| notes = The associated page is used by the Mediawiki [[SpamBlacklist extension]], and lists strings of text that may not be used in URLs in any page in Wikimedia Foundation projects (as well as many external wikis). Any meta [[administrator]] can edit the spam blacklist. There is also a more aggressive way to block spamming through direct use of [[Anti-spam features#.24wgSpamRegex|$wgSpamRegex]]. Only [[developers]] can make changes to $wgSpamRegex, and its use is to be avoided whenever possible.

For more information on what the spam blacklist is for, and the processes used here, please see [[Spam blacklist/About]].

Please post comments to the appropriate section below: ''[[#Proposed_additions|Proposed additions]]'', '''[[#Proposed_removals|Proposed removals]]''', or ''[[#Troubleshooting_and_problems|Troubleshooting and problems]]'', read the messageboxes at the top of each section for an explanation. Also, please check back some time after submitting, there could be questions regarding your request. Per-project whitelists are discussed at [[MediaWiki talk:Spam-whitelist]]. In addition to that, please '''sign your posts''' with <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> after your comment. Other discussions related to this last, but that are not a problem with a particular link please see, [[Spam blacklist policy discussion]].

Completed requests are [[/Archives|archived]], additions and removal are [[Spam blacklist/Log|logged]].

Spam that is only affecting a single project should go to that project's local blacklist, if available: [[:en:Wikipedia:Spam blacklist|ENWP]]

Jorunn, Herby, I can't understand why PugliaRooms was banned. It's a useful resource to find touristic services for all the terms (regions and cities) it was associated to (Apulia, Salento, Lecce, Brindisi). Other links even less relevant are still working in the same page pugliarooms' link was deleted. Even more, This site was born in 2007 from a project funded and powered by institution such as UE Regione Puglia, Chamber of Commerce and the Municipality of Lecce (POR Puglia 2000 - 2006 misura 5.3). Look at the site to check it out.

Herby, I understand this. I just added pugliarooms' link where external links of other similar resources were. Just where external link section had been created. I can't understand why only this link was removed. Please really consider to remove this site from blacklist and unblock my ip...if i did a mistake it was made against my will, believe me!

:::Typically, we do not remove domains from the spam blacklist in response to requests from site-owners or others that have spammed them. Instead, we de-blacklist sites when trusted, high-volume editors request the use of blacklisted links because of their ''encyclopedic'' value in support of our ''encyclopedia'' pages. If such an editor asks to use your links, I'm sure the request will be carefully considered and your links may well be removed.

Sorry, but I just wanted to point out that pugliarooms.com is NOT a spamming site! The links in wiki pages were put just where other people could find useful (and even more, in the right place - external links - and for the right terms: apulia, salento, lecce, brindisi). Sorry but this is NOT spam. I think users should have judged about it, not a spambot (even human)... Anyway, thank for your time, I really appreciate your consideration about my objections and I have a great consideration for the service you give to the community. Bye! :)

My only opinion is that the link was added excessively, it was added cross wiki, and that the website wasn't obvioulsy useful to the Wikimedia projects.

I just wanted to be useful for all these users looking for resouces about apulia and salento. I'm REALLY afraid for that and it wasn't my will to cause damage to the community. I saw the warnings but i inserted the link again because i really didn't understand why only pugliarooms' link was deleted while the other commercial sites could stay there. I thought that pugliarooms' competitors had deleted it so it seems to me an unfair behaviour. I hope you can understand my reasons. Thanks again! diegolas

Jorunn, i just would like pugliarooms was unblacklist for a reason of evident good faith. It's a matter of corporate image. Please, i'm asking you just that. In google search you can find this site as "blacklisted". pugliarooms has institutionals partners and this starts to be seen in a wrong way. Please... You can say the website is not useful (i disagree cause the website gives also info about cultural and traditional events, but i respect your opinion) but punishing an entire corporation for an error of a newbie probably is too much.... Thank you guys for your answers.

