    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.

    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.

    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 regular expressions — 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 – 1172870941 after you have closed the request. See here for more info on logging.

    • Support blacklisting. (Noting the repeated link/ref-spamming [and copyvio at Commons] by multiple accounts/IPs, I came here to propose this domain be added to the spamlist. Finding that The Banner has already opened this thread/proposal instead, I'll instead endorse this existing proposal.) Guliolopez (talk) 11:05, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    mustangtreknepal.com

    Sales site sneakily added to Mustang Caves, overwriting a legitimate reference but leaving the previous reference's citation data. — Trey Maturin 15:59, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    @Trey Maturin: no Declined, single user with one edit. Lets first see if the warning helps. --Dirk Beetstra T C 07:51, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    @Trey Maturin: plus Added to MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist. There are two more editors in the report, one already blocked. --Dirk Beetstra T C 07:45, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    ecelebrityinfo.com

    Added (with extra bold markup) to Noah Lyles; this type of algorithm-generated nonsense site can never have any value to us. — Trey Maturin 12:21, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    no Declined. Single user, already blocked. If they change accounts we will blacklist. --Dirk Beetstra T C 07:43, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    saltfleetby.com

    User is adding their blog to various tangentially related articles, then reverting when it is removed, on the basis that their blog has "current information about the area which will be useful and interesting to anyone wishing to find out more on the subject or visit the area". They have made no other contributions except the addition and the reverting. The blog itself is not a reliable source. — Trey Maturin 15:31, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    no Declined. User has invoked WP:RTV. Since it is a single user we would normally block the user first, if it then re-occurs we would blacklist. Please re-report when user returns under another name. --Dirk Beetstra T C 07:42, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
