    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|789736129#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.

    Just Jared and song release

    Request whitelisting of the specific URL announcing a song release. Clearly not gossip, the piece is endorsed by the artist. —ATS 🖖 talk 18:43, 9 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Please whitelist the specified link to the Change dot org petition for use on the page The Emperor's Bridge Campaign.

    The petition was the "foundational gesture" and the impetus for the launch of the nonprofit, The Emperor's Bridge Campaign, that is the subject of the page. As such, it is a key historical moment in the development of the Campaign.

    Numerous of the page's references describe and link to the petition. These references include the San Francisco Chronicle, the San Francisco Bay Guardian, KQED, the Los Angeles Times, SFist, Laughing Squid and the San Jose Mercury News. Johnlumea (talk) 04:48, 10 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    docs.onion.io

    This one is blocked because global blacklist for "docs.onion" exists, which designates to some site behind TOR network. But the website docs.onion.io and it's parent onion.io are not on the TOR network, it's a home website for computing hardware Omega2. This website contains technical specs of the hardware which I would like to refer to on the article. Please whitelist this. NStorm (talk) 05:58, 16 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    @Pigsonthewing: plus Added to MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist, may be reputable, but the spamming smells too much of SEO work (which is something also reputable organisation use). See MediaWiki_talk:Spam-whitelist/Archives/2017/06#BMI. --Dirk Beetstra T C 20:40, 4 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    @BugMenn: plus Added to MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist. Per Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Spam/2011_Archive_Nov_1#360cities.net, seen the active advertising incentive and spam incentive (even if it is now in the past), I am uncomfortable with whitelisting the whole site. --Dirk Beetstra T C 10:54, 7 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
