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.

Instructions for editors

There are 4 sections for posting comments below. Please make comments in the appropriate section. These links take you to the appropriate section:

  1. Proposed additions
  2. Proposed removals
  3. Troubleshooting and problems
  4. Discussion

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.

Instructions for admins

Any admin unfamiliar with this page should probably read this first, thanks.
If in doubt, please leave a request and a spam-knowledgeable admin will follow-up.

  1. Does the site have any validity to the project?
  2. 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.
  3. 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).
  4. Make the entry at the bottom of the list (before the last line). Please do not do this unless you are familiar with regex — the disruption that can be caused is substantial.
  5. 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.
  6. 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 - 1077787355 after you have closed the request. See here for more info on logging.

Proposed additions[edit]


newsunzip.com[edit]

Very clearly a spammy MFA website that does not add any real value beyond recycling spun content. Reported consistently for hosting copyrighted content, see: https://transparencyreport.google.com/copyright/domains/newsunzip.com?hl=en and https://support.google.com/news/publisher-center/thread/142830530/how-come-this-website-https-www-newsunzip-com-is-appearing-in-google-news?hl=en

englishtivi.com[edit]

Persistent, ignores talk page warnings. IP range is narrow but busy, a block would cause a lot of collateral damage. - MrOllie (talk) 19:24, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed removals[edit]

rc24.xyz[edit]

I am not able to find this url on the blacklist, however, when using this url in an article it gets flagged, I assume because of the xyz extension in the name. This url is a first-party source on an article I am currently writing a draft on. This site does not contain false information, unreliable sources, or unbalanced reception as far as I can tell, I request that this url be unblocked.— Preceding unsigned comment added by PerryPerryD (talk • contribs)

@PerryPerryD:  Declined, Defer to Whitelist, everything on the .xyz TLD is blacklisted. Please be a bit more specific there (which article, what specific link, what information, etc.). And please have the draft ready - we don't tend to whitelist for drafts that do not end up in mainspace anyway. --Dirk Beetstra T C 04:01, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
