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 additionsEdit
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. |

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).
|
COIBotEdit
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.

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 proposed (and refused) removals. Notes:

Is it really blacklisted accross whole of Wikimedia or is this just for Meta-Wiki? Because it keeps being spammed on Serbo-Croatian Wikipedia (for a very long time) and I thought to propose blocking it, but apparently it is already here. -Vipz (talk) 13:07, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
- Hello @Vipz: that domain is globally blacklisted so it should not be possible to link to it. Do you have a diff showing a recent addition in your wiki to investigate further? Thanks, —MarcoAurelio (talk) 15:53, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
- @MarcoAurelio: Here is a recent one: sh:Special:Diff/41419454; I believe one is enough as evidence, as it is impossible to dig through thousands of vandalisms to find more of those that happened in the past. -Vipz (talk) 16:01, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
- @Vipz: Thanks. Unfortunately SpamBlacklist does not stop adding non-linked external links. As you can see in the diff, this is being posted without the http:// or https:// protocol so MediaWiki does not know that is an external link that needs to be blocked. In this case you'd need to create a local AbuseFilter to prevent even plain text links from being added. If your wiki does not have administrators that know how to create such a filter, you may ask any Abuse filter maintainer (cc: @Billinghurst) or steward at SRM to set up one for you. Best regards, —MarcoAurelio (talk) 16:11, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
- Hey @Billinghurst, can you set one up on Serbo-Croatian Wikipedia for:

encyclopediasupreme.org
- I've never set or seen one set up, so seeing it in action will be helpful. Thank you so much in advance. -Vipz (talk) 15:41, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
- @Vipz: your fellow admin OC Ripper is active and has footprints across your abuse filters. Maybe start with them as there could be existing filters that can be modified without the writing of a new one. — billinghurst sDrewth 10:19, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
- @Billinghurst: can you, kindly please, help me out instead of OC Ripper? They're not as active as you think. I just want some guidance in how to create these abuse filters myself if it doesn't take a lot of time. -Vipz (talk) 20:55, 13 March 2023 (UTC)

It is impossible to save the created article, it interferes and does not skip. -Граф Рауль Валуа (talk) 12:13, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
- Declined @Граф Рауль Валуа this is a ruwiki issue, geni.com is not globally blacklisted. Please discuss at ru:Википедия:Изменение спам-листа#geni.com --Johannnes89 (talk) 14:15, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
