Template talk:No spam

Why is it protected? I created it, can't I get some sort of exception? I do feel I should be able to edit, even if I don't have to... — Coastergeekperson 04 ^TM _{circa. Jul/26/09 05:52}

hi, i think {{#tag:math|{{{1|account}}},円}}[[File:Nospam at.svg|12px| ‐at‐ |link=]]{{#tag:math|{{{2|example.com}}},円}} is much better for this job... --ebraminio ^talk 09:32, 9 October 2010 (UTC) Reply

I noticed this template is used at the new, slimmed-down User:Jimbo Wales like this: {{nowrap|{{NonSpamEmail|someone|example.com}}}}, which displays as: someone[画像:@]example.com.

For comparison, here it is without nowrap: {{NonSpamEmail|someone|example.com}}, which displays as: someone[画像:@]example.com.

Some checking shows that the {{nowrap }} is highly desirable to avoid ugly wrapping. Therefore, the nowrap should be a part of this template? Johnuniq (talk) 08:02, 18 August 2011 (UTC) Reply

This template is used in {{di-no permission-notice }} for specifying the OTRS e-mail address: permissions-en[画像:@]wikimedia.org. If I try to copy & paste the e-mail address using Opera or Chromium, the @ is dropped, so I get "permissions-enwikimedia.org". On the other hand, if I try to copy & paste the e-mail address using Seamonkey or Firefox, then copy & paste works and I get the full e-mail address, including the @ sign. Would it be possible to fix the copy & paste issue in Opera and Chromium somehow? I have recently got a few of complaints on my talk page from people who tell me that e-mails to "permissions-enwikimedia.org" (without @) bounce back at them as undeliverable, and I suspect that these users have used copy & paste in Opera or Chromium. It would be unfortunate if a lot of messages won't arrive to OTRS because of a copy & paste bug.

I've not tried MSIE or Safari and I've not tried any browsers for commercial operating systems. It is possible that other operating systems might behave differently. --Stefan2 (talk) 13:17, 18 July 2012 (UTC) Reply

accountexample.com Is my copy paste from IE8, no @ showed up. Template:@ is the cause?--Canoe1967 (talk) 09:47, 19 July 2012 (UTC) Reply

Fix the reference so that it's not a basic url and/or archive it to stop the link becoming useless one day. --☣Anar chyte ☣ 02:08, 17 May 2015 (UTC) Reply

It's not really a reference, it's just a Google search to show the current results of searching for "all spam is automated". There is no reason to archive the search results because there is very little doubt about the statement that (nearly) all spam is automated, and the link is just a convenience for anyone unfamiliar with the concept.

Fixed. Needed to purge the cache of the page to fix it. —MRD2014 📞 What I've done 23:19, 14 March 2017 (UTC) Reply

Could someone change the source code so that you can add a parameter for a blue at sign for URLs (using File:Blue at sign.jpg), like the code at Wikimania:Template:Nospam? Thanks! Nigos (talk ·contribs ) 07:06, 9 April 2018 (UTC) Reply

@Nigos: Not done: The Wikimania template has a different syntax, so it cannot be directly transfered. I can create a separate template, {{No spam blue }} that produces the blue at sign, but it really should use an SVG, not a JPG, image. --Ahecht (TALK

Currently, there is a hatnote on the template's main page as well as its /doc subpage. Could you please move them to the same place? (/doc seems to be the most appropriate place for this.) Kleinpecan (talk) 18:17, 8 April 2021 (UTC) Reply

To editor Kleinpecan: done, both hatnotes are topping the /doc page. Thank you for your input! P.I. Ellsworth ed. ^{put'r there} 07:01, 9 April 2021 (UTC) Reply

Add CSS pointer-events: none to style to disable dragging the at symbol. QuickQuokka ^{[⁠talk • contribs]} 17:05, 20 December 2022 (UTC) Reply

Why? The current version, with the ability to drag the at symbol. seems fine to me. — Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 19:48, 21 December 2022 (UTC) Reply

Hello, I’m looking into this protected edit request. Considering the outstanding question above, I’m taking no action on the template and marking the request answered. If consensus for the change is reached, please re-request. Zsinj ^Talk 03:31, 22 December 2022 (UTC) Reply

I'm entirely unsure of how much this truly matters, considering it's sort of just an unseen comment in the template itself, but revision 1016814577 added a typo to the word "Categories". InfiniteSwans (talk) 00:38, 31 January 2023 (UTC) Reply

@HouseBlaster and Paine Ellsworth: I've just discovered this change. I've reverted that edit, as it's not needed and actually unhelpful for screen reader users like me. From the HTML source you can see that the at sign is automatically used as alt text in this case, because the image isn't a thumbnail; see Wikipedia:Extended image syntax. Also "@" is the best alt text here for cut-and-pasting purposes and that punctuation mark reads well on all screen readers. I had a discussion about this somewhere a while back; I thought it was on this talk page but obviously not. Graham 87 12:27, 13 February 2023 (UTC) Reply

The discussion in question is linked from this TFD. Graham 87 12:39, 13 February 2023 (UTC) Reply

Please make it so that in dark mode, the @ symbol loads in white. I am a dark mode user, and the template's @ symbol being hard to see on dark mode bothers me.

@The Master of Hedgehogs: Please either figure out how to do this yourself or ask at the technical village pump for someone to do it for you. I can't for obvious reasons. Also, you didn't use an actual editing request template. Graham87 (talk) 15:16, 14 December 2023 (UTC) Reply

Hello, I see dark mode support for this template has been requested a couple times in different places. I just stumbled on it in the wild, so submitting a fix.

The .mw-no-invert will (somewhat confusingly) invert the colors on the @ image when in dark mode. This has no effect in light mode. Tested in User:Mlkj/sandbox with light and dark mode. Thank you. Mlkj (talk) 12:29, 29 February 2024 (UTC) Reply

Done, though I'm permanently in a different sort of dark mode ... :-) Graham87 (talk) 15:06, 29 February 2024 (UTC) Reply

Description of suggested change:

Add skin-invert class to image so it is properly visible in the official night mode.

Just FYI, this template has a black @ symbol in dark mode, basically making it invisible. —Locke Cole • t • c 17:19, 14 August 2025 (UTC) Reply

It appears this has been fixed, since it does not display as black in dark mode. SeaDragon1 (talk, contributions) 21:23, 29 May 2026 (UTC) Reply

Remove redundant mw-no-invert class, as skin-invert does the same thing (if not a better job). Axolitl (talk | contribs) 05:23, 30 July 2026 (UTC) Reply
