    Spam blacklists
    Shortcuts

    The Spam-whitelist page is used in conjunction with the Mediawiki SpamBlacklist extension, and lists strings of text that override Meta's blacklist and the local spam-blacklist. Any administrator can edit the spam whitelist. Please post comments to the appropriate section below: Proposed additions (web pages to unblock), Proposed removals (sites to reblock), or Troubleshooting and problems; read the messageboxes at the top of each section for an explanation. See also MediaWiki talk:Spam-blacklist.

    Please enter your requests at the bottom of the Proposed additions to Whitelist section and not at the very bottom of the page. Sign your requests with four tildes: ~~~~

    Also in your request, please include the following:

    1. The link that you want whitelisted in the section title, like === example.com/help/index.php === .
    2. The Wikipedia page on which you want to use the link
    3. An explanation why it would be useful to the encyclopedia article proper
    4. If the site you're requesting is listed at /Common requests, please include confirmation that you have read the reason why requests regarding the site are commonly denied and that you still desire to proceed with your request

    Important: You must provide a full link to the specific web page you want to be whitelisted (leave out the http:// from the front; otherwise you will not be able to save your edit to this page). Requests quoting only a domain (i.e. ending in .com or similar with nothing after the / character) are likely to be denied. If you wish to have a site fully unblocked please visit the relevant section of MediaWiki talk:Spam-blacklist.

    Note: Do not request links to be whitelisted where you can reasonably suspect that the material you want to link to is in violation of copyright (see WP:LINKVIO). Such requests will likely be summarily rejected.

    There is no automated notification system in place for the results of requests, and you will not be notified when your request has a response. You should therefore add this page to your personal watch list, to your notifications through the subscribe feature, or check back here every few days to see if there is any progress on it; in particular, you should check whether administrators have raised any additional queries or expressed any concerns about the request, as failure to reply to these promptly will generally result in the request being denied.

    Completed requests are archived, additions and removal are logged. →snippet for logging: {{/request|1045832603#section_name}}

    Note that requests from new or unregistered users are not usually considered.

    Admins: Use seth's tool to search the spamlists.

    If you have a source that you would like to add to the spam-whitelist, but you are uncertain that it meets Wikipedia's guideline on reliability, please ask for opinions on the Reliable sources noticeboard, to confirm that it does meet that guideline, before submitting your whitelisting request here. In your request, link to the confirming discussion on that noticeboard.

    Likewise, if you have an external link that you are uncertain meets Wikipedia's guideline on external links, please get confirmation on the External links noticeboard before submitting your whitelisting request here.

    If your whitelist request falls under one of these two categories, the admins will be more willing to have the source whitelisted if you can achieve consensus at one of the above noticeboards.

    Proposed additions to Whitelist (web pages to unblock)


    Request to whitelist parimatch.com

    Hey, I ask to unblock website: parimatch.com - to add it to the Parimatch page as it's blocked. The wikipedia exception rule says, that "Where a site is blacklisted because of the content that is normally on it, or because of past behavior of editors linking to the site, but the site does have a wikipedia page where it normally would qualify as the official site (per WP:ELOFFICIAL), then an exception can be made." [[1]]. That is why I ask to whitelist to add it to the page about Parimatch, as the current link on Parimatch page (parimatch.tech) concerns the other entinty, not the Parimatch. --KokoLubat (talk) 15:18, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    @KokoLubat: what is ‘the other entity’? Dirk Beetstra T C 18:51, 10 September 2021 (UTC)][reply]
    @Dirk Beetstr: I mena, the other entity is not Parimatch betting company, but some other company related to Parimatch parent company. I thinks it deals with technical details and franchise, betting software and so on. So, it's another company and the link doesn't connect the article Parimatch to it's official web-page. So I ask to fix this problem. --KokoLubat (talk) 13:49, 20 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    @KokoLubat: in that case, per MediaWiki talk:Spam-whitelist/Common_requests#The_official_homepage_of_the_subject_of_a_page, we would need an about-page or a full url (including an index.htm) of the index page. Can you please provide a suitable link? --Dirk Beetstra T C 17:23, 20 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    @Beetstra: yes, sure, here is about link: Link requested to be whitelisted: parimatch.in/en/about_company --KokoLubat (talk) 17:22, 22 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    Request to whitelist pages from filesusr.com for American Samoa

    I was referred here from MediaWiki_talk:Spam-blacklist#filesusr.com (removing).

    This site was blocked because it's user-uploaded content. As you can see from [2], the government of American Samoa is using it to publish official documents, so I'm having difficulty adding citations to those.