===hungarybudapestguide.com + touristguide.gyuli.com===
{{closed}}
The hungarybudapestguide.com + touristguide.gyuli.com has been blacklisted, and I understand the blacklisting. The reason why the addresses were changed to hungarybudapestguide.com was that a new domain name was bought, and therefore I changed the old ones to the new address(there were no more links to touristguide.gyuli.com as the address was banned - if I remember correctly). I agree that I spammed Wikipedia with to many links, in the [[en:Hungary]] and [[en:Budapest]] category (in different languages), but it can also be seen that I have used it as a reference as well, and not for the purpose of spamming at all (see: [[en:Budapest#shopping]], [[en:Saint Stephen's Basilica]], [[no:Budapest]] and some others). I would ask for the blacklisting of hungarybudapestguide.com to be removed (the touristguide.gyuli.com can remain, anyway not using it), and I will not add the page any more as an external link, but it can be used as a reference when needed (that will only be in English and Norwegian, as they are the languages which I know how to use).

The reasons provided to blacklist this site (blog provider not matching enwiki's reliability standards, enwiki link spam by
one of its writers - [http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Spam_blacklist&oldid=472752#suite101.com Talk:Spam blacklist discussion], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Spam/2006_Archive_Dec#Suite101_dot_com WikiProject Spam discussion]) might have been valid when there was only one central blacklist, but now that enwiki has its own blacklist there is no reason to keep it up here, as other projects have different standards for reliability and external links.

===Local blacklisting vs. global blacklisting?===
|text= This section is for discussion of Spam blacklist issues among other users.
Now that there is a local blacklisting capability, the question arises as to when to blacklist locally and when to blacklist here.
}}

My personal opinion is that Meta should remain the primary venue for blacklisting. It's hard to predict who's going to spam more than one Wikipedia. While we now have a [http://tools.wikimedia.de/~eagle/linksearch tool] to find a given spam domain on the 57 largest Wikipedias, it remains problematic to find it on the 200 smaller Wikipedias or the other 450 to 500 Wikimedia projects (Wikiquote, Wikisource, etc.) There's value to all these other projects in listing stuff here.

I think the local blacklist option is good when one project wants a domain blacklisted and another project wants to use it. This happens occasionally when a given spammer makes himself intolerable on one project while the link is being used appropriately on other projects.

What do others think about this? --<font face="Futura">[[User:A. B.|A. B.]] [[User talk:A. B.|<sup>(talk)</sup>]] </font> 03:08, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
:Generally speaking, I agree with you. I don't have a big problem with local blacklisting on a particular project as a way to immediately interrupt a spammer in progress, but standard procedure should probably be to follow that action up with a request for meta blacklisting.--[[User:Isotope23|Isotope23]] 20:42, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
::As a crosswiki admin if I see spam pages created or bunches of links placed I immediately add them to local blacklists that I can access. It's quicker and easier than coming here (where I have not always been helpfully received) and there is at least one or two sites that I've blacklisted that have apparently valid links on en wp for example - just my 0.02 --[[User:Herbythyme|<font color="green">Herby</font>]] <b><sup><small><span style="color:#90F">[[User talk:Herbythyme|talk thyme]]</span></small></sup></b> 07:21, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
:See [[Spam blacklist/About]] and use the block with the smallest possible range. Now local blacklists are available it's not worth the work of blocking here and potentially causing side-effects in hundreds of wikis until there is an established pattern of cross-wiki spamming. Perhaps automatic rejection until at least five wikis have been spammed. And not automatic acceptance after five, just eligibility. [[User:JamesDay|Jamesday]] 20:46, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
::Interesting idea - how would you know a site was blocked by five wikis say? They do not tend to be well used (local blacklists) - I'm about the only one who adds to the 4 I have access to.

:::Metric criteria are nice I think. I don't think however we need to say "blocked from five or more wikis". I think that it is just okay "five or more wikis were spammed".

::If we don't blacklist by default here, then there should be a list or some mechanism (perhaps a bot) that tracks all the entries on the local lists so that other projects can check their links against what's been spammed elsewhere.

::Ideally, the bot (or human volunteers) would also run periodic checks using a faster, expanded version of http://tools.wikimedia.de/~eagle/linksearch to see if locally blacklisted links are showing up on any of the 700+ Wikimedia projects.

