Talk:Spam blacklist
From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki
| ←Requests and proposals | Spam blacklist | Archives (current)→ |
The associated page is used by the MediaWiki Spam Blacklist 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 $wgSpamRegex. Only system administrators 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 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 (search) quickly. Additions and removals are logged.

[edit] 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. |

[edit] japanhero.webs.com
This is the second time I've seen this link show up on the English Wikipedia, and I have a feeling it is being used elsewhere, but the website seems to change depending on what the subject of the article is. Here's ultraqjapanhero.webs.com being added by two accounts (most definitely the same individual) [1] [2] at en:Ultra Q and here's ultrasevenjapanhero.webs.com [3] [4] being added to en:Ultra Seven. And here's an instance of kamenriderjapanhero.webs.com being added [5]. I don't know if perhaps the entirety of webs.com should be blacklisted, but the "japanhero.webs.com" series should be blacklisted based on the spamming that has happened.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 21:24, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

In looking into why CaesarStone was blacklisted, I see that it is on a list of companies blacklisted because of their association with the SEO company Seology. I want to be sure that it is clear that CaesarStone was unaware of Seology's spamming activities and has terminated their association with Seology. In addition, they have requested that Seology remove all references to CaesarStone from their website.
I believe there is benefit to clear CaesarStone from the blacklist. CaesarStone was the world’s first company to use quartz as the main component in its manufactured surfaces. They revolutionized engineered stone technology with the use of quartz to create a new surfacing material.
Historically there is value to seeing how this industry started, and how engineered stone surfaces have increased in popularity since their start in 1987.
Additionally, it is interesting to learn that CaesarStone is located on kibbutz Sdot Yam just south of the Israeli town of Caesarea. It is the main industry of the kibbutz, which was founded in 1936.
I think this combination of a successful industry on a historical kibbutz is of value to Wiki readers. I hope you agree. --DeenieGuss 05:29, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
- Archived discussion — Mike.lifeguard | @en.wb 02:24, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
I have seen these archived discussions which show why CaesarStone was originally blacklisted, and I understand and accept the reasoning, although it is not clear to me why Seology's client was blacklisted for Seology's actions. CaesarStone only became aware of the blacklisting last month when I contacted them about it. Once I contacted CaesarStone and explained to them why they have been unable to contribute to Wikipedia, they terminated their assocation with Seology. They took the further step of requesting that Seology remove any link or reference from the Seology website to CaesarStone. Is it necessary to continue to blacklist CaesarStone for the mistake of hiring an SEO company who conducted a spamming campaign without their knowledge or consent? Is there anything CaesarStone can do to convince you that there is cause to remove them from the blacklist? Thank you for your help. --DeenieGuss 06:55, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
- Why would it possibly matter whether it's the domain owner who spams the domain or not? If it's spammed, it's spammed, and we are allowed to curb abuse of our wikis no matter who is doing it. To consider removing the domain from the blacklist, we'll want to know how it is useful for our projects. — Mike.lifeguard | @en.wb 01:53, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Could you please remove it from this blacklist?

- The reason for the blacklisting can be found here.
- The website seems to be a blog. Links to blogs are generally not wanted in many Wikipedias. What makes this website uesful to our wikis? --Jorunn 12:22, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for answer. Indeed, it's a blog based/structured resource which contains lots of information about Android-powered devices in russian: news, articles, reviews and so on... The matter is that there are less such resources in russian internet and that is why i think it may be sometimes helpful additional on some wiki pages. For example, russian page http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android contains no any links on russian recources. Content of android-phones.ru (btw this site was first or second resource about Android topic in russian internet) is carefully updated on regular basis, so i think it may be called as "Android in Russia" or in different way. I admit that i added this link on some wiki pages one by one in order until it was blocked just because of I did not know why it was hidden after each publication, approximately on the next day but now i know why :) Anyway, i would like to sort out that issue.--0xDEFACE 14:43, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

