Revision as of 08:17, 29 December 2014
- Proposed additions
- Please provide evidence of spamming on several wikis and prior blacklisting on at least one. 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.
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. |
best-ghostwriter.com and several other websites
There is a "bigger" Problem I expected. An IP added in the German Wikipedia some links to several sides:
best-ghostwriter.com
essay-schreiben.de
handyortung.co
whatsapphacken.de
bachelor-hilfe.com
All of these sides seems to be a fraud offer, some of these sides has the same "Thanks of other costumers" (including the same spelling mistakes). The I saw, that the IP 93.72.148.237 (talk · contribs) contributed several of these links to other Wikis. All of the links to the German Wikipedia are useless, I think the other links to .en, .es, etc. too. Please check this. (sorry for my bad english) --Schraubenbürschchen (talk) 08:12, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
Proposed additions (Bot reported)
|
|
This section is for domains which have been added to multiple wikis as observed by a bot.
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).
|
The LinkWatchers report domains meeting the following criteria:
- When a user mainly adds this link, and the link has not been used too much, and this user adds the link to more than 2 wikis
- When a user mainly adds links on one server, and links on the server have not been used too much, and this user adds the links to more than 2 wikis
- 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.

Proposed removals
|
|
This section is for proposing that a website be unlisted; please add new entries at the bottom of the section.
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:

cais-soas.com
cais-soas.com
I want to refer to the following link: www.cais-soas.com/News/2001/October2001/22-10.htm
This is for the page en:David_Neil_MacKenzie (the current link to the obituary is broken). I don't see the reason why this domain is blocked, as it seems to be an academic source of information. בוקי סריקי (talk) 09:04, 26 November 2014 (UTC)
- It seems to have been blocked following a request from enWP. @Dominic: do you have an opinion about the domain now with time having passed? — billinghurst sDrewth 11:24, 26 November 2014 (UTC)
This was blacklisted due to spamming in combination with copyright infringement reasons. The situation may have changed, but Talk:Spam_blacklist/Archives/2010-02#cais-soas.com <- this discussion from 2010 sums it up quite well. At that time, it was deemed of about the same quality as Wikipedia itself, it was not an academic source of information, their inclusion standards were far below what we would need for a reliable source (and that there was spamming involved in the additions only strengthens that conclusion).
Unless the situation on the site has drastically changed, I would leave it on the blacklist, and request whitelisting for the few really needed links, like this one. --Dirk Beetstra T C (en: U, T) 03:32, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
Two questions:
- Is this a copy of the original, or an independent report of the same info? If the former, is it properly attributed?
- Is a copy of the original available from one of the archiving sites?
Thanks. --Dirk Beetstra T C (en: U, T) 06:18, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
syriadirect.org
syriadirect.org
This site offers good independent information about the Syrian civil war and it doesn't contain spam or anything like that. Honestly, I don't even know why it was put on the list in the first place but I would like to see it on the green so people can use it as reference in their articles about this conflict.
- Seems to be collateral damage for a regex response to spam. We can probably do a lookbehind regex fix for this. — billinghurst sDrewth 09:01, 18 December 2014 (UTC)
fisheaters.com
fisheaters.com
This domain was blocked years ago, and I'm not sure that it was ever justified. There have been a number of discussions about it over the years, like this one or this one or this one. I think that the block is now not justifeied and the sites pages would be helpful to a number of wikipedia pages. Thanks. Evrik (talk) 15:29, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
- 'I'm not sure that it was ever justified' - in our Talk:Spam_blacklist/Recurring_requests#fisheaters.com I read 'It was thoroughly abused by its owner, represents a fringe POV, is anonymously run, has no documented editorial board or review procedure, and is in sundry ways not a reliable source. The domain offers no utility to offset the past problems.' (my bolding) - thoroughly abused is more than enough reason to get it on the blacklist. Seen it's history and the judgement given besides the abuse, I would suggest to get the needed documents locally whitelisted (note, he.wikipedia, nn.wikipedia, and he.wikibooks have this blanket whitelisted, and over those 3 wikis it is used 1 time; I do not find granted whitelist entries (one under discussion on en.wikipedia where a reply also mentions the relentless spamming) for specific documents on any other wiki) - I am not willing to delist this without the broader community showing that this has its utility through a signficant number of granted whitelisting requests. --Dirk Beetstra T C (en: U, T) 15:47, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
A couple of comments ...
- Thorougly abused? Unfortunately, the page w:User:JzG/Fisheaters no longer exists so could you please explain what the original conflict was about? The website is not anonymous, check out: www.fisheaters.com/abouttracy.html this page. I believe every request to be white listed has been turned down because of this general block. It's also bee blocked for more than seven years, so I don't understand the relentless spamming critiques. Here is one page I'd like whitelisted: fisheaters.com/saintsart.html Evrik (talk) 19:28, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
- There are a handful of deleted pages relating to this, including RfC's, userpages etc. There are also still existing threads on e.g. AN/I, talkpages, and on fisheaters itself. I have seen a subset (!) containing 50 edits by a user, site owner, adding the link at the very top of external links sections over a whole range of Catholicism-related subjects. Quote: 'No it is because the editor, <username redacted> owns that site, and adds them to almost any page possible. disambiguation pages, stubs etc. It seems the ranking in search engines is key for <their> plan to oppose the Vatican with <their> extremist traditional PoV.' .. (I am not pointing to usernames or anything personal here - there are some deleted pages there though the original edits are still visible and some pages are still available to read - I think that there is no need for near-outing etc.). Bottom line: it was relentlessly spammed.
- I see that it was a long time ago, and maybe the owner did step away from pushing their own site, and that we could 'let it free'. But seen the history, I would like individual wikis to discuss locally the use - as I show above, even individual wikis that have the site whitelisted do not use it, and wikis where I would find this to be typically of use have no whitelist rules regarding it at all - either there is no need as there is better stuff than this, or it is simply of no use. --Dirk Beetstra T C (en: U, T) 05:53, 23 December 2014 (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). |
SBHandler broken
SBHandler seems to be broken - both Glaisher and I had problems that it stops after the closing of the thread on this page, but before the actual blacklisting. Do we have someone knowledgeable who can look into why this does not work? --Dirk Beetstra T C (en: U, T) 04:08, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
User:Erwin - pinging you as the developer. --Dirk Beetstra T C (en: U, T) 04:16, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
- FYI when you created this section with the name "SBHandler", you prevented SBHandler from being loaded at all (see MediaWiki:Gadget-SBHandler.js "Guard against double inclusions"). Of course, changing the heading won't fix the original issue you mentioned. But at least it will load now. PiRSquared17 (talk) 15:30, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
- Another issue is that there's a bogus "undefined" edit summary when editing the SBL log. The customization of the script via our monobooks looks also broken. Thanks. — M 10:57, 06 December 2014 (UTC)
