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 2024/11.

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. |

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:

omm.guru
[edit]omm.guru
I was trying to add source as above site but it showed black listed. I publish only high quality articles like :https://omm.guru/kumbh-mela-2024-25/ Pls visit link and than judge. I am not spammer I write only high quality content on omm.guru about hindu religion.
- Declined 1) we do not remove domains from the spam blacklist in response to site-owners' requests 2) this domain is not on the global blacklist. XXBlackburnXx (talk) 03:16, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
placidway.com
[edit]placidway.com
PlacidWay.com is a trusted resource offering educational information on medical treatments and global healthcare options. It provides reliable, non-promotional content that aligns with Wikipedia’s goal of delivering verifiable information to users. Articles on medical tourism and treatment options abroad could greatly benefit from this resource, enhancing their depth and accuracy.
I kindly request the removal of placidway.com from the blacklist to allow its use in relevant, evidence-based articles. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Anasjk (talk)
dox.cz
[edit]dox.cz
dox.cz was added in this revision per Doxbin case, while dox.cz is not related to Doxbin. It is the website of a well-known Czech art gallery and a trusted source, which could be used in references of art biography articles in various language mutations. For example: en:Liu Xia (poet), en:Nicola Samori, de:Volker März, en:Mat Collishaw, de:Wolfgang Pavlik, en:Pillar of Shame, en:Jens Galschiøt, etc. --Juandev (talk) 19:41, 27 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Juandev: I’ve added a negative assertion to that regex. It should work in a few minutes from now (usually 10-20 minutes). XXBlackburnXx (talk) 19:59, 27 November 2024 (UTC)
- A quick look at the other extensions makes it seem like this pattern might be too broad. It'll need some more digging, but that's something for tomorrow me to figure out. XXBlackburnXx (talk) 20:22, 27 November 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). |
