keep asking. Plus it will make adding the images easier. Eventually I'll want to add this word back into the black list, but I don't think there's a rush.

Blacklisted word "usa" prevents from uploading icons for usables. Names of icons of usables are usually in this format: Usable-Item_Name_icon.png. That makes from this wiki-wide problem, although it is mostly needed for new Prize Box icons.
EDIT 9/28/2017 - 14:15: Sorry, but bump! Also, feel free to delete old completed requests, as you've mentioned earlier. I'm fine with that.
EDIT 10/15/2017 - 16:01: Removed list of support spam pages, because they were recently deleted.
EDIT 11/02/2017 - 11:09: Found another one: http://wiki.spiralknights.com/User:Alex_Rock
EDIT: The problem with "usa" is solved now, but not thanks to this thread.
deleting spam helps a lot with the community, so thanks for that!
deleting spam just saves the community really, so thanks for that!
Just a note that I cleaned up all the requests we've had. For our sanity, I'm likely going to delete them as I do so to keep this thread clean. If that's confusing, please let me know.
For large amounts of wiki vandalism: Please feel free to send in a support request. We have tools that help us clean it up so you don't need to spend a lot of time on it. With that being said, it's always handy if you revert spam changes to existing pages.