:::: When I was involved into the maintenance of this list, some years ago, I got such complaints by email periodically. It takes a time to reply them courtly but firmly. I think this kind of complaints are better to deal by the local people at first. Also I'm afraid this list affects too much websites. So I don't support "anything on meta and at first" tactics. And as for maintenance, this page is huge and editing is a pain. Single-website affecting spams are better to go to their local list, I think. --[[User:Aphaia|Aphaia]] 07:10, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
:::::[[User:Aphaia|Aphaia]], right now, it seems like this list is running pretty smoothly without much admin effort. As for its maintenance, that doesn't seem to be much of a problem now. As for e-mails, I'm not an admin, but because I make so many requests here, I get them too. I just refer them back to this talk page, suggesting that they make their case here before a wider audience; I also make sure at least they get answer from me here if not from others. The admins that work on this list seem to have thick skins, are undeterred by complaints and are always willing to do the work. As for this list affecting many websites, you're right and that argument cuts both ways. This list also protects many web sites from known spammers.

:::::In any event, what's the mechanism we're using for coordinating to ensure that spammers locally blacklisted in one place aren't spamming in another? Who's doing this work now? We must have a system in place to track this before we deprecate this list to use for proven cross-wiki spam only.

:::::A useful parallel is the whole open proxy issue. For several years, different projects have battled open proxies separately resulting in a large duplication of effort. An open proxy blocked on fr.wikipedia (perhaps our best OP-fighters) would then be used by other spammers, vandals or POV-pushers to cause problems on nl.wikipedia or ja.wikibooks. Only now is there some convergence on a meta-level solution. Meanwhile, we seem to be moving in the opposite direction with spam. Meta has a critical role to play here, whether it's blacklisting globally or just tracking globally to catch cross-wiki spam. Either way, we must not abdicate our role and our responsibility (especially to the smaller wikis which have proven so vulnerable to spam). --<font face="Futura">[[User:A. B.|A. B.]] [[User talk:A.

Here's another time to blacklist at meta: links to blatant copyright violations. For example, when the domains associated with this [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:A._B.&oldid=156307982#Looking_for_advice discussion] all finally get identified, they should probably be blacklisted here even if we only find it on one project. That's because these sites are all blatant violations of different magazines' copyrights; we can't afford to have links to these sites if we can help it. (See the discussion of "contributory infringement" at [[:en:Wikipedia:Copyrights#Linking to copyrighted works]] and [[:en:Intellectual Reserve v.

:Agree completely - I do think we need to hammer out some approach to Meta blacklisting policy probably by extended/clarifying [[Spam blacklist/About|this]].

My time is under considerable pressure at present but I do see this as a high priority and any help will be appreciated.
:We would be able to clarify cross wiki spamming as a concept, the fact that some site should probably be blocked at a Meta level anyway such as above or sites that may compromise machines etc. We can also make blocking url shorteners a policy for example --[[User:Herbythyme|<font color="green">Herby</font>]] <b><sup><small><span style="color:#90F">[[User talk:Herbythyme|talk thyme]]</span></small></sup></b> 08:00, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Besides of all ... I eventually found this page: [[Spam blacklist policy discussion]]. Since this discussion is lengthy and it becomes clearer we need to have a global policy of inclusion for maintaining this page, are we better to move the discussion place? Or better to stay here? --[[User:Aphaia|Aphaia]] 22:35, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

I'm for here, because if it's spam to one wiki odds are it's spam to most of them. Say, you have a marketing company that uses aggressive JavaScript, if each user on en.wiki who has been there complains, odds are it'll still be aggressive to fr.wiki. [[User:Yamakiri|Yamakiri]] 23:03, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

:Ok - I agree with Yamakiri's point generally. If they spam one wiki they probably aren't useful to another one (& if they are whitelisting is an option).

