Warn when adding a url reference that matches the SpamBlacklist
- Problem: When you want to add a reference from the automatic option (to a Wikipedia article via Visual Editor), the user does not know if this url is registered in the SpamBlacklist before saving.
- Proposed solution: Warn when the url added as reference is registered in the SpamBlacklist, and thus prevent the warning from appearing when saving the page. This option is ideal for warning if a website added to a Wikipedia article is tagged as SPAM (even if that SPAM is from an unreliable source).
- Who would benefit: Visual Editor users
- More comments: The warning that the website to be referenced saves time, usually appears as an orange text warning (with the same way when show error that the url does not exist appears with the red text). Therefore, this warn text (maybe placed below the previewed reference) is not intrusive.

- This should probably be covered by T315072. Nardog (talk) 22:26, 24 January 2023 (UTC) [reply ]
- +1, @Nardog; great spot. Also, for some additional context, the Editing Team is actively working on a new project that I think this wish could fit neatly within. We're calling it "edit check" and the idea is to create ways for experienced volunteers to create "checks" that, when triggered, would offer people (particularly newcomers) actionable feedback about Wikipedia policies while they are editing. Please ping me if this sounds interesting to you; within the next week we'll be starting conversations on-wiki about this work. Oh, and if there are particular people who you think might value from participating in this project, we'd value knowing. PPelberg (WMF) (talk) 23:01, 1 February 2023 (UTC) [reply ]
