Shortcuts

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 - 1096773442 after you have closed the request. See here for more info on logging.

Proposed additions[edit]


qadrishattari.xyz[edit]

This has been widely spammed for a while but it's clearly a Wikipedia mirror of sorts and not reliable, see for example this. One editor on multiple accounts and IPs in particular is responsible for the majority of it's uses and it's being used in controversial statements. PRAXIDICAE💕 14:43, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I came here to report a different URL and to my surprise saw Praxidicae's request to blacklist qadrishattari.xyz when I was sure it had already been blacklisted.
And yes it was indeed blacklisted on 16 May 2021 (blacklist request) but whitelisted on February 2022 (whitelist request). I support removing this from the whitelist again as it's not a reliable source and just used for promotional purposes. They have even gone so far as to create a different URL redirecting to qadrishattari.xyz in to circumvent the blacklist (see blacklist request that lead to blacklisting another URL). – NJD-DE (talk) 18:47, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Not so ironically, the requester is a globally locked sock and enwiki banned editor. It has been globally blacklisted, we just need an enwiki admin to please take it off the whitelist. PRAXIDICAE💕 18:48, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I am not fully convinced by Praxidicae, that the site is a mirror because I can see there are content which is needed for the article like this, where I have myself cited qadrihattari. xyz in past to verify the claim by assuming it as a religious organization website. These types of religious organizations website are helpful for such atypical Niches. Also I can see It had been globally added by various trusted users of respected wikis. I see Praxidicae had blindly revert various other constructive or good faith edits relevant to that site. I am not sure WHY? Dove's talk (talk) 19:27, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps you should read WP:BMB, further it's clearly unreliable as half of the uses on Wikipedia are circular back to us with only a handful of words changed. PRAXIDICAE💕 19:30, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately your argument is baseless here per [1] , [2] [3] [4] [5] [6][7] and many more. Dove's talk (talk) 19:58, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Enlighten me, where did they get that information and who runs the site? A simple whois indicates that it is not in fact an "official" site for anything, it's run by a serial spammer. PRAXIDICAE💕 20:09, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Self-reverted, not entirely sure what's going on here now though ~TNT (talk • she/her) 18:29, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Praxidicae: Still I am not convinced with your hypothesis that it is run by a single person but it is a religious organization website as it is listed as religious org's website in local directories. Also per Who.is its addressed is somewhere in Maharashtra. Dove's talk (talk) 18:29, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Lol. Nicelocal.in isn't a reliable source, but a simple whois will reveal a world of information and I suggest you cease adding it- further, it doesn't mean it's reliable even if what you say is true and would require attribution as to their opinion. PRAXIDICAE💕 18:31, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed that nice local.in is not reliable. Go and check on Google maps for that location you will see it as official website of Dargah Sufi Sarmast Ali Shah Qalandar. Also my argument is not on the reliability of the source but my argument is based on your clearly false hypothesis that it is a mirror and it is not any religious org website. Dove's talk (talk) 18:35, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Also please do not revert the good faith and constructive edits. Dove's talk (talk) 18:36, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It's a spam source, it's not reliable and does not belong on this project and it's been blacklisted. PRAXIDICAE💕 18:40, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Dove's talk: Stop edit warring now or you're getting blocked. Simple. The link has been blacklisted, and I'm trying to figure out why its not being prevented. That does not give you carte blanche to keep adding it in the meantime ~TNT (talk • she/her) 18:43, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I have self reverted, the Elno section. But I believe that the citation was okay. Hope it helps. Thank you. Dove's talk (talk) 18:45, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It was formerly on the whitelist and the blacklist simultaneously, which was allowing link additions. It got removed from the whitelist yesterday. - MrOllie (talk) 18:52, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand something. The string 'xyz' is blacklisted, which should block any .xyz domain. How is it that this listing request came about, if the TLD is already blacklisted? ~Anachronist (talk) 05:15, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

As explained above, it was on the whitelist, which overrides the blacklisting of the TLD. MrOllie (talk) 11:18, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, yes, OK. I was clearly confused. Is the entry \bqadrishattari\.xyz\b even necessary then, if it's removed from the whitelist? It was added after the .xyz domain. ~Anachronist (talk) 17:13, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

jagatgururampalji.org[edit]

Majority of links from this site are written in a way to attract readers to Rampal's religious works. The articles usually follow a pattern. The users change or add a reference to an important day (such as father's day or world tobacco day) to this site, the article on the site gives a brief introduction of that day but somehow ends up directing readers to religious practice. For example, an article for Autism day gives a brief definition of the word but ends up claiming that it can be cured with 'this' religious practice. Kenm v2 (talk) 07:16, 21 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Per #3 in the instructions above, it's currently used as a refrence on a number of pages. As to whether or not it's an WP:RS, I'd say probably not, but possibly.

