Revision as of 22:24, 3 May 2020
- 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 2024/07.

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. |
altervista.org
altervista.org
apart from being a free hosting site with no explicit guarantee about the reliability of its content (which makes it unsuitable as source according to wikipedia's standards), the biggest problem is that this site is largely linked and a lot of sites hosted here are spam and dens of malicious software. -- Blackcat (talk) 11:50, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
- This website has 24,652 additions on dozens of projects, and not many are spam. I don't think any global action is warranted at this time, however it is a free hosting site. Pinging Billinghurst for their opinion. Best regards, Vermont (talk) 21:45, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
- I would think that it would be a very bold decision to blacklist altervista.org without seeking the broad consensus of the community. Please look at the criteria at the top of the page to even start a conversation for a global block. I would think that this should be a conversation to whichever wiki you see that the link addition is problematic. I don't see an abuse filter at enWP that even restricts its use. — billinghurst sDrewth 14:20, 24 April 2020 (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).

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

paris-hilton
Hi! Is this record still actual? I'm asking because this regex blocks 17 existing links in ruwiki, details can be found here. It can be that blocking FirstName-LastName in any external link is not longer a good idea. Track13 0_o
- @Track13: I believe that this rule is regarding the domainname, not when it is used in the latter part of the url: http://people.com/celebrity/paris-hilton-says-boyfriend-chris-zylka-has-cutest-smile/ might just be possible. --Dirk Beetstra T C (en: U, T) 13:58, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
- @Track13: http://www.paris-hilton.com is not: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Log?type=spamblacklist&user=Beetstra&page=&wpdate=&tagfilter=&wpfilters%5B%5D=newusers. --Dirk Beetstra T C (en: U, T) 14:02, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
- Oh, it's my fault, I didn't double check results. Thank you Dirk Beetstra Track13 0_o 15:40, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
Comment I can say that I have played with this at various times, so this is experience related, not knowledge of the code. It is a little quirky with how it works, however for the string alone, per your example, that needs to be a tie to the base domain name associated with a protocol. There is a bit of an exemption that I will throw in, that when it is part of a redirecting url, ie.
http://domain.com/<interveningstring>http://blacklisteddomain.comthen it also will get caught. It appears to reset for the protocol component appearing later in the string, so it is not base domain alone. Noting that if we blocked
.com/paris-hiltonthat would block as base domain as TLD exists. I have utilised this latter form against some of our very repetitive spambots.
To the example itself, one wonders whether we need the string any more, the spammers have and porn being advertised no longer focuses on Paris. — billinghurst sDrewth 00:16, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
AliExpress

Hello! I tried to create an article about AliExpress on Slovenian Wikipedia. It is the same as in English Wikipedia, but when I tried to save it (on Slovenian Wikipedia), it said that is on a Spam blacklist, and to report it here. Can you please help me? Thank you — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mitjas1 (talk)
- @Mitjas1: We won't be removing it from the spam blacklist based on a single request. You will need to coordinate with local administrators at slWP and see if they are willing to whitelist the domain, or a specific url to allow you to add the url. I would suggest that you seek help at their administrator noticeboard or equivalent. — billinghurst sDrewth 00:22, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
- @Billinghurst: Thank you. I will try that. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mitjas1 (talk)

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). |
Discussion

This section is for discussion of Spam blacklist issues among other users. |
