    This page is intended to get administrator attention quickly when dealing with external link abuse.

    For editors who want to get an administrator to have a look at a case of external link abuse or spamming:

    1. Make sure the editor's actions do not comply with WP:EL and/or WP:SPAM.
    2. Make sure the editor has been warned with the {{spam1}}, {{spam2}}, and {{spam3}} templates as appropriate on their user talk page.
    3. If the behavior hasn't stopped, add the following header to the bottom of this page in the following format:
      =={{vandal|<enter username/IP address here>}}==; followed by a description of the type of link being added and the type of articles being affected, and your signature using ~~~~
    4. Please check back later to monitor progress
    5. If an administrator removes the IP or username and doesn't handle the matter to your satisfaction, take it to the administrator's talk page or the administrators' noticeboard, but do not re-list the user here.

    For administrators handling assistance requests:

    1. For each of the users linked here, open their contributions and check for external link abuse. Also check if the users have been sufficiently warned, but have continued to vandalise.
    2. Move the case to the Completed requests section of this page.
    3. Repeat until the page is empty save for this header.

    Please consider link abuse_noticeboard&action=watch adding this page to your watchlist and adding your name here:
