Talk:Spam blacklist

I think that user User:Mojakabira was trying to promote their own websites and a cryptocurrency at the following pages: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolly_(sheep) https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolly_(sheep) https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolly_(schaap) They are already blocked on enwiki. They have created a new subsection and posted about the cryptocurrency and a link to the website. Website is just 35 days old and owner/admin of the website has the same username: usdolly.rocks/index.php/author/mojakabira/ Thank you. Margarita byca (talk) 17:17, 20 December 2024 (UTC) Reply

Declined It's just one user. It's better to discuss or block rather than resort to blacklisting. XXBlackburnXx (talk) 05:55, 23 December 2024 (UTC) Reply

This domain is of significant reference value in the following Wikipedia articles: 1. Solar_energy (as a reference for photovoltaic product manufacturing and supply) 2. Lithium_ion_battery (providing technical and product-related data for lithium-ion batteries)

• • Reason:**

Neexgent.com is a professional website specializing in new energy solutions, offering detailed industry insights and authoritative data. 1. The website content has been thoroughly improved, with all potential spam or promotional content removed. 2. The provided content is highly relevant to Wikipedia articles, including fields like renewable energy technologies, solar energy products, and lithium battery packs. 3. The site now fully complies with all external link policies and aims to provide valuable reference material for readers.

Please consider removing it from the global blacklist to support the enhancement and supplementation of related articles.

Declined not listed on the global blacklist. Defer to w:en:Mediawiki talk:spam-blacklist (although I highly recommend using a different IP – not a cloud hosting IP like the ones you used to spam) XXBlackburnXx (talk) 18:14, 24 December 2024 (UTC) Reply

This does not seem to be a url shortener (any more), but a hosting platform (such as myspace or so). It seems that several artists have their main profile there. So i guess it should be removed. But I'm not sure.

It seems now to redirect to 'linkfire.com', which is a music promotion platform

Guess we don't need to use lnk.to, we can use the actual link. Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} (en: U, T) 11:04, 1 December 2024 (UTC) Reply

lnk.to isn't exactly a link shortener (though the domain is short); it's more like a link aggregator that functions similarly to a redirector. It's only meant for influencers with an expensive subscription, so I wouldn't mind if it's removed. XXBlackburnXx (talk) 13:14, 4 December 2024 (UTC) Reply

This is not done yet, so I took it back here from archive. -- seth (talk) 14:21, 21 December 2024 (UTC) Reply

It seems that there are lnk.to URLs which don't redirect to other URLs, for example bacwirdmaljemand.lnk.to/bio is not a redirect.

The International Sports Federation ISU (https://isu.org) has been posting all documents on azurefd.net (which is on the spam blacklist), since updating its website. Links to the documents of this federation are often placed in Wikipedia articles as sources. As a consequence, it is not possible to publish an edit with such a link now. I don't know much about the spam blacklist system, so if there are other ways to use these links in Wikipedia articles without problems, please advise, and I'll close this discussion in that case.--Beonus (talk) 15:48, 23 December 2024 (UTC) Reply

Special:Diff/187527 added an entry for static\.net that was later tightened up to \bstatic\.net, presumably to avoid tripping up a domain like "examplestatic.net". However, a user on the OpenStreetMap Wiki has discovered that this rule still blocks the user-content.gitlab-static.net domain, which GitLab uses to cache external content that's embedded in Markdown documents or attached to comments. In this particular case, I'm going to suggest that the user refrain from linking to GitLab static content for unrelated reasons, but I'm guessing this domain has nothing to do with the original context behind this entry. Could it be modified to \.static\.net like many of the other entries? Thanks! – Minh Nguyễn ^💬 18:49, 8 December 2024 (UTC) Reply

@Mxn: Done! Honestly we could probably just remove it. It's almost 20 years old, and I’m not even sure what it was meant to catch... XXBlackburnXx (talk) 20:01, 9 December 2024 (UTC) Reply

Agreed this should be removed. static.net is 404 these days. * Pppery * _{it has begun} 06:01, 16 December 2024 (UTC) Reply

• See also Talk:Spam_blacklist/Archives/2023-08#*.azurefd.net. Note, these are appear to be on one subdomain, but subdomain whitelisting is only available on local projects. — xaosflux ^Talk 02:49, 23 December 2024 (UTC) Reply

  Also, deactivated the immediate edit request - there is a discussion section above for removal requests - please migrate this there. — xaosflux ^Talk 02:50, 23 December 2024 (UTC) Reply

  Thanks for the reply, moved the request. Beonus (talk) 15:49, 23 December 2024 (UTC) Reply
