MediaWiki talk:Spam-blacklist
MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist is a page in the MediaWiki namespace, which only administrators may edit. To request a change to it, please follow the directions at Wikipedia:Spam blacklist. |
Spam blacklists |
---|
Mediawiki:Spam-blacklist is meant to be used by the spam blacklist extension. Unlike the meta spam blacklist, this blacklist affects pages on the English Wikipedia only. Any administrator may edit the spam blacklist. See Wikipedia:Spam blacklist for more information about the spam blacklist.
There are 4 sections for posting comments below. Please make comments in the appropriate section. These links take you to the appropriate section:
Each section has a message box with instructions. In addition, please sign your posts with ~~~~ after your comment.
Completed requests are archived. Additions and removals are logged, reasons for blacklisting can be found there.
Addition of the templates {{Link summary}} (for domains), {{IP summary}} (for IP editors) and {{User summary}} (for users with account) results in the COIBot reports to be refreshed. See User:COIBot for more information on the reports.
If in doubt, please leave a request and a spam-knowledgeable admin will follow-up.
Please consider using Special:BlockedExternalDomains instead, powered by the AbuseFilter extension. This is faster and more easily searchable, though only supports whole domains and not whitelisting.
- Does the site have any validity to the project?
- Have links been placed after warnings/blocks? Have other methods of control been exhausted? Would referring this to our anti-spam bot, XLinkBot be a more appropriate step? Is there a WikiProject Spam report? If so, a permanent link would be helpful.
- Please ensure all links have been removed from articles and discussion pages before blacklisting. (They do not have to be removed from user or user talk pages.)
- Make the entry at the bottom of the list (before the last line). Please do not do this unless you are familiar with regular expressions — the disruption that can be caused is substantial.
- Close the request entry on here using either {{done}} or {{not done}} as appropriate. The request should be left open for a week maybe as there will often be further related sites or an appeal in that time.
- Log the entry. Warning: if you do not log any entry you make on the blacklist, it may well be removed if someone appeals and no valid reasons can be found. To log the entry, you will need this number – 876375307 after you have closed the request. See here for more info on logging.
- →Snippet for logging: {{/request|876375307#section_name}}
- →Snippet for logging of WikiProject Spam items: {{WPSPAM|876375307#section_name}}
- →A user-gadget for handling additions to and removals from the spam-blacklist is available at User:Beetstra/Gadget-Spam-blacklist-Handler
Proposed additions
Instructions for proposed additions
Please provide diffs ( e.g. [[Special:Diff/99999999]] ) to show that there has been spamming! Completed requests should be marked with {{done}}, {{not done}}, or another appropriate indicator, and then archived. |

Hello I'm trying to post evidence of an edit I have made to Gordon Ramsay's wikipedia page and the link, which is a from a Q&A done by him over gogglevideo.com, triggers a protection filter and cannot be used as reference. I have no idea what's causing this because I can't see the log files and since I cannot find any other source on the matter it would be really helpful if googlevideo.com can be unblocked? Cos93 (talk) 17:38, 16 December 2018 (UTC)

Hi I have been trying to draft an article in which I used a link from this site on the page. However it triggers a protection filter and I cannot use the link in my article. This page is purely descriptive and in no way is it trying to advocate the promotion of the company. I'm aware it was blacklisted because of excessive advertising and promotion, but the page i want to use the link in is not a promotional page. It is only for providing users with information they can benefit from. It is merely to help users online find information on the subject of event management and simplify their work in the same. Would be really helpful if bookeventz.com can be unblocked.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Carina Judith Fernandes (talk • contribs)
- @Carina Judith Fernandes: Declined, we are not going to remove this after all the spamming by multiple socks and IPs, and all the ignored warnings. When your page goes from your sandbox to mainspace (i.e., if you can find enough independent sourcing to show the subject is notable), you can ask for whitelisting as per instructions there for the official website of a subject. Therefore, Defer to Whitelist. --Dirk Beetstra T C 13:34, 18 December 2018 (UTC)

Trying to add references to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GoFundMe#Notable_projects. It's a chart of the most notable/high raising instances. Currently the entire chart is unsourced.

And the content does not violates any copyrights rule. 3. We have added information to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finance where the links were used. 4. At this point.

Hi, As I was reading on Wikipedia i saw bajajfinserv.in is blacklisted in spam domains list then i decided to let Wikipedia know to remove this domain from blacklisted domains list because bajajfinserv.in is official website of Bajaj Finserv, a company in India Registered under Government of India as NBFC (Non Banking Financial Corporation) to provide various types of loans, insurance, wallet, online digital wallets etc. Bajaj Finserv wiki is here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bajaj_Finserv It is quite an old company in India which got registered under Reserve Bank of India in 2009. I don't how and why it was added to spam list but its a good company providing valuable services to people as on their website. Their website data can help in Wikipedia to increase knowledge to its users.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Preetichopralive (talk • contribs)
- Declined This link has been spammed excessively in the past, likely amateurish SEO activities by the company itself. I would note that you attempted to add this link in the same way - a simple spamref to a product offering list, then rotated through various URL shorteners to try forcing it through.

Troubleshooting and problems
Logging / COIBot Instructions
Blacklist logging
Full instructions for admins
Quick reference
For Spam reports or requests originating from this page, use template {{/request|0#section_name}}
{{/request|213416274#Section_name}}
- Insert the oldid 213416274 a hash "#" and the Section_name (Underscoring_spaces_where_applicable):
- Use within the entry log here.
For Spam reports or requests originating from Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Spam use template {{WPSPAM|0#section_name}}
{{WPSPAM|182725895#Section_name}}
- Insert the oldid 182725895 a hash "#" and the Section_name (Underscoring_spaces_where_applicable):
- Use within the entry log here.
- Note: If you do not log your entries, it may be removed if someone appeals the entry and no valid reasons can be found.
Addition to the COIBot reports
The lower list in the COIBot reports now have after each link four numbers between brackets (e.g. "www.example.com (0, 0, 0, 0)"):
- first number, how many links did this user add (is the same after each link)
- second number, how many times did this link get added to wikipedia (for as far as the linkwatcher database goes back)
- third number, how many times did this user add this link
- fourth number, to how many different wikipedia did this user add this link.
If the third number or the fourth number are high with respect to the first or the second, then that means that the user has at least a preference for using that link. Be careful with other statistics from these numbers (e.g. good user who adds a lot of links). If there are more statistics that would be useful, please notify me, and I will have a look if I can get the info out of the database and report it. This data is available in real-time on IRC.
Poking COIBot
When adding {{LinkSummary}}, {{UserSummary}} and/or {{IPSummary}} templates to WT:WPSPAM, WT:SBL, WT:SWL and User:COIBot/Poke (the latter for privileged editors) COIBot will generate linkreports for the domains, and userreports for users and IPs.
