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:
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|944861702#section_name))
Note that requests from new or unregistered users are not usually considered.
Admins: Use seth's tool to search the spamlists.

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.
This section is for proposing that a web page be whitelisted; add new entries at the bottom of this section. Completed requests will be marked with an appropriate Indicator then archived.

Wikipedia page that you want to use the link on: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nano_(cryptocurrency)
An explanation why it would be useful to the encyclopedia article proper:
Someone has added a non-academic/non-notable source that incorrectly states that Bitcoin core developer Gregory Maxwell's criticism of Nano is due to its zero-fee structure: https://coinrivet.com/what-is-nano-an-introduction-to-the-zero-fee-cryptocurrency/. That article in-turn links to a 1st-party source from Gregory himself, where he states that his criticism of Nano is about its Sybil attack protection, not its zero-fee structure. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Qwahzi (talk • contribs)

An earlier mention of Doug TenNapel's writing stint with Breitbart was removed for lack of evidence, and I'd like to put it back with a citation of his author page to show his activity and tenure there. Mockingbus (talk) 06:54, 15 February 2020 (UTC)

Lenta.ru has been problematic since 2014 when it was taken over and its staff replaced by a pro-government one (see this Guardian article for details). However this means that the links to pre-2014 articles are being removed or at least cannot be added. I'm not sure what is the best way to deal with this situation, for now I'd like to request whitelisting of a specific url:

www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/index.php?topic=1519.0#subject_21757
avpgalaxy.net is blacklisted because of links to dubious authenticity, such as unsubstantiated fan theories. However, the citation in question is by author Steve Perry, who was answering fan questions in an AMA-style thread. It might be worth adding \bavpgalaxy\.net/forum/index\.php\?topic=1519\.
to the spam whitelist, which will allow linkage to any page of this particular thread. For now, I've simply left the citation in an HTML comment-block, since I didn't want to lose my research. OmenBreeze (talk) 09:38, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
www.stmarks-cardiff.co.uk/
It looks as though www.stmarks-cardiff.co.uk may be in the blacklist as a false positive, as it doesn't appear in the blacklist logs as far as I can tell. Dirk Beetstra suggested that it was easier to put the link in the whitelist. ActiveRetired (talk) 14:39, 3 March 2020 (UTC)

I was working on articles related to casino and games on Wikipedia and recently created 10bet. Turns out official site is blacklisted. The official logs say it was banned back in 2007. I was referred to here by this request. Lunar Clock (talk) 22:34, 7 March 2020 (UTC)

OpIndia was recently blacklisted for doxing a Wikipedia editor, but I would like to use links to the site at Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#OpIndia, where a discussion (which I hope to join later) is taking place as to whether or not the site will be depreciated.

For the subject article. --Dirk Beetstra T C 07:32, 8 March 2020 (UTC)
The article Pornhub cites the website pornhub.com a few times as a primary source (as acceptable uses). Two examples are www.pornhub.com/content-removal and www.pornhub.com/devices/wankband, which I've added references to in an edit today. There are also a few other references with URLs missing that should have pornhub.com URLs. I don't know whether it's possible to whitelist pornhub.com as a domain specifically for the article Pornhub, but if not the individual examples I've given and other pages alluded to in the Reference section should be whitelisted. Thanks! — Bilorv (talk) 18:02, 8 March 2020 (UTC)
This section is for discussing rules on the whitelist that need removal. Note: This section is usually not for requesting to remove an entire domain from the blacklist. Please post such requests at MediaWiki_talk:Spam-blacklist#Proposed_removals. |
