When I try to edit an article, the spam filter blocks the action accusing spam in DIV tag.

"Spam protection filter

The page you wanted to save was blocked by the spam filter. This is probably caused by a link to a blacklisted external site.

The following text is what triggered our spam filter: <div style="position: relative;margin-bottom:4px;width: 250px; height: 16px;"><b>1.</b> Fábio (C)&nbsp;</div>"

How to disable it?

MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist

Check that page on your wiki.

Not bad, but...

My problem:

The following text is what triggered our spam filter: <pre style="overflow:auto">

My MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist is as clean as a new-born soul.

# External URLs matching this list will be blocked when added to a page.
# This list affects only this wiki; refer also to the global blacklist.
# For documentation see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SpamBlacklist

#

#
# Syntax is as follows:
#   * Everything from a "#" character to the end of the line is a comment
#   * Every non-blank line is a regex fragment which will only match hosts inside URLs

 #

Anything else?

I don't get it... what should I do?

The following text is what triggered our spam filter: <div class="NavHead" style="background: #32B432; color: #FFFFFF; height:auto">Changeling aspect</div>

Do I need to whitelist... exactly what?
Why is the Spamfilter is this over-reactive nowadays?

Looks like the spam filter reacts to a value or parameter you use in your html. I have no idea how to disable that kind of stuff aside from disabling the filter altogether, which cannot be done without disabling it from others as well.

Found the problem.
It's the height: auto parameter.

Interesting, because most of my Templates are derived from Wikipedia Templates, what uses this parameter.

After deleting this parameter it allowed me to save my work.

Alas, it doesn't solve xiao's problem.

Looks like the new spam filter is too strict.

I have loosened it up so you should be able to use your divs again.

Please see how you go with it now.

There is also a MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist page. Fragments entered there will override the global filter.
