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 2024/07.

Proposed additions
|
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. |

LTA Spam. multiple similar domains earlier added to the blacklist. Is there a way to blacklist all "warung" domains? This keep coming back. EstrellaSuecia (talk) 08:03, 24 December 2022 (UTC)
- @EstrellaSuecia: I also recall earlier fc2.com or web.fc2.com sites. Is there anything useful there or could we just blacklist these to stop this? @Billinghurst:, can you do do a 'datadump' for fc2.com and web.fc2.com so we can assess the crap:useful ratio on these? --Dirk Beetstra T C (en: U, T) 06:37, 25 December 2022 (UTC)
amended to a regex for warung and the base domain. — billinghurst sDrewth 04:10, 31 December 2022 (UTC)

Cross wiki linkspamming, sockpuppets. Mostly on en, but has spammed fr, es, and zh as well. - MrOllie (talk) 13:07, 30 December 2022 (UTC)

evlegacy.com
evlegacy.com
Per en:MediaWiki_talk:Spam-blacklist#evlegacy.com. COIBot doesn't seem to have made the on-wiki report, but querying it on IRC indicates that it's been spammed by multiple accounts cross-wiki. GeneralNotability (talk) 17:08, 30 December 2022 (UTC)
- @GeneralNotability:
3 spammed domains
In addition to the domain User:COIBot/LinkReports/technolytical.com which I recently added, there is also three further domains that were being spammed.
thehomestore.com.pk
defineprogramming.com
withworthy.com

A redirect service used by spambots through url redirects and not a link on any of our wikis. — billinghurst sDrewth 07:19, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
- @Billinghurst:

about.com
This site has now been taken over and is solely marketing and full of redirects to a whole range of sites and will never be a valid reliable site whilst this is occurring. — billinghurst sDrewth 07:45, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

These are automated reports, please check the records and the link thoroughly, it may report good links! For some more info, see Spam blacklist/Help#COIBot_reports. Reports will automatically be archived by the bot when they get stale (less than 5 links reported, which have not been edited in the last 7 days, and where the last editor is COIBot).

- If ALL links are added by IPs, and the link is added to more than 1 wiki
- If a small range of IPs have a preference for this link (but it may also have been added by other users), and the link is added to more than 1 wiki.

amisdecolette.fr
amisdecolette.fr
Hi, please remove from blacklist \bamisdecolette\.fr\b (see [1], non relevant.). It is the website of a reference association dedicated to the French author Colette, with her archives, etc. JohnNewton8 (talk) 16:24, 26 December 2022 (UTC), sysop on fr-WP
- @JohnNewton8:
Removed from Spam blacklist. Very old, 14 years ago. At that time pushed indiscriminately to anything that was related to the subject, though I don’t think maliciously. Dirk Beetstra T C (en: U, T) 04:28, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
Thanks User:Beetstra ! JohnNewton8 (talk) 06:29, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

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). |
