    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.

    Instructions for editors

    There are 4 sections for posting comments below. Please make comments in the appropriate section. These links take you to the appropriate section:

    1. Proposed additions
    2. Proposed removals
    3. Troubleshooting and problems
    4. Discussion

    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.

    Instructions for admins
    Any admin unfamiliar with this page should probably read this first, thanks.
    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.

    1. Does the site have any validity to the project?
    2. 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.
    3. 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.)
    4. 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.
    5. 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.
    6. 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 – 995490188 after you have closed the request. See here for more info on logging.

    news98.info

    Junk site being spammed by the creator - see User:Abhi0424/sandbox for proof of that. Zero reason to tolerate. There is some low-level spam at other wiki's but it seems for only one article (which is a dead link now). Ravensfire (talk) 01:24, 15 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    mcafees.ml

    I want to suggest adding a regex to catch any URL containing "mcafee" and ending in ".ml" or ".cf", or even just any domain containing "mcafee" that doesn't end in ".com". We have a particular link hijacker (Jouletale) who is the reason McAfee is extended-protected, is now gaming extended-confirmed just to be able to spam more links [8][9]. We have previously added something from this user to this blacklist but they just create new mcafee domains. – Thjarkur (talk) 12:42, 20 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    Hello, My site (Backdroid) goes in backlist of Wikipedia I don't know why some of my haters do this spamming links everywhere. Now i understand you don't want this on Wikipedia.

    Dear wikipedia. We are splusnews network, a govt registered private media news agency in west bengal india.

     Not done because there is nothing to do. @Juienbrandy: The domain https://www.splusnews.in/ is not blacklisted on the English Wikipedia, and it is not blacklisted globally. As you can see, I was able to link to it in this comment.
    Bear in mind that if you start adding links to your own site, you would be violating the conflict of interest guidelines, resulting in a likelihood that your site will be blacklisted. ~Anachronist (talk) 16:17, 15 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    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)"):

    1. first number, how many links did this user add (is the same after each link)
    2. second number, how many times did this link get added to wikipedia (for as far as the linkwatcher database goes back)
    3. third number, how many times did this user add this link
    4. 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.



    Troubleshooting and problems

    Discussion

    New script

    Since I recently came across a situation where I had to track down which line in a spam blacklist caused a hit, and since it was fairly tedious even with mediawiki.org's short local blacklist, I wrote a script to automate checking all of the lines of the blacklist to find a match: m:User:DannyS712/FindBlacklistEntry.js. Documentation is at Documentation now at m:User:DannyS712/FindBlacklistEntry, and I hope this is helpful to anyone else that deals with unexpected hits - it checks both the local and global blacklists. Let me know if there are any questions. Thanks, --DannyS712 (talk) 19:32, 16 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    Hey! I'm kunal from Backdroid, Sorry to say some of my haters are doing this mass spamming in Wikipedia, I know that it's completely wrong, I agree with that. Now if you can remove my website from spam list, I promise that this will not happen again in any condition. I hope you at this from heart.