This is a personal venture of a rather promotional editor (Iamkange), I'm currently waiting for the COIBot report to finish but there are several uses here and elsewhere that shouldn't be. It appears to have been mass spammed by only a handful of SPAs and the owner/managing director but has no encyclopedic value and is just being used to spam. PRAXIDICAE🌈 12:04, 24 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Most of the additions on the COI report seem to be good faith additions; 237 is the country code of Cameroon, and there could be a dearth of good sources for Cameroon-specific topics. That said, I'd tend to agree that the website doesn't appear to meet our WP:RS guidelines; my only concern is whether or not it's been spammed in bad faith or not.

Bog standard spamming of a gambling site by obvious coi accounts (the username matches the "author" parameter in the spam citations, the numbers match the name of the company). I can think of no legitimate project use of this site, hence the request for blacklisting. These three edits [9] [10] [11] Have some "interesting" utm parameters, which proves this is an organised attempt to spam wikipedia, not just a good faith mistake. The account concerned has been warned repeatedly about spam link additions since may, but this has had no effect on their editing. 192.76.8.85 (talk) 19:15, 28 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Worthless "estimated net worth" auto-generated website. — TREY MATURIN has spoken 15:13, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'd agree that it's not at all useful for Wikipedia, but have there been any other attempts to add it? OhNoitsJamie Talk 04:47, 6 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed removals[edit]

Lavish Film verified artist[edit]

I need an email to contact someone who can assist me with removing a verified artist’s name from the blacklist upon creating their account. This is quite the hinderance and I would love to know more about this. LavishFilmedit (talk) 05:46, 7 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@LavishFilmedit: if you give us the domain name (without https://) or what link you want to post we can tell you more. We keep this communication strictly here on-wiki for transparency reasons. --Dirk Beetstra T C 05:57, 7 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

en.help.roblox.com[edit]

May you unblock en.help.roblox.com, as it is a helpful resource from the official developers behind Roblox. Not sure why it was banned in the first place! MatthewAlfaro2011 (talk) 12:46, 8 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@MatthewAlfaro2011: The roblox.com domain was blacklisted in November 2017 due to repeated violations of WP:NOTWEBHOST by users intent on spamming various Roblox links to every possible place, likely in a misguided attempt at search engine optimization.
Defer to Whitelist for whitelisting requests of single pages. The domain roblox.com will not be removed from the blacklist. ~Anachronist (talk) 02:15, 11 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]


medicinepricebd.com[edit]

I have added some information and given references, but I come to know that the source is blacklisted. The web is : Medicine Price bd But I think it should be unlisted from the blacklist. I don't know why it is listed. I have found useful information about medicine and medical in Bangla and the English language.

We have many unfinished articles in the Bangla language which can be filled taking information from this website, That's why I told you.

Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ruhul Amin2354 (talk • contribs) 08:09, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Ruhul Amin2354:  Declined, not blacklisted - you could link to it (question though is whether you should link to it, I doubt it follows our guidelines/policies). --Dirk Beetstra T C 11:26, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I was using this blog for the article: https://bn.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%A6%85%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B2_%E0%A6%AC%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%B0%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%AA%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A4
There are a lot of information in that blog (Link)
That's why I an telling. But I cannot give reference for that blog. Kindly give me a solution. Ruhul Amin2354 (talk) 10:12, 18 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Ruhul Amin2354 Then you have to go to https://bn.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_talk:Spam-blacklist. It is not blacklisted here, no-one on en.wikipedia can resolve this issue. Dirk Beetstra T C 11:54, 19 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

historypak.com[edit]

Can't understand why it is blocked or where. Can you unblock it? I need it for article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islami_Jamhoori_Ittehad

  •  Not done While original blacklisting was related to malware hosting, site does not meet WP:RS guidelines, so there isn't a compelling reason to unblock. Better sourcing should be available elsewhere. OhNoitsJamie Talk 16:04, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for responding. Issue was 6 years ago. Website is displayed by google, so pretty sure all those issues were properly addressed.
I think any website which is indexed by google and ranked nice, should be removed from blocklist. What is process for website removal?
