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.

Please consider using Special:BlockedExternalDomains instead, powered by the AbuseFilter extension. This is faster and more easily searchable, though only supports whole domains and not whitelisting.

  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 - 1183317587 after you have closed the request. See here for more info on logging.

orienstarpatches.com

This proposal was once rejected, but I re-list it as the spamming is still continuing. The editors are not deterred by numerous blocks, warnings and deletions. Blacklisting would be most effective against any further attempts.

zameenlocator.com

Socks have been adding this along with WP:COPYVIOs of the site. Judging from their comments that "(i)t is crucial that you reinstate all of my contributions and offer an apology to me" [1][2], I doubt they will stop on their own.

Proposed removals

bajajfinserv.in

This link should not be blocked as this is completely different website from bajajfinservhealth.in, The actual blocked website is bajajfinservhealth.in I couldn't find any option to adding a site for delisting that's why i have added here. Please correct if this is an error.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.36.213.80 (talk • contribs)

 Not done This link was heavily spammed by numerous accounts, so that's a big no. 11:27, 30 October 2023 (UTC)