:However (& thanks Aphaia - I must have found that page in the past because I'd got it on my watchlist) we have [[Spam blacklist policy discussion]] & [[Spam blacklist/About]] and yet still no real clarity about policy or help for those who are not used to these pages be they admins or other users. My postings to both Foundation-l and the list for Meta met with nothing much so I guess it is up to us to hammer out guidelines policy etc. Until early October my time will be limited but I'll do what I can. I think it may well be worth a fresh start rather than trying to make changes to what we already have? --[[User:Herbythyme|<font color="green">Herby</font>]] <b><sup><small><span style="color:#90F">[[User talk:Herbythyme|talk thyme]]</span></small></sup></b> 11:15, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

My 2 cents. I'm sysop at 7 wikis. I would always use local blacklist (for instance, a spanish page isn't likely to be spammed on russian wiki), but if I see crosswiki spam as I JUST spot for [http://tools.wikimedia.de/~luxo/contributions/contributions.php?user=151.21.212.225], I'd come and global block. Local lists exist for a reason, and it's easier to keep track of. Global list should be used only when global blocking is needed. [[User:Drini|drini]] <sup>[[:es:User:Drini|[es:] ]]</sup><sub>[[:Commons:User:Drini|[commons:] ]]</sub> 14:17, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

::Beyond the 57 Wikipedias searched by [[User:Eagle 101|Eagle 101's]] [http://tools.wikimedia.de/~eagle/linksearch cross-wiki search tool], this blacklist is also relied on by [[Complete list of Wikimedia projects|650]]+ other [[:en:Wikimedia Foundation|Wikimedia Foundation]] wikis (Wiktionaries, other Wikipedias, etc.). So for Spanish projects, there are these additional targets for Spanish-only spammers for which we don't have much visibility unless someone manually runs a linksearch domain-by-domain, project-by-project:
::*[[:wiktionary:es:Portada|Wikcionario]]
::*[[:wikibooks:es:Portada|Wikilibros]]

::*[[:wikisource:es:Portada|Wikisource]]

::*[[:wikinews:es:Portada|Wikinoticias]]

::That or if we're lucky and Luxo's [http://tools.wikimedia.de/~luxo/contributions/contributions.php? x-wiki user search tool] finds the spammer using the same IP or user name on other projects. (That tool is sometimes off-line; at other times it misses contributions on some wikis).

::I think another, less important factor to consider is how non-Wikimedia sites might use a domain. All 3000+ [[:en:Wikia|Wikia]] wikis plus a substantial percentage of the [http://s23.org/wikistats/largest_html.php?sort=good_desc,total_desc&th=100&lines=2500 25,000+ unrelated wikis] that run on [[:en:MediaWiki|MediaWiki]] software have chosen to incorporate this blacklist in their own spam filtering. A site selling an obviously bogus get-rich-quick scheme or magnetic underpants as a cancer cure has no value to any of our projects nor to any of the 1000s of other wikis our blacklist affects. You might as well do everyone a favor and globally blacklist such a site even if it appears on just one Wikimedia project. --<font face="Futura">[[User:A. B.|A. B.]] [[User talk:A.

:::Picking up Drini's point, local blacklisting is great. However it is dependent on admins locally being

:::If any of those criteria are absent then so is local blacklisting effectively.
:::Equally on A. B.'s point, there are some sites that just aren't needed by the Foundation (or most other folk) such as the batch of adult sites I just added. In such a case it matters not whether they spammed one or many wikis they should be listed here not locally I think.

It has a 'stalk page' feature which picks up domains added to watched pages using the spamlink template.. I imagine it could stalk the local mediawiki blacklist pages as well.

::::In general, I think the Mediawiki:Spamprotectiontext(s) should be more explanatory. Most wikis only provide a rough translation of the default message. Often users dont know what to do when they are prevented from saving a page - after all, ''they'' didn't add the link. And so, if they are only doing a minor edit they will probably just leave it and go on with something else. /[[User:NH|NH]] 01:18, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

