    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.

    Please enter your requests at the bottom of the "proposed additions", "proposed removals", or "troubleshooting" section, as appropriate, and not at the 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|1350436068#section_name}}

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

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

    Proposed additions

    [edit]

    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.

    Not enormously important, but I'd like to add it with url. Also, if granted, I might use it as Template:Press on some article talkpages as well. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 21:00, 31 January 2026 (UTC).[reply]

    I don't know, man. Having been involved in some of those topics myself, I can say rarely have I come across a more clueless article about Wikipedia. Clueless about conflicts of interest, clueless about reliable sourcing, clueless about what "neutrality" means here, outright falsehoods about what Wikipedia claims about "moderation"... I could go on. Does whitelisting this really add any value here? ~Anachronist (who / me) (talk) 15:06, 27 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    Allowance of Artvoice.com

    [edit]

    Link requested to be whitelisted: Artvoice.com

    artvoice.com: Linksearch en (insource) - meta - de - fr - simple - wikt:en - wikt:fr • Spamcheck • blacklist hits • MER-C X-wiki • gs • Reports: Links on en - COIBot - COIBot-Local • Discussions: tracked - advanced - RSN • COIBot-Link, Local, & XWiki Reports - Wikipedia: en - fr - de • Google: search • meta • Domain: domaintools • AboutUs.com

    I was doing an archive of Buffalo Sabres and received an error message from IABot claiming that artvoice.com was blacklisted. I couldn't find it in the blacklist page and although there was one discussion in WP:RS, it only knocked a blog via the website rather than the whole newspaper. It didn't knock the website to a blacklist. From what I gather, everything from the website is legitimate, so I'm not sure why or how it was blacklisted in the first place. If this is just an IABot management issue then I'm not sure how that occurred. Conyo14 (talk) 21:25, 12 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    addition diff. That said, I was able to run iabot on that page just fine. Normally I would say Defer to Local blacklist here, but courtesy ping to Moneytrees * Pppery * it has begun... 17:54, 20 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    @Conyo14 @Pppery Sorry for the delay in replying; to summarize what I can from the ticket, that website is a part of a family of SEO smear harassment/spam sites affiliated with some of our nastier banned UPES, so it's not reliable and is best not used on Wikipedia. That said, the example here doesn't appear to be directly related to that stuff, so it probably doesn't matter if it's whitelisted on that article. Moneytrees🏝️(Talk) 23:44, 23 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm confused, so basically Artvoice is unreliable due to some SEO smearing/harrassment/spam, but the specific use of the source is fine on the article? I gather I should probably just replace it if it is associated with the spam sites then. Conyo14 (talk) 04:48, 24 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    @Conyo14 in other words, we shouldn’t use it but that use is innocuous, yeah. Moneytrees🏝️(Talk) 02:07, 25 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    Very old Kickstarters

    [edit]

    These three links were removed as sources from Powered by the Apocalypse & replaced with "citation needed" since Kickstarter is blacklisted.

    For Field Guide to Memory; similar to previous requests (old, fully funded Kickstarter). In this case, while it has a secondary source for some of the Kickstarter details, this source was published while the Kickstarter was ongoing so doesn't include the end details (total funds & backers).

    currency.com.au

    [edit]

    I am attempting to link to a page associated with this domain which is used by Currency Press, an Australian publishing house that specialises in drama and theatrical texts. However it is being flagged as being on a blacklist. It is in no way associated with the "currency dot com" domain which appears to be on that list.

    Currency Press is a legitimate organisation whose papers are lodged at the National Library of Australia (see https://catalogue.nla.gov.au/catalog/1439384). Perry Middlemiss (talk) 21:03, 3 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    Moved the block of currency.com to Special:BlockedExternalDomains instead so this should now work: https://currency.com.au * Pppery * it has begun... 22:10, 3 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    TradingView whitelist request

    [edit]

    We previously discussed with an admin about whitelisting our domain (tradingview.com). Our site should be whitelisted because it provides reliable and educational content on trading, financial markets, and chart analysis that can support Wikipedia articles with real-world examples and references. The following articles would benefit from the addition of our link:

    TradingView – to provide examples of charting tools and analysis methods. We would also appreciate it if the link in the TradingView article profile could be corrected to the right one.

    Specific page to be added: {{WLRequestLink|tradingview.com}} Link summary: tradingview.com: Linksearch en (insource) - meta - de - fr - simple - wikt:en - wikt:fr • Spamcheck • blacklist hits • MER-C X-wiki • gs • Reports: Links on en - COIBot - COIBot-Local • Discussions: tracked - advanced - RSN • COIBot-Link, Local, & XWiki Reports - Wikipedia: en - fr - de • Google: search • meta • Domain: domaintools • AboutUs.com

    Abondar.TV (talk) 16:19, 10 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

     Not done We can't whitelist the domain, that would effectively remove it from the blacklist. This is blacklisted at the Global Blacklist and you'd need to make a request there. Note that they typically will not act on owner or COI requests. Sam Kuru (talk) 21:52, 10 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    @Abondar.TV: no Declined, we are not whitelisting whole domains, we are not delisting on request of site owners. The material on TradingView should supported by material independent from TradingView, not by self published material (we are talking about TradingView, not for TradingView). Some is fine, and for that you can ask for specific links to be whitelisted. --Dirk Beetstra T C 10:00, 11 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks for you reply. I was forwarded here from this conversation: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Spam_blacklist#c-NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh-20260309170100-Abondar.TV-20260309131500
    Maybe you can whitelist not the whole domain, but at least the main page? Thus, it will be possible to add it as a relevant reference for the company and product article. Abondar.TV (talk) 10:22, 18 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    @Abondar.TV: per MediaWiki talk:Spam-whitelist/Common_requests#The_official_homepage_of_the_subject_of_a_page, we would need an about-page or a full url (including an index.htm) of the index page. Can you please provide a suitable link? --Dirk Beetstra T C 10:32, 18 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    Here's the About page: Link requested to be whitelisted: tradingview.com/about/

    Examiner.com article

    [edit]

    Intending to use this for its reporting on a 2010 military operation in Yemen, specifically for the events of 20 August. The Wiki article right now only uses a claim from a pro-government newspaper cited by AFP, while the suggested article covers that, along with a claim from an official cited by AP and local news sources in Yemen. Will also use the statement by the Southern Democratic Assembly to expand the reactions to the operation.

