    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|759272032#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.

    Archived page with cjb.net domain in it

    • Link requested to be whitelisted: web.archive.org/web/20100109102640/http://www.watratoros.cjb.net/

    This is also part of the archived official website of the Thai temple Wat Rajorasaram. This webpage relates the history of the temple. The information is in Thai language, and is descriptive and historical in nature, rather than promotional. I would like to use the information on Dhammakaya Movement#Wat Rajorasaram. I have read MediaWiki talk:Spam-whitelist/Common requests, but am not able to trace the original url, due to the page having been archived. Please note that "http://" must be inserted before "www.watratoros" for the link to work.S Khemadhammo (talk) 08:49, 24 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    I need to add this to a reference on Nassim Taleb's web page to cite his time at Oxford. The link has not been active since 2014 but I need to link to the archive in the waybackwhenmachine. I requested a removal from the blacklist but there may still be some concerns about a sock puppet. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_talk:Spam-blacklist#sbs.ox.ac.uk.2Fcentres.2Fbt VergilDen (talk) 21:42, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

     Not done, this has been removed from the blacklist instead. Kuru (talk) 00:12, 10 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
