    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|1056337764#section_name}}

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

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

    Notice to everyone about our Reliable sources and External links noticeboards

    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.

    WePresent article

    This article is from an editorial website which publishes articles about artists and their work. I understand the blacklisting of the root domain WeTransfer, a file transfer service. But this subdomain is an entirely separate platform for reliable journalistic pieces of features and interviews with artists. This url is about the creation of an animated music video for a song sung by Jarvis Cocker for Wes Anderson's new film The French Dispatch. The article includes information directly from the artists which I have not found published elsewhere. I hope to include it on the article Chansons d'Ennui Tip-Top, the album the song is featured on. I am not certain that subdomains can even be whitelisted, so I am requesting this single url whitelist instead. Οἶδα (talk) 19:43, 27 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    @Οἶδα: plus Added to MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist. Note: we can whitelist subdomains. I will first give this a try, if we really see many requests from this subdomain we might want to just whitelist all. --Dirk Beetstra T C 08:15, 28 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    • Link requested to be whitelisted: verywellmind.com/cigarette-additives-2824737

    It has long been in the external links section of this Wikipedia article:

    Title: The Sneaky Reasons They're Present. By Terry Martin. May 19, 2016.

    I tried to update the link to this below and was stopped:

    Title: The Sneaky Role of Some Additives in Cigarettes. By Terry Martin. August 15, 2021. Medically reviewed by Armeen Poor, MD.

    I know medical info sites are sometimes blocked because some of their info is poorly sourced. But this medical article is very reliably sourced. It has been recently reviewed by an MD. And it has an extensive and high quality sources list at the end. Click "14 sources" to expand it in order to see the sources list.

    I want to move this article out of the external links, and use it as an additional reference link for the info in the first part of the article about how burning the additives makes some of them cancerous.

    @Timeshifter: plus Added to MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist. It was blacklisted because it was spammed (though reliability concerns were mentioned). --Dirk Beetstra T C 03:36, 8 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    Request to whitelist article on kavkazcenter.com

    I'm writing an article (The murder of Shamil Odamanov) about a viral Neo-Nazi video-murder posted on Youtube in 2007, the murderers posted their political statement on this website, and I would like to cite it as a quote. Kavkazcenter is a propaganda news website of radical Islamists in South Russia, that's why it's blocked, I guess. Thanks!Ghost of Shamil (talk) 16:57, 8 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    @Ghost of Shamil: plus Added to MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist for use as a primary source / source for quote. --Dirk Beetstra T C 06:35, 9 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    Request to whitelist article on kickstarter.com

    The Banner Saga's multilayer standalone portion called The Banner Saga: Factions was originally announced for iPad and Ouya. But the game was never released on the platform. The creators had announced close before launch in February 2013 on Kickstarter that it would only release on Windows and Mac, and not on iOS or consoles. So I need this to show that the game's planned release on iPad and Ouya were canceled. It's the only link where I could find out what happened to these planned ports of the multiplayer game.

    Request to whitelist article on borgenproject.org

    Please whitelist the above article's url since I need to use the information on this article as a reference in my article "Keajaiban Taiwan" on Indonesian Wikipedia (en:Taiwan Miracle). Thank you. Pierrewee (talk) 22:38, 13 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    @Pierrewee: no Declined, request basically is for whitelisting on Indonesian Wikipedia @ id:MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist. --Dirk Beetstra T C 10:25, 14 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    Request to whitelist page on indiegogo.com

    I'm working on fixing the page for Will Wood (musician) and I've come across that I need to cite an indiegogo.com link as one of my sources for and edit that adds information about one of his recent works. Makumatic (talk) 04:04, 16 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    Request to whitelist page on bitcointalk.org

    I need to add a citation to the "Scams" section in the Bitcointalk page for the content "As a policy, Bitcointalk does not moderate scams ...", but this domain is on the global blacklist.

    The attached link is a stickied forum thread by a moderator that is titled: "Unofficial list of (official) Bitcointalk.org rules, guidelines, FAQ", and references, among other things, that forum staff does not moderate scams. It is the only credible link that references such information.

    Request to whitelist page on filesusr.com

    The Wyoming Republican Party passed the above-linked resolution declaring that they no longer consider Wyoming's sole member of the United States House of Representatives Liz Cheney (at-large) to be a Republican. The resolution's text would benefit several pages (including, but not limited to, the following): "Liz Cheney," "Wyoming's at-large congressional district," and "Wyoming Republican Party." Please allow the resolution to be on Wikipedia.

    jaipurfoot.org

    Heavy COI spamming cross-wiki, but has an own article. Whitelisting a neutral landing page as the root domain is going to give continuous problems for use on Jaipur foot only. --Dirk Beetstra T C 05:35, 21 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    Protected edit request on 17 November 2021

    Need to whitelist onlineshop.co.uk as URL to include it in the necessary WikiPedia page. Jose82923 (talk) 07:50, 17 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    @Jose82923: Please read the instructions at the top of this page, and make a properly formatted request in the right place with a proper rationale. Note that we do not whitelist whole domains with very few exceptions so make your only for what you need. See /Common requests for more info. --Dirk Beetstra T C 10:03, 17 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
