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. |

Request to Whitelist Thunder Laser Website (thunderlaser.com)
thunderlaser.com
Hello, I am writing to request the removal of the domain thunderlaser.com from the global spam blacklist. This website offers valuable information highly relevant to several Wikipedia articles concerning laser cutting technology and equipment. Blacklisted Domain: Domain: thunderlaser.com Relevant Wikipedia Articles: The following Wikipedia articles would benefit significantly from the inclusion of links to Thunder Laser's content: [Cutting] - Detailed information on RF laser tubes, which are essential components in high-precision laser cutting, is available on Thunder Laser’s website. This would enhance the technical accuracy of the article. [Laser] - Thunder Laser provides insights into the advantages and applications of galvo lasers, contributing valuable details to the article. [Laser] - The website offers specific data on CO2 laser technology, which is relevant to this article's content on laser cutting applications. Reasons for Whitelisting: Educational and Technical Value: Thunder Laser’s website provides in-depth, technically accurate content that is directly relevant to the topics discussed in the aforementioned articles. The website includes detailed descriptions, technical specifications, and application guidelines for various laser technologies, which would substantially enhance the quality and comprehensiveness of these Wikipedia entries. Reliable Source: Thunder Laser is a well-established company within the laser technology industry. Their site is regularly updated with precise information, making it a credible and authoritative source for citations in technical articles. Content Contribution: Allowing citations from Thunder Laser's website would significantly improve the verifiability and richness of technical information in Wikipedia articles related to laser cutting, CO2 lasers, and galvo lasers. The site provides practical examples and explanations that would otherwise be difficult to source from more generic publications. Previous Issues: If this domain was blacklisted due to past issues such as spamming, I propose that the link's use be limited to relevant technical articles where it adds significant educational value. I am committed to ensuring that the link is used responsibly, adhering strictly to Wikipedia’s guidelines on reliable sourcing and verifiability. Conclusion: I respectfully request that thunderlaser.com be removed from the global spam blacklist or whitelisted for specific technical articles. This would enable Wikipedia editors to utilize the valuable information provided by Thunder Laser, thereby improving the accuracy and depth of content on laser technology. Thank you for your consideration. I am happy to provide any further information or clarification needed to support this request. Best regards, Linus Leo LinusLea (talk) 07:38, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
Declined this took part of the "investmoney.com"-spamming campaign, which took us (mostly Billinghurst) hours to clean up, as per above "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..
