It appears that linkspammers have learned that they can hide their dead link spamming from Special:AbuseFilter/711 by using web.archive.org to conceal their behavior. The filter currently intentionally does not flag replacing deadlinks with web.archive.org ... but, I saw in this edit that the user utilized web.archive.org to conceal their spam addition.
Not sure how widespread this is as yet, but I wanted to flag it here. Changing the edit filter could result in a lot of false positives; but leaving as-is allows linkspammers to hide their behavior from the filter. So, not sure the best solution here. Thoughts? --- Barek ( talk • contribs) - 22:28, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

A website on moblie phone/tablet reviews and info, and I believe that Wasayy Khan is from Mobilesiri. His edit summaries are misleading; Wasayy replaced dead links with "relevant" ones that lead to the Mobilesiri website. -- Hounder4 17:52, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

Verine123 ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · blacklist hits · AbuseLog · what links to user page · count · COIBot · Spamcheck · user page logs · x-wiki · status · Edit filter search · Google · StopForumSpam) appears to have a promotional article with a link to a spam site on their user page and talk page. Material from this promotional article was seemingly speedy deleted on April 12, 2016. In addition, material from this promotional article was added three times to a similarly named article ( 1, 2, 3). That article also had a massive section removed by the user. That article also had the same promotional material added by a possibly related user. Since then, all the user's edits have been to their user page and talk page to maintain the promotional article. 208.94.28.52 ( talk) 20:25, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
The domain was spammed a year ago as well, using the same tactics (replacing existing links, whether good or bad, with 144hzmonitors links) so this is not a new issue. -- bonadea contributions talk 19:23, 15 May 2016 (UTC)
