Talk:Spam blacklist

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki
(Redirected from SBL)
Shortcut:
WM:SPAM
SBL
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. Reports can also be submitted through SBRequest.js. 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 respective Mediawiki talk:Spam-whitelist page 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 2026/04.

SpBot archives all sections tagged with {{Section resolved|1=~~~~}} after 1 day and sections whose most recent comment is older than 7 days.

Cross-wiki spam, each spammed by one user and one TA. Fairly sure this is our friend the Indonesian gambling farm again. lp0 on fire () 07:35, 15 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

Extensive but subtle cross-wiki spam, consisting mostly of single-edit accounts expanding football bio stubs in many languages. A lot of these should probably be coverd by a broad regex like (bet|win)[0-9]*\.in\.net\b instead of being addded individually lp0 on fire () 08:37, 15 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

Adding these individually. Will consider a pattern if more comes up later. NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh 21:15, 16 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

Casino spam. Extensive cross-wiki abuse. Actually, we also have



so probably worth blacklisting refpa???.com (will leave regex to someone competent). Harry Mitchell (talk) 20:55, 17 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

Borderline because it's only two wikis but I was going to blacklist it on enwiki anyway. Spammed by Thai TAs spoofing other gambling sites. Harry Mitchell (talk) 15:32, 20 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

Request for removal of oneupnetworks.com

[edit]

The domain oneupnetworks.com is currently listed on the spam blacklist (\boneupnetworks\.com\b).

I understand it may have been added due to inappropriate or promotional use in the past. I will not use this domain for promotional purposes on Wikipedia.

I request a review of the domain for possible removal from the blacklist.

Thank you. At951380 (talk) 12:02, 21 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

Not done I don't see a need for unlisting. We only consider requests by trusted authors. Including this one, your account has 3 global edits. Excuse me but I reject your request. NDG (talk) 12:07, 21 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
