| Spam blacklists |
|---|
The Spam-whitelist page is used in conjunction with the MediawikiSpamBlacklist extension, and lists strings of text that override Meta'sblacklist and the localspam-blacklist.
Please enter your requests at thebottom of the page.Sign your requests with four tildes: ~~~~
Also in your request, please include the following:
Important: You must provide a full link to the specific web page you want to be whitelisted (leave out thehttp:// 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 ofMediaWiki talk:Spam-blacklist.
Note: Donot request links to be whitelisted where you can reasonably suspect that the material you want to link to is in violation of copyright (seeWP:LINKVIO). Such requests will likely be summarily rejected.
There is no automated notification system in place for the results of requests, and you willnot be notified when your request has a response. You should therefore add this page to your personal watch list, to your notifications through thesubscribe 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 arearchived, additions and removal arelogged. →snippet forlogging: {{/request|1327694568#section_name}}
Note that requests from new or unregistered users are not usually considered.

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 onreliability, please ask for opinions on theReliable 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 onexternal links, please get confirmation on theExternal 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.
Add new entries at thebottom of thispage. Completed requests will be marked with an appropriateIndicator thenarchived.

healthline.com/about/about-usI want to include this link on theHealthline 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 companyRed Ventures uses AI generated articles, but do not enumerate this website specifically.Masebrock (talk)01:27, 19 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The article link has already beenWP:DEADLINK repaired. According to theWP:DEADLINK guidance, the original link still belongs in the citation template, so this will continue to be a problem until it is whitelisted.

Contrarily, from his Wikipedia page's revision history never listed him from Costa Rica, but the birthday was indeed April 24, 2025, due to from theFamous Birthdays source at the time.[3]. The source then got deleted cause the website got blacklisted, and now the ref source for this is fromAP News in 2023,[4] which is probably got it from iMDb or other media outlets.[5][6] Keery refused to say the correct date in the interview. So, if the interview be consideredWP:PRIMARY, cause Keery may just joking (considering Keery also said using the birthday date as passwords), the main secondary source for the date now is from the AP News source.
Therefore, requesting the Famous Birthdays link (and the archived link) about Joe Keery to be whitelisted on the article for timeline/historical purpose, as the oldest known source for the birthday date (and Costa Rica thing), that leading to current AP News source.EdhyRa (talk)10:11, 11 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
