| Blue | Reupload activity | Image or media file reuploads |
| Teal | Page movement | Structural page title changes |

|---|---|---|
| WHITE (XRM) | Title matches summary | IP creates a page with identical metadata |
| GRAY (URL) | Usernamelink match | User creates a page containing a URL mirroring their username |
| PURPLE (THR) | Lowedit count wall post | Account with fewer than 3 edits posts a link on a personal wall |
| BLUE (COI) | Conflict of interest naming | User establishes a wiki with a title or URL similar to their handle |
| YELLOW (WUR) | Rapid URL insertion | External link inserted on a fresh wiki within one hour of creation |
| GREEN (DUR) | Discussion link spam | Promotional link dropped inside community discussions |