At the Dutch Wikipedia, we had a link to this site, but this was deleted by user Mardetanha (because of this latest action; see this link for the deletion at nl.wikip). I got a complain today from one of our users, but I'm only sysop at the Dutch Wikipedia, so I cannot delete it from this blacklist. The link to this website is wanted (site with much information about this subject) at the Dutch Wikipedia so it should not be at this spam blacklist. - Lolsimon 19:49, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
- I've replied to the concerns at my talk page on the English Wikipedia. See here. --Kanonkas 20:16, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
- I think the discussion can better be here. The website is wanted at the Dutch Wikipedia, so should not be at the blacklist (the website is maybe not official, but has much information). It's a shame there is spammed with this website, but there are also many spams with google.com... As it is a usefull website, it should be removed from the blacklist. The spamming can stop by blocks or local blacklists, not via this blacklist I think. - Lolsimon 20:34, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
- If you believe it's useful for the Dutch wiki, you can use the local spam whitelist (MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist) on nl.wiki. When you've whitelisted the link, you can use the external link again on nl.wiki. --Kanonkas 20:50, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

- Indeed. Fighting cross wiki link spam (which this clearly was) by blocks or local blacklists is highly impractical and would make monitoring hundreds of small wikis almost impossible as far as link spam is concerned. If the link is wanted on nl:wiki only, it should be whitelisted there. Wutsje 20:56, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
- On it.wiki I rollbacked a broad spam into many articles, including deep linking. --M/ 20:59, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
- I saw it was spammed many times in many wiki's, so it is added to the blacklist very rightly. As we want one link at the subject article, I'll place it on the local whitelist. Thanks for your responses, Lolsimon 22:53, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

What the hell? Why is tinypic.com on the blacklist? It is not a URL redirector as was falsely claimed, it is more like a pastebin, but for uploading images (or like a traditional image hosting site such as flickr or photobucket but not requiring a log-in). It does not do any redirecting. I routinely use it to quickly upload screenshots and such to explain visual display problems more effectively than I could with words. — CharlotteWebb 14:36, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
- I also came here wondering that. The addition request just say URL redirector. Thus it seems reasonable to remove it. Moving section to removals Platonides 23:14, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
- Sorry, I should have noted that it's not in fact a URL redirector. It is however widely abused, which is the actual reason it's been added. That the comment was wrong is actually not a good reason to remove it; how does it help the projects? To be fair, most abuse is vandalism, and gets quickly reverted. — Mike.lifeguard | @en.wb 01:59, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
- How has it more abusable than any other image storage site? The random file-name is irrelevant as file-names are not a reliable predictor of image content in the first place (surely you realize this already, being an admin on commons?). — CharlotteWebb 09:20, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
- It's not more abusable than other such sites. It's more abused than other such sites. Of course how they name files is irrelevant - did anyone suggest otherwise? To proceed with this in some sensible manner, could you please let us know how links to this domain helps our projects? — Mike.lifeguard | @en.wb 11:25, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

I use it to upload WP screen-shots and such (to link to them in a discussion and say "this is how it looks on my screen", etc.) which are unsuitable for commons, having no long-term encyclopedic use. I particularly like this site as I have no password to remember or forget. Sure I could use a different site for this purpose, but then so could anyone else for any other purpose. — CharlotteWebb 01:08, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

I just tried to link to a book review on Amazon and couldn't save because it's on the spamlist. Could someone remove it, please? It's very useful to be able to link to the reviews they publish—the professional ones, not the readers' comments. SlimVirgin (talk) 19:26, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
- Hi SlimVirgin. Can you please give us a link to the site? Thank you, --Kanonkas 23:47, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
- Well, that's a little more difficult to do when it's blacklisted.

[edit] 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). |

[edit] New COIBot functionality
Our IRC spam fighters are aware that the linkwatchers also try to detect local questionable link-additions (the local variety of the cross-wiki reports in User:COIBot/XWiki. I have now extended the functionality to local reports, which are categorised in Category:COIBot Local Reports. They have their own LinkStatus template, {{LinkStatusLocal|wiki|status}} (wiki is the full wikidomain, status is the same as the normal status). In the end there will be a full tree of categories of localised reports, for some examples:
- Category:COIBot Local Reports
- Category:Open Local reports
- Category:COIBot Local Reports for en.wikipedia.org
- Category:Open Local reports for en.wikipedia.org