===Edit-summaries===
Hello all, I am curiousif it is possible to have the spamblacklist block also edit summaries.
Currently it does not block edit summaries (see [http://is.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=Notandi%3ASpacebirdy%2Ftest&diff=60877&oldid=58962] -> but [http://is.wiktionary.org/wiki/Melding:Spam-blacklist]). This would be really a great feature since the spambots are concentrating on the summaries. Best regards, --[[User:Spacebirdy|birdy <small>geimfyglið</small>]] [[User_talk:Spacebirdy|<sub>(:>&nbsp;)=|</sub>]] 16:34, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
:Is it necessary? A url appears on an edit summary plainly, not as a link. It is less bothersome than spamming on the actual text. It may even be a convenient spam detector. [[User:Hillgentleman|Hillgentleman]] 06:18, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
::The bothersome thing about this is not the link itself, which is in fact not clickable, but the fact that spambots are messing up dozens of wikis, thanks, --[[User:Spacebirdy|birdy <small>geimfyglið</small>]] [[User_talk:Spacebirdy|<sub>(:>&nbsp;)=|</sub>]] 08:49, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
:::Maybe hard to believe but I am not really interested in the tools, only what I can do with them. One I would '''love''' is the ability to block open proxy spambots across all wikis! --[[User:Herbythyme|<font color="green">Herby</font>]] <b><sup><small><span style="color:#90F">[[User talk:Herbythyme|talk thyme]]</span></small></sup></b> 12:35, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

==spamlink template==
[[en:User:Shadow1]] and I are working on the linkwatchers. At the moment we are running them on 722 wikis (which is 'all' by the count of about one and a half week ago). [[User:COIBot]] is watching these 722 wikis, and reports when a link is on its monitorlist (and those links are generally there when it is spammed, see the explanation on [[en:User:COIBot]]). On the english wikipedia we use a spamlink template for reporting external links, which directly links to a number of search engines, and to a number of reporting systems, including COIBot. Would the template be of interest here? --[[User:Beetstra|Beetstra]] 09:53, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
:A link to the template would be useful? Getting reporting a little more consistent on here would make our lives a little easier too - it is not always clear what the extent of the problem is (nor sometimes the exact site name). Thanks --[[User:Herbythyme|<font color="green">Herby</font>]] <b><sup><small><span style="color:#90F">[[User talk:Herbythyme|talk thyme]]</span></small></sup></b> 10:02, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
:: I created a version of that template here a few months ago: [[Template:Spamlink]]. It may need to be updated with the latest, greatest features - but it is here. --[[User:Versageek|Versageek]] 11:41, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

:I have updated the template to a more meta-like form. When you use '<nowiki>* {{spamlink|example.com}}</nowiki>' it displays the next line:

* {{spamlink|example.com}}

In order:
# First what is in the template,
# Linksearch for meta and the 5 big wikis (en, de, fr, en.wiktionary, fr.wiktionary, see [[Table of Wikimedia Projects by Size]]),
# 'LinkReport' is a report generated by an IRC bot by Betacommand, it is a save of a current linksearch on en.wikipedia.
# 'COIBot Linkreport' contains a summary of all use (by not-whitelisted users) on all 722 wikiprojects on [[Table of Wikimedia Projects by Size]], since the moment of blacklisting/monitoring (see [[en:User:COIBot]] for more info).
# Eagle's spam report search searches for reports on en.wikipedia spam archives, and here as well I think.
# interwiki link search: 20 and 57 search in resp. the 20 and 57 biggest wikis.
# LinkWatcher search searches in [[en:User:Shadow1]]'s database (only en at the moment, probably at some time also for more/all wikipedia).
# Wikipedia search searches for the existence of the page with the url name on en, de and fr.
# google search searches for info on the site on google.
# Veinors pages contain also link-addition information
# domaintools gives info on the domain
# AboutUs.org gives info on the domain
# Yahoo backlinks, search engine results.

