MediaWiki talk:Spam-blacklist
 | MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist is a page in the MediaWiki namespace, which only administrators may edit. To request a change to it, please follow the directions at Wikipedia:Spam blacklist. |
| Spam blacklists |
|---|
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.
There are 4 sections for posting comments below. Please make comments in the appropriate section. These links take you to the appropriate section:
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.
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.
- Does the site have any validity to the project?
- 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.
- 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.)
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 – 1238110857 after you have closed the request. See here for more info on logging.
- →Snippet for logging: {{/request|1238110857#section_name}}
- →Snippet for logging of WikiProject Spam items: {{WPSPAM|1238110857#section_name}}
- →A user-gadget for handling additions to and removals from the spam-blacklist is available at User:Beetstra/Gadget-Spam-blacklist-Handler
Proposed additions
Instructions for proposed additions
Please provide diffs ( e.g. [[Special:Diff/99999999]] ) to show that there has been spamming! Completed requests should be marked with {{done}}, {{not done}}, or another appropriate indicator, and then archived. |

- Is there any evidence of these sites being spammed on Wikipedia, or do you just not like them? We don't block sites unless there has been spamming abuse of them. Canterbury Tail talk 12:39, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

- Yet it appears correct (don't remove other people's comments unless they're vandalism, please). Black Kite (talk) 14:42, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- An obviously-ESL user with 15 edits does not need to be followed into a thread -- where they've already had their request turned down by an administrator -- and given a pile-on comment that says literally nothing except to call them incompetent. WP:CIR is an unpleasant accusation that must sometimes unavoidably be made in the context of a more-nuanced analysis: it's not a loophole giving us a special code word for "fuckwit" that we're allowed to call people whenever we feel like it. jp×g🗯️ 15:00, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- The difference between WP:CIR and “fuckwit” is immense. Not speaking fluent English is not an excuse to edit incompetently on English Wikipedia. The user’s only recent edits are requests to block porn sites, which plus their extremely low edit count suggest they are also WP:NOTHERE. I was making an observation that the user is not productive and probably incapable and/or uninterested in being productive. Maybe I’m being petty here, but your reverting it and making a big deal out of another admin reverting you is pettier. Dronebogus (talk) 15:52, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah, in one of them the [fʌkʰ] is pronounced out loud, and in the other one it's silent. jp×g🗯️ 15:59, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

Smmsport.com is a formerly reliable sports news site which stopped updating in August 2023. It appears to have been hijacked by an online gambling operation, with gambling links insidiously inserted into the first top navigation menu. Existing links have been tagged for bot marking as usurped. --Paul_012 (talk) 04:01, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
- The site died, the domain went up for sale, spammers acquired it, used old site content with the addition of spam content. Discussion: Wikipedia:Link_rot/URL_change_requests#smmsport.com -- GreenC 15:52, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

- The disruptive adding of the content that caused the blacklisting in 2019 has ceased, as you can see with the activity of the accounts on the COIBot page. There's also rough consensus at Talk:Vuze#May 2024 (pretty much the only recent discussion of the topic) that BiglyBT has or may have notability enough for its own article, and I'm preparing a draft for it at Draft:BiglyBT. Aaron Liu (talk) 17:46, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose There is no rough consensus. Just two people desperately trying to push BiglyBT after it being shot down I don't no how many times for lack of notability and spamming. The Banner talk 23:02, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Aaron Liu: Declined, Defer to Whitelist for specific links on this domain. --Dirk Beetstra T C 05:21, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
