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.

This is a 25-year-old information and news (see /news) site that employs full-time journalists and is often the first UK publication to report major acquisitions and company insolvencies. It is unfairly included on the global spam list because it contains the forbidden '-sale' in the domain.

It appears that the entire .xyz top level domain is blocked. There is absolutely no valid reason for blacklisting an entire generic top level domain. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Zipdox (talk) 13:29, 15 June 2022 (UTC)

\bxyz\bwas added to en:MediaWiki:Spam blacklist by Beestra with this edit. Please handle this problem there as Meta has no authority over local projects. NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh 14:29, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
- The .xyz TLD is very liberally handed out and has been a spam issue. Specific links can be whitelisted locally.

This blacklist entry is getting in our way at English Wiktionary (wikt:Wiktionary:Grease_pit/2022/June#Whitelist_the_Twitter_search_page), and while we could locally whitelist it, it seems prudent to question why it is on the global blacklist at all. As the IP said at that discussion, "I don't even see how the Twitter search page is any more abusable by spammers than linking to Twitter accounts or individual Tweets."

- So essentially the rationale was that these URLs were used by spambots to the extent that it was felt necessary to blacklist it? It's not entirely clear who the OP is in that discussion, but I'm assuming it was @Billinghurst:, who is now (sadly but understandably) inactive.

- This has now been whitelisted on the English Wiktionary, which may provide a good test of whether spammers actually spam it, a data point for deciding whether to unblacklist it more generally. -sche (talk) 15:46, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

Looks like a false positive to me. A christian site with lots of useful medieval illuminated manuscript pages (one has been uploaded today, that's why I stumbled upon it). User:COIBot/XWiki/shnorhali.com doesn't convince me. But maybe I didn't notice anything. Cheers, --Achim55 (talk) 20:13, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
- @MarcoAurelio might want to take a look at this. @Achim55I wonder is there a possibility of local whitelisting on commons? Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 06:53, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
- Yes, of course I could whitelist it. I thought it'd be better globally if it's indeed a false positive. Best, Achim55 (talk) 07:50, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
- @Camouflaged Mirage: Thanks for the ping. I'd like to hear from @Beetstra though. All links added where reverted/removed back then and none remains in the major wikis as of today. As this happened in 2019 I am not opposed to delisting if it is useful though. Thanks, —MarcoAurelio (talk) 10:06, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
- Yes, of course I could whitelist it. I thought it'd be better globally if it's indeed a false positive. Best, Achim55 (talk) 07:50, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
- This says it all. Personal website of the spammer (as also seen from the username of a spamming user whose accountname is similar to the name of the copyright holder of the website), adding it to multiple wikis. I am unsure of the authority of the person, and not sure what linking adds to already elaborate, well referenced wikipedia articles. Not spam in a commercial way perhaps, but spammed nonetheless.

This is the new domain of the old "Forensicswiki.org", a well known and legitimate digital forensics resource. I just ran into this while trying to update a (now dead) link to the old domain on the Digital_Forensics_XML entry (which got blocked due to the blacklisting). --User:Jkft27mc
- Hello @Jkft27mc:. The domain is not blacklisted on the Meta-Wiki list. However, the English Wikipedia has on its local blacklist (MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist) a full ban on every
.xyzdomain. If you attempted to add the link over there, I suggest you lodge a local whitelisting request at MediaWiki talk:Spam-whitelist for that specific domain and enwiki admins will review it. Best regards, —MarcoAurelio (talk) 10:10, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
@MarcoAurelio: Thanks, I didn't know that. I just made a request over there! Jkft27mc (talk) 18:46, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
