I was reviewing suggested edits recently and came across these two tag edits, made by the same person:
- flask tag wiki suggested editflask tag wiki suggested edit
- django tag wiki suggested editdjango tag wiki suggested edit
Both edits were rejected by me, but were ultimately approved by the community.
What stood out to me was the edit comment for each. One of the edit comments reads:
link to flask usage examples on Sourcegraph (disclaimer: I'm one of the creators of Sourcegraph.)
The other edit comment is similar. As I was reviewing, I thought the edits were borderline spam, so I investigated further. From the Sourcegraph About page:
Sourcegraph makes it easier to find the information you need: documentation, examples, usage statistics, answers, and more.
From what I understand, Sourcegraph is a tool to do code analysis; the tag wiki edits referenced above seem to just link to the Sourcegraph analysis of the Django and Flask source code.
My questions
Was I correct to reject the above edits as spam? If I was wrong, why are the edits not considered spam?
