A local whitelist is part of the spam blacklist extention. Each wiki using mediawiki software has a local whitelist. Only administrators of that wiki can modify the whitelist page. If you are a user who wants a link added to the whitelist of a particular wiki, you should post a request on the talk page of the spam whitelist page. If the wiki is small, it might also be a good idea to notify an admin, (use the community noticeboard, or village pump).

[edit] Finding it

The page for the whitelist can be found at http://xxxx.yyyy.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist , where xxxx is the wiki's language code, and yyyy is the type of wiki (wikipedia, wikibooks, wikinews, wikisource, wikitionary, etc). To clarify the basic format is http://YOURWIKI/wiki/MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist .
