    Spam blacklists
    Shortcuts

    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.

    Please enter your requests at the 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|1325834274#section_name}}

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

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

    Proposed additions

    [edit]

    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.

    Review hosted on an XYZ domain

    [edit]
    • {{LinkSummary|log.fakewhale.xyz}}
    • {{WLRequestLink|log.fakewhale.xyz/exploring-collective-identity-a-philosophical-journey-with-meriem-bennanis-for-my-best-family/}} (November 29, 2024)

    Outtake from the Reception section of Bouchra (draft) at AFC, from September 25. From what I've assumed, Fakewhale is an otherwise legit art site (albeit with an occasional aside on the NFT movement).

    In case any on board here are asking/wondering, Bouchra is an adult computer-animated film with animal characters, touted as Morocco's first animated feature. Bouchra entered the festival circuit this month; this review dates from the time it was originally screened under the title For Aicha at a Milan art facility. --Slgrandson (How's my egg-throwing coleslaw?) 19:27, 30 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    @Slgrandson please notify us when/if the draft is accepted. No use to whitelist a link for something that never ends up in mainspace. (and then, per your comment, I would consider to whitelist the whole domain). Dirk Beetstra T C 05:44, 12 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
     Pending: Giving ourselves up to two more weeks' wait per current AFC-queue outlook (so that we don't lose this thread to the archive in a matter of days). --Slgrandson (How's my egg-throwing coleslaw?) 00:48, 8 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Now Approved at AFC thanks to @LuniZunie! (As a bonus, whitelist liminul.xyz/meriem-bennani-life-on-the-caps/ for verification of festival appearances of an earlier Bennani work.)
    --Slgrandson (How's my egg-throwing coleslaw?) 21:59, 12 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    I have taken out the original request links (to not confuse the script). So we are requesting:

    Will add in next edit. --Dirk Beetstra T C 05:28, 13 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    qadrishattari.xyz

    [edit]

    Per request from Tempdispacc: "I want to add info from that site WP:About self; I think this should be a reasonable request for Whitelisting" also "WP: ELOFFICIAL". Link is currently blocked by .xyz filter – LuniZunie ツ(talk) 00:53, 4 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    @LuniZunie and Tempdispacc: Am I correct that this is for Qadri Shattari? It is a bit unclear from your request what it is the official website for, I now get the idea that it is for the page User:Tempdispacc. --Dirk Beetstra T C 05:33, 4 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Beetstra Oops! Yes sorry. – LuniZunie ツ(talk) 12:37, 4 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @LuniZunie: plus Added to MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist. --Dirk Beetstra T C 12:38, 4 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    sunrisetechs.com/react-native-architecture-performance

    [edit]
    1. I want to include this link in the React Native article.
    2. The article will benefit because this URL explains React Native’s newer architecture (Fabric + Hermes) neutrally and technically.
    3. This is the only URL I am requesting.

    I have a COI because I am associated with the site, so I am submitting transparently. Sam K Annavi (talk) 06:09, 18 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    healthline.com/about/about-us

    [edit]

    I want to include this link on the Healthline article. It serves as a self-admitted source that Healthline.com uses AI to help generate articles. The other available sources I can find state that the parent company Red Ventures uses AI generated articles, but do not enumerate this website specifically.

    sci-hub

    [edit]

    for use on sci-hub. site was redesigned and subpages, including the /about links current on the article, were removed. should be replaced with the working (and only) homepage links. ltbdl (talk) 06:08, 24 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The article link has already been WP:DEADLINK repaired. According to the WP:DEADLINK guidance, the original link still belongs in the citation template, so this will continue to be a problem until it is whitelisted. The source itself seems to be a reliable political poll result page, not available anywhere else as far as I can see. Ilvekset (talk) 13:19, 5 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