I guess it contains pretty much all the tools needed to investigate the link, latest additions and current use. Hope this helps. --[[User:Beetstra|Beetstra]] 12:37, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

:Looks good - we'll see how it goes as it gets used. Given the nature of it I'll probably semi protect it I think - thanks --[[User:Herbythyme|<font color="green">Herby</font>]] <b><sup><small><span style="color:#90F">[[User talk:Herbythyme|talk thyme]]</span></small></sup></b> 12:43, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

::I think it is protected (or did you just do that?). --[[User:Beetstra|Beetstra]] 12:55, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
::By the way, to keep yourself more or less up to date, you can watchlist [[User:COIBot/LinkReports]], that gets updated when COIBot saves a report (about every 5 minutes). It may get you one step ahead of a spammer (though take care interpreting the report, COIBot sometimes picks up links by mistake). --[[User:Beetstra|Beetstra]] 13:02, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

:::Protection - yes (when I am around I am not generally slow!). As to watching (& for me) the honest answer at present is "no time" - I would consider myself pretty active on three wikis at least so I tend not be short of work. When I get time I will check it out and see what I can do - thanks for your work & regards --[[User:Herbythyme|<font color="green">Herby</font>]] <b><sup><small><span style="color:#90F">[[User talk:Herbythyme|talk thyme]]</span></small></sup></b> 13:20, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

The associated page is used by the MediaWiki Spam Blacklist extension, and lists regular expressions which cannot be used in URLs in any page in Wikimedia Foundation projects (as well as many external wikis). Any Meta administrator can edit the spam blacklist; either manually or with SBHandler. For more information on what the spam blacklist is for, and the processes used here, please see Spam blacklist/About.

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 respective Mediawiki talk:Spam-whitelist page 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 2024/06.

Projects
 SpBot archives all sections tagged with {{Section resolved|1=~~~~}} after 3 days and sections whose most recent comment is older than 7 days.

Proposed additions[edit]

Latest comment: 1 day ago38 comments7 people in discussion
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.

Cross-wiki gambling spam (m.o.: first add some legit link suggestions, then dump the payload). See sc. Wutsje (talk) 03:33, 6 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

I've changed this to just \blinebet because the official domain appears to have been spammed as well. - XXBlackburnXx (talk) 15:13, 6 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Proposed removals[edit]

Latest comment: 10 hours ago8 comments3 people in discussion
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 {{removed}} or {{declined}} and archived.

See also recurring requests for repeatedly proposed (and refused) removals.

Notes:

  • The addition or removal of a domain from the blacklist is not a vote; please do not bold the first words in statements.
  • This page is for the removal of domains from the global blacklist, not for removal of domains from the blacklists of individual wikis. For those requests please take your discussion to the pertinent wiki, where such requests would be made at Mediawiki talk:Spam-blacklist at that wiki. Search spamlists — remember to enter any relevant language code

Tracked in Phabricator:
Task T366985

I wanted to use this article from this newspaper for sourcing an article but was met with resistance. Why is this news publication blacklisted? Seems reliable to me, saw nothing fishy on the city and the article I wanted to refer to was well written, had no copyvio and a clear author. Estrellato (talk) 00:59, 1 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

You were able to link the site in your removal request (referring to "this article"), so it is not globally blacklisted. Please direct your request to the wiki you are having issues with. - XXBlackburnXx (talk) 01:23, 1 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
It's not in our local blacklist either (svwiki), but I couldn't link it. So I have no idea what the issue might be. I had to use it as a bookref instead (see sv:Ferrarito)Estrellato (talk) 07:16, 2 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
There is nothing in the local sbl and abuse filter logs either and I could add the link in my sandbox there. I suggest asking the local svwiki administrators about this with the exact error message. There is nothing we can do for you here. Count Count (talk) 10:32, 2 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

I tried to add it on svwiki using the visual editor, it said "This source is considered unreliable by our community, and therefore is not allowed. Please choose a different reliable source.". This could be the reason Estrellato couldn't save their edit. Though I don't know what is causing this. - XXBlackburnXx (talk) 22:07, 2 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
Apparently it comes from the "Reference Reliability check" from the Edit check project. It supposedly checks the MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist or MediaWiki:BlockedExternalDomains.json but obviously something is wrong with it. Count Count (talk) 05:15, 3 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

I filed a bug report on Phabricator: T366985. Marking as  Declined, as there is nothing further for us to do here. --Count Count (talk) 06:06, 8 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Troubleshooting and problems[edit]

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).
