Talk:Spam blacklist
- 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. 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 respectiveMediawiki talk:Spam-whitelistpage 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 2024/12.

Proposed additions
|
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. |

Comment There are a plethora of long term uses of this domain, so without further complaints/support from the community that the domain itself is problematic then I am not certain that it is meeting our criteria for addition. I don't see multiple additions to local blacklists to guide us. — billinghurst sDrewth 20:52, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
- Where is this "plethora of long term uses"? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 21:56, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
- Check the global search (gs in the template) — billinghurst sDrewth 00:47, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
- I did; 136 links is hardly "a plethora", especially when a significant number are on talk pages (warning people about spamming), user pages (including of users whose only contributions are spamming: "contact him for career guidance on... "); or COI/ spam and copyvio reporting pages. The remainder certainly do not justify allowing the kind of spamming evidenced above to continue. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 15:45, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
- Please read my comment in its entirety, not focus on the first phrase. I have not denied the request, I have expressed what is needed for the request to be completed. — billinghurst sDrewth 20:57, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
- I read your entire comment before replying to it. I have also read the guidance above ("Please provide evidence of spamming on several wikis"), and complied with it; and read Spam blacklist/About, where five questions follow the text "Before requesting blacklisting, please consider the following". The answer in all five cases is "no". Were there some other criteria to which you refer? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 21:53, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

Comment I am seeing trusted users adding the link, so I am not comfortable adding it. I will leave this open an extended period allowing for comment. — billinghurst sDrewth 10:34, 9 January 2024 (UTC)

- Comment From a search of existing links, I only saw one and that was added by ListeriaBot, so presumably it came from Wikidata reference. Ambivalent about listing _if_ the users are managed. Opinions sought. — billinghurst sDrewth 20:52, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

Buzzzedit spam links
Buzzzedit is a prolific Wikipedia user who does cross-wiki spamming (also see en:Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Dylaneft).Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Dylaneft]]. Probably their favourite link at the moment is:
canadatodolist.com
, added to frwiki, three times on enwiki (see link to sockpuppet investigations there), and on ptwiki
But I'd suggest putting everything I added to en:MediaWiki talk:Spam-blacklist/log/2024 on the global list too, because there's absolutely no way any of these sites could be useful for general referencing. Graham87 (talk) 13:43, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
- @Graham87: Added to Spam blacklist. -- — billinghurst sDrewth 02:16, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for the invitation Graham87, however, there is criteria--noted at the beginning of this page--about how admins should approach blacklist additions where added to one wiki. Noting though, there has developed a broader protocol/practice for url redirectors and both pure bot or gambling spam that is not directly reflected there, though is undertaken where we are seeing repeated/continuous spam.
We do not have the means to just assign/exclude per sisters--so adding domains for just wikipedias, or just to exclude wikivoyages--so automatically following the lead of a single wiki is not really within our scope.
If you have a summary of specific domains that should be added, happy to take that with short explanatory and a pointer to your list, and I/we can step through the recommendations. — billinghurst sDrewth 02:19, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks, I'll try to keep an eye on the other links and if they become a major cross-wiki problem I'll come back here. I didn't notice Spam blacklist/About last night. Graham87 (talk) 07:04, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

Proposed additions (Bot reported)
|
|
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).
|
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.

Proposed removals

This section is for proposing that a website be unlisted; please add new entries at the bottom of the section. Use a suitable 3rd level heading and display the domain name as per this example {{LinkSummary|targetdomain.com}}. Please do not add the protocol part of domain name, eg. http
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:

Troubleshooting and problems

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). |
