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 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 2024/05.

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. |
dtf.ru
dtf.ru
Possible irreliable source, wiki website or blog. Anyone can add his own post and edit it. Globally (in all wikis) invalidate is requested. HanzoHanzo (talk) 11:27, 19 October 2018 (UTC)
Comment There is allowed use at some wikis, and it is not banned at any wikis. — billinghurst sDrewth 21:51, 19 October 2018 (UTC)

tadamun.info
Can this be added: tadamun.info - because a yellow and blue, colorful link at the bottom of this page leads to porn.

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).
|
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 propo sed (and refused) removals. Notes:

I tried adding this and found it was blacklisted here. It seems that someone with a COI to that site and others was spamming it on articles cross wiki. As far as I can tell the editor has not been here for quite a long time (see here, this and Talk:Spam blacklist/Archives/2011-02). Was wondering if it could be removed. Not sure about the other websites that were blacklisted at the same time as I have not explored them. Aircorn (talk) 06:28, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
- @Aircorn: it was being spammed in 2011. A removal needs more than "I want to add it", it usually needs firm reasoning about why it is usable at the sites. You can always ask about whitelisting at w:en:mediawiki talk:spam-whitelist — billinghurst sDrewth 09:32, 9 August 2018 (UTC)
- It is quite hard to find sites that explain genetic engineering and are user friendly. It would make my editing life a little bit easier if I could use it as a reference, but it is not a site I would regularly use as there are much better (although less accessable) resources out there. I figured that since it was (as far as I could tell) only blacklisted due to spamming a long time ago then it would be relatively easy to unblacklist once that was no longer an issue. I will look at whitelisting if I really need it. Thanks for the response. Aircorn (talk) 09:44, 9 August 2018 (UTC)
youtu.be
youtu.be
The all inclusive *.be filter is blocking YouTube short links (youtu.be) from being used. This also includes wikis not in the Wikipedia network. I am asking that youtu.be itself be allowed while still filtering the rest of *.be. Thank you. Alexia E. Smith (talk) 19:05, 11 October 2018 (UTC)
- Additional information: This affects over 2,000 wikis and would require manually editing every MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist on those wikis along with continual new wikis to maintain this exception. Trying to explain to non-technical users on how to transform the shortened URL into the full URL every instance this issue comes up is time consuming especially when it is the preferred URL presented to end users by the YouTube service when requesting a sharing URL. I see that in the past this request has been denied multiple times with those proposing it bringing up the same issue; attempting to get non-technical users to transform the URL. This spam blacklist affects not just Wikimedia projects, but thousands of external projects as well. The argument of blacklisting certain videos on YouTube can be solved by expanding the regex to also include (youtu\.be|youtube\com) in the regex. Alexia E. Smith (talk) 15:52, 12 October 2018 (UTC)
- @Alexia E. Smith: It is not a .be rule, this is a specific youtu.be-rule. That rule is added for a reason.
- Although I agree that the regexes could be expanded, that same story as your initial story applies - that needs to be clear to the maintainers for all wikis (at least within the MediaWiki realm). There is still a significant amount of material on youtube that simply should not be added for copyright reasons (and that often tends to be the material that is linked, much of the material where there is no copyright concern simply never will get linked as it is not applicable to Wikipedia), or is otherwise discouraged to be linked here.
- I don't think that anything outside of the 800+ MediaWiki wikis is going to be a direct reason for us to remove rules. One could consider to expand in the installation documentation or in the example-whitelist of the installation to specifically whitelist domains when used on external installations. --Dirk Beetstra T C (en: U, T) 12:45, 13 October 2018 (UTC)
- @Alexia E. Smith: sorry, broke the ping. --Dirk Beetstra T C (en: U, T) 13:01, 13 October 2018 (UTC)
- @Beetstra: (Ping doesn't seem to ping me anyway.) If Extension:SpamBlacklist had a simple way to set a setting to globally whitelist a domain this would not be an issue. For me to whitelist this domain I will need to automate a solution to whitelist it on 2,126 wikis and also apply that to any new wikis that are created on a daily basis. The other solution would be to fork Extension:SpamBlacklist to have a setting that would allow a PHP setting based whitelist. However, I am trying to avoid forking the MediaWiki core more than necessary. I figured it was better to appeal here than to go with the less desirable options first. Alexia E.
