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.
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 2018/04. |

Proposed additions[edit]
 |
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. |
Couple of recent Commons spam links[edit]
While I found these Commons from the link summaries I see evidence of persistent spamming on the ecosia one. The bestinfo4health is simply unnecessary and has been spammed. Thoughts/actions welcome. Thanks --Herby talk thyme 11:34, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
ecosia.zendesk.com
bestinfo4health.com
separately blacklisted one. blacklisted the second individually, whereas the ecosia.zendesk domain is currently used elsewhere. maybe blacklist it locally at Commons? — billinghurst sDrewth 01:53, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
firebaseapp.com[edit]
firebaseapp.com
Seeing some abuse of subdomains of firebaseapp.com by spambots. On reviewing the additions in general it would appear that all links have been removed, even where they are not spambot additions. It would seem that the wikipedia communities are not considering this an authoritative link. We can manage this through the spamblacklist, or we can look to manage it with an abuse filter. What do the community think is fairest? — billinghurst sDrewth 01:44, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

Proposed additions (Bot reported)[edit]
|
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[edit]
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.

Completed requests will be marked as {{removed}} or {{declined}} and archived. See also /recurring requests for repeatedly propo sed (and refused) removals. Notes:

eltoro.com for their Wikipedia page[edit]
eltoro.com
Hello, i have tried to add website url of El Toro to the their Wikipedia page located at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Toro_(IP_targeting_provider). It showing an error, that's why i came here. I'd like to add this eltoro.com as a official website in the infobox. Is there anything you can help? 202.136.88.29 
no global block on the domain. The domain looks to be locally blacklisted at Commons and English Wikipedia. Any action needs to be addressed directly to each wiki. — billinghurst sDrewth 08:40, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
Closed — billinghurst sDrewth 08:40, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
Troubleshooting and problems[edit]
|
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[edit]

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