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:

  1. The link that you want whitelisted in the section title, like === example.com/help/index.php === .
  2. The Wikipedia page on which you want to use the link
  3. An explanation why it would be useful to the encyclopedia article proper
  4. If the site you're requesting is listed at /Common requests, please include confirmation that you have read the reason why requests regarding the site are commonly denied and that you still desire to proceed with your request

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|1070623023#section_name))

Note that requests from new or unregistered users are not usually considered.

Admins: Use seth's tool to search the spamlists.

Notice to everyone about our Reliable sources and External links noticeboards

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.

Proposed additions to Whitelist (web pages to unblock)


Request to whitelist rivermont.xyz

rivermont.xyz: Linksearch en (insource) - meta - de - fr - simple - wikt:en - wikt:fr • Spamcheck • MER-C X-wiki • gs • Reports: Links on en - COIBot - COIBot-Local • Discussions: tracked - advanced - RSN • COIBot-Link, Local, & XWiki Reports - Wikipedia: en - fr - de • Google: search • meta • Domain: domaintools • AboutUs.com

My personal website rivermont.xyz is blacklisted due to the local .xyz blanket filter.

I also run a Mediawiki instance focused on birding at wiki.rivermont.xyz, which is also blocked.

I don't plan on linking to or citing either site anywhere on WP except for my profile. -Rivermont- (talk) 04:10, 18 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

mapy.cz

The website Mapy.cz, which is widely used used in the Czech Republic (most probably it is actually by far the most commonly used online map in the Czech Republic), appears to be blacklisted. It features important extensions to OpenStreetMap, like the possibility to add photos, make searches by categories, by offering apps with offline maps, and even maps for blind people. I guess it must have landed on the blacklist by mistake. Could please anybody check it and possibly whitelist it? I would like to add the direct link on the article about OpenStreetMap. Thank you! Morgoonki (talk) 19:47, 5 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Morgoonki: Seems to be added because of Special:PermanentLink/998099040#Jacob_de_Joe_–_linkspam (added by user:Oshwah, report by user:Number 57). I would suggest a quick check on the current situation, and then  Defer to Local blacklist for delisting. --Dirk Beetstra T C 10:32, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hamza al Qadiri al Boutchichi

Want to link reference from qadrishattari.xyz to Hamza al Qadiri al Boutchichi.

Link proposed: Link requested to be whitelisted: qadrishattari.xyz/p/hamza-al-qadiri-al-boutchichi.html

domain proposed: qadrishattari.xyz

Reason: I think Hamza al Qadiri al Boutchichi can be improved with references from qadrishattari.xyz and others. Thanks. 37.111.219.102 (talk) 07:12, 5 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@37.111.219.102: Can you please expand on the nature of the site/specific document - who writes it, what does it contain? --Dirk Beetstra T C 08:11, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

See Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/JackNinte/Archive. - MrOllie (talk) 13:44, 22 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@105.159.16.191: no Declined. First create Draft:Jack Ninte through WP:AFC. At that point it does not need a working external link. It needs however independent reliable sources. If it is then granted into mainspace after independent review you can come back here for further instructions. --Dirk Beetstra T C 18:20, 22 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Film Companion - Baradwaj Rangan review

[1] Can you?--The Doom Patrol (talk) 19:02, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@The Doom Patrol: can we please have some more info, as per the description in the header? Dirk Beetstra T C 04:02, 31 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Beetstra: It's a review by Baradwaj Rangan, it can be added to that article, simple as that.--The Doom Patrol (talk) 07:51, 31 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@The Doom Patrol: Thanks for the clarification. plus Added to MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist. --Dirk Beetstra T C 13:20, 31 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Request to whitelist factor8 website

I was trying to edit Panorama (British TV programme)#Contaminated Blood: The Search for the Truth, using the above website (and specific URL) as a source, and found it had been blacklisted. A search around Wikipedia showed no discussion or blacklist proposal, only this Spam LinkReport generated automatically by COIBot.

It seems, from what I can surmise, like it may have been added as COI advocacy spam to certain articles in the past. However, it is the website covering the legal actions and developments of the Contaminated blood scandal in the United Kingdom, including a legal case key to the scandal, and the scandal's official inquiry, both of which are ongoing. Though it is information that could likely be found in newspapers, I doubt they would chronicle every change and development in the same manner as this website's extensive timeline; it is a primary source, but it's one I believe could be of use, though I wouldn't rest an entire article on it.

Apologies if I've missed some glaring reason this source is blacklisted; hopefully, I've filled this out correctly.--Ineffablebookkeeper (talk) (((ping)) me!) 17:00, 5 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

national-currency.com

@0mtwb9gd5wx: plus Added to MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist. --Dirk Beetstra T C 12:18, 3 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

dailystormer.name

This is the current official domain for The Daily Stormer but was blacklisted along with the now-defunct dailystormer.su in Spam-blacklist/archives.

The domain is not associated with spam and would be useful to have official domains up-to-date on The Daily Stormer's article as it is an article about a website hosted at that domain. --Bombuzal (talk) 13:48, 6 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Bombuzal: per MediaWiki talk:Spam-whitelist/Common_requests#The_official_homepage_of_the_subject_of_a_page, we would need an about-page or a full url (including an index.htm) of the index page. Can you please provide a suitable link? --Dirk Beetstra T C 14:21, 6 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

stormer5v52vjsw66jmds7ndeecudq444woadhzr2plxlaayexnh6eqd.onion

As per the request for dailystormer.name, this is the official Tor Onion service address for The Daily Stormer - an article about the website hosted at these domains. It is used in the article under external links (previously the v2 address was here).

Although .onion addresses aren't normally used in the infobox unless it is the primary URL for the subject of the article, it should be provided in External Links as the clearnet domains regularly changed or are otherwise blocked due to censorship. --Bombuzal (talk) 13:48, 6 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Bombuzal: no Declined, one official website is enough. --Dirk Beetstra T C 14:20, 6 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Request to whitelist pages on kickstarter.com
