Talk:Spam blacklist
- Proposed additions
- Please provide evidence of spamming on several wikis. Spam that only affects a single project should go to that project's local blacklist. Exceptions include malicious domains and URL redirector/shortener services. Please follow this format. Please check back after submitting your report, there could be questions regarding your request.
- Proposed removals
- Please check our list of requests which repeatedly get declined. Typically, we do not remove domains from the spam blacklist in response to site-owners' requests. Instead, we de-blacklist sites when trusted, high-volume editors request the use of blacklisted links because of their value in support of our projects. Please consider whether requesting whitelisting on a specific wiki for a specific use is more appropriate - that is very often the case.
- Other discussion
- Troubleshooting and problems - If there is an error in the blacklist (i.e. a regex error) which is causing problems, please raise the issue here.
- Discussion - Meta-discussion concerning the operation of the blacklist and related pages, and communication among the spam blacklist team.
- #wikimedia-external-linksconnect - Real-time IRC chat for co-ordination of activities related to maintenance of the blacklist.
- Whitelists
There is no global whitelist, so if you are seeking a whitelisting of a url at a wiki then please address such matters via use of the respectiveMediawiki talk:Spam-whitelistpage at that wiki, and you should consider the use of the template {{edit protected}} or its local equivalent to get attention to your edit.
Please sign your posts with ~~~~ after your comment. This leaves a signature and timestamp so conversations are easier to follow.
Completed requests are marked as {{added}}/{{removed}} or {{declined}}, and are generally archived quickly. Additions and removals are logged · current log 2024/08.

Proposed additions
[edit]
|
This section is for proposing that a website be blacklisted; add new entries at the bottom of the section, using the basic URL so that there is no link (example.com, not http://www.example.com). Provide links demonstrating widespread spamming by multiple users on multiple wikis. Completed requests will be marked as {{added}} or {{declined}} and archived. |

Spambot abused link
[edit]- Link/text requested to be blacklisted:
x.com/RTtereschenko - abuselog #1
- abuselog #2
I'm blacklisting this link because it's being abused by a spambot that's IP hopping from an Ukrainian mobile service provider. It's being catched by filters, but this keeps leading to entire IP ranges being (globally) blocked, which probably shouldn't happen. - XXBlackburnXx (talk) 23:33, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

This section is for proposing that a website be unlisted; please add new entries at the bottom of the section. Use a suitable 3rd level heading and display the domain name as per this example {{LinkSummary|targetdomain.com}}. Please do not add the protocol part of domain name, eg. http
Remember to provide the specific domain blacklisted, links to the articles they are used in or useful to, and arguments in favour of unlisting. Completed requests will be marked as See also recurring requests for repeatedly proposed (and refused) removals. Notes:

amasty.com
[edit]amasty.com
I kindly request the removal of amasty.com from the blacklist. The links to our site were added to e-commerce and retail-related pages where additional information and/or context was necessary. Amasty is a well-established name in the e-commerce industry and our blog articles are crafted to offer in-depth, relevant content that can greatly enhance Wikipedia readers' understanding of various e-commerce and business topics.
We understand the importance of maintaining Wikipedia's integrity and will be committed to contributing positively to the Wikipedia community. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tomtumper (talk)
- Sorry, but seeing this doesn’t really convince me that the spamming will stop. - XXBlackburnXx (talk) 16:24, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
Declined per our policy "we de-blacklist sites when trusted, high-volume editors request the use of blacklisted links". If anyone watching this disagrees, feel free to remove it. - XXBlackburnXx (talk) 16:34, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
Troubleshooting and problems

This section is for comments related to problems with the blacklist (such as incorrect syntax or entries not being blocked), or problems saving a page because of a blacklisted link. This is not the section to request that an entry be unlisted (see Proposed removals above). |