    I believe Jane Novak, although being a blogger, qualifies as an exception to the Examiner.com blacklist as she has written for generally reliable sources such as FDD's Long War Journal and the the Yemen Times, and has been cited as a Yemen analyst by credible sources such as Middle East Eye and The New Humanitarian. Hsnkn (talk) 02:45, 17 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    @Hsnkn: Added to MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist. I've added also the original on examiner.com since you state this article is an exception to general examiner material. --Dirk Beetstra T C 08:52, 18 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    castle.xyz

    [edit]

    (NOTE: I made an earlier message, (but was unsuccessful) so this is just going to be a copypaste of said message plus minor stuff. Also I'm going to bed for now, so I'm only checking comments once I'm back.)

    So I am working on a draft article about Castle, a 2021 app about making and creating games, which then they will cancel me because no reliable source had interest in the app. The problem is that I thought Wikipedia was hallucinating, but castle.xyz is literally the official website for the app, and it thinks it's on the blacklist, so it can't add it. MediaWiki:Spamprotectiontext immediately shows up thinking castle.xyz is spam. This is weird because literally no Wikipedian knows about the app and I'm a likelyhood of a good faith editor which means I had to write a draft about it. Anything...? And, since when was .xyz blocked? I hope not in The NawlinWiki Times because I (and Castle) wasn't around at that time. - SimpleObjects-9ei 🔥/🎰/😴 02:29, 22 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    @SimpleObjects-9ei the whole xyz-tld is blocked globally because of the disruption (spam) cause by spammed abusing the easy/free hand-out of spam domains. We whitelist real domains liberally, and I will add this one when the article is in mainspace. On hold until then. Dirk Beetstra T C 08:17, 22 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    Appears to be one of the only places that lists Casey Mongillo's preferred pronouns,(under the button "Click me for a surprise") which had been the source of a dispute a while ago. The addition to their linktree was made shortly before the dispute, likely for correcting the article, and it remains the only primary source I've found regarding the subject's pronouns.(Primary source is preferable when describing a subject's preference) ᴸᵃᶠᶠʸTaffer💬(they/she) 06:02, 25 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    Requesting whitelisting of the official website of Munley Law Personal Injury Attorneys, a personal injury law firm founded in Scranton, Pennsylvania, in 1959 (Wikidata: Q139293913).

    Why it should be whitelisted: The site is the official web presence of a legitimate, well-established law firm listed on Martindale-Hubbell, Super Lawyers, and Best Lawyers. It is not a spam site and does not meet the criteria for remaining on the blacklist.

    @Beetstra Internet Archive is the article in question to my understanding. The second part is obvious imo, if a user navigates to the page in the Tor browser (which I assume would be used in contexts where folks desire the anonymity, like to circumvent censorship or performing journalism on oppressive regimes), they will be able to directly click on the link in the article.

    no Declined This appears to simply be a SEO blog run by promoters and solicited contributors. Site is blacklisted across four different wikis, and probably needs to be blocked at meta. Original BL request is here: part of a larger blackhat SEO junk farm. Sam Kuru (talk) 11:42, 9 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    @Belovedofgod1977: pile on no Declined. Wrong section, we don't whitelist whole domains, and there is no indication that this is remotely reliable. --Dirk Beetstra T C 13:21, 9 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    Troubleshooting and problems

    unodc.org whitelist request

    [edit]

    Trying to add a ref to unodc.org, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, and getting url blacklist error.

    Error message: Blacklisting indicates past problems with the link, so any requests should clearly demonstrate how inclusion would benefit Wikipedia. The following link has triggered a protection filter: c.org Either that exact link, or a portion of it (typically the root domain name) is currently blocked.

    The reference (with the link broken): [1]

    [edit]

    Even though it wasn't me who added this source to Monica Helms, to finish my edit I had to remove it from the parameter url=, meaning that now only the archived links is going to be on that page, unless someone could add it again, or it will be with Help:CS1 errors#cite web url forever.

    @Web-julio Only the archive links should be used, the blacklisting discussion states that it is currently a spam domain. Maybe mark it as 'usurped'? Otherwise whitelist the specific link (make a request above as defined in the header). Dirk Beetstra T C 07:20, 3 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    [edit]

    Requesting whitelisting of the official website of Munley Law Personal Injury Attorneys, a personal injury law firm founded in Scranton, Pennsylvania, in 1959 (Wikidata: d:Q139293913).

    The link would be added to:

    The site is a legitimate law firm website listed on Martindale-Hubbell, Super Lawyers, and Best Lawyers. It is not a spam site. The domain was blacklisted at some point, but does not meet the criteria for remaining on the blacklist. Wlindars (talk) 20:19, 13 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    @Wlindars: no Declined. Please request this as a delisting request ( Defer to Global blacklist - it is globally blacklisted) or as a specific whitelisting request (in the correct section above), following the instructions specific for either page (this is the wrong section for here). Note that legitimate websites are still sometimes spammed or heavily abused and therefore will not be removed. --Dirk Beetstra T C 07:13, 15 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]
