Community Wishlist Survey 2023/Citations/Warn when adding a url reference that matches the SpamBlacklist/Proposal
Appearance
- Problem: When you want to add a reference from the automatic option (to a Wikipedia article via Visual Editor), the user does not know if this url is registered in the SpamBlacklist before saving.
- Proposed solution: Warn when the url added as reference is registered in the SpamBlacklist, and thus prevent the warning from appearing when saving the page. This option is ideal for warning if a website added to a Wikipedia article is tagged as SPAM (even if that SPAM is from an unreliable source).
- Who would benefit: Visual Editor users
- More comments: The warning that the website to be referenced saves time, usually appears as an orange text warning (with the same way when show error that the url does not exist appears with the red text). Therefore, this warn text (maybe placed below the previewed reference) is not intrusive.