    Request to add PoolGenie to whitelist

    poolgenie.xyz: Linksearch en (insource) - meta - de - fr - simple - wikt:en - wikt:fr • Spamcheck • MER-C X-wiki • gs • Reports: Links on en - COIBot - COIBot-Local • Discussions: tracked - advanced - RSN • COIBot-Link, Local, & XWiki Reports - Wikipedia: en - fr - de • Google: search • meta • Domain: domaintools • AboutUs.com

    I was trying to add sources to paragraphs I added in Decentralized Finance, blockchain and market maker from the docs.poolgenie.xyz.

    The website was however rejected because of the ".xyz" extension that is blacklisted by Wikipedia.

    The paragraphs I want to add in the before-mentioned Wikipedia pages are partly composed of important information extracted from the docs.poolgenie.xyz that provides articles about Decentralized Finance new topics and explains some major concepts related to cryptocurrency and blockchains, specifically to yield farming, liquidity providing, automated market makers and decentralized finance.

    The information provided is relevant and should be added to the mentioned Wikipedia articles to keep them updated since Decentralized Finance is a new hot topic and the docs.poolgenie.xyz explains in detail many of its major ideas such as impermanent loss, a very important concept in Decentralized Finance, for which I plan on creating a Wikipedia Page about, using information extracted from the docs.poolgenie.xyz.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Kran9910 (talk • contribs)

    Request to add Inductee pages from a hall of fame website to whitelist

    • Link requested to be whitelisted: 74328ef4-a8ac-4a81-a582-15f963d07594.filesusr.com/ugd/

    I was fixing broken links in an article Denny Flynn and came upon an honor for the subject, the Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame, which has three PDF links as shown above. Of course, when I selected one and tried to save the article, these links were blocked. Obviously, this hall of fame is a valid website: See [3] and [4]. This is the first time I have been blocked like this saving an article where it was a valid website. Others I have seen it happen the website was legitimately blocked. Anyway, there are a number of athletes in the hall of fame who have articles so I recommend allowing these three inductee pages being allowed. I hope I included everything. Thanks! dawnleelynn(talk) 21:25, 11 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    @Dawnleelynn: plus Added to MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist. --Dirk Beetstra T C 04:19, 13 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    Beetstra Thank you for adding these links. But also thank you for adding the bits I missed in the request. I see how this works now. dawnleelynn(talk) 15:47, 13 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    Request to add Capital Football New Zealand season yearbooks to whitelist

    There are two pages filled of PDF scans of Capital Football season reviews which how all the stats and information on that seasons results. They have previously been used as a source and will be needed in future as well so be good if all of them could somehow be whitelisted, thank you.— NZFC(talk)(cont) 01:59, 13 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    wowsurigao.com

    Referred here from MediaWiki talk:Spam-blacklist#wowsurigao.com

    This was black-listed over 10 years ago because it was consistently added as spam, not as a valid reference, which I want to do now. While a sponsored/commercial website is not preferred as a source, its content is not automatically unreliable. In this case, it involves uncontroversial info, rather matter-of-fact historical and geographical info that I can't seem to source elsewhere. Moreover, these pages have sources indicated at the bottom as well, making them a secondary source. Thanks. -- P 1 9 9  ✉ 15:44, 15 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    @P199: plus Added to MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist. I think this is a suitable step up to delisting in the future. --Dirk Beetstra T C 16:09, 15 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    Requesting to Whitelist Dubai Cosmetic Surgery

    Link requested to be whitelisted: dubaicosmeticsurgery.com including all its subpages.

    dubaicosmeticsurgery.com: Linksearch en (insource) - meta - de - fr - simple - wikt:en - wikt:fr • Spamcheck • MER-C X-wiki • gs • Reports: Links on en - COIBot - COIBot-Local • Discussions: tracked - advanced - RSN • COIBot-Link, Local, & XWiki Reports - Wikipedia: en - fr - de • Google: search • meta • Domain: domaintools • AboutUs.com

    I have seen all the previous threads and instances of spam reporting and I being representative of the Dubai Cosmetic Surgery Clinic own all the inappropriate approaches of linking directly by any of our team members or indirectly any third person associated with any of agency working with us. I apologize for all the inconvenience faced by all the moderators and editors. I also can help to provide any official and legal undertaking to keep restricted all such activities hereafter from this point. I just want our website to be whitelisted from spam list, I have learned that this spam list is public and Google also considers it and as one of the factors in organic ranking as reputation score. Please guide me if there are any important steps, I need to complete to get our clinic domain name whitelist. Khewra (talk) 10:16, 22 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
