Hello,We are replacing most of the functionalities ofMediaWiki:Spam-blacklist with a new special page calledSpecial:BlockedExternalDomains. In this special page, admins can simply add a domain and notes on the block (usually reasoning and/or link to a discussion) and the added domain would automatically be blocked to be linked in Wikis anymore (including its subdomains). Content of this list is stored inMediaWiki:BlockedExternalDomains.json. You can seew:fa:Special:BlockedExternalDomains as an example. Checkthe phabricator ticket for more information.
This would make fighting spam easier and safer without needing to know regex or accidentally breaking wikis while also addressing the need to have some notes next to each domain on why it’s blocked. It would also make the list of blocked domains searchable and would make editing Wikis in general faster by optimizing matching links added against the blocked list in every edit (seephab:T337431#8936498 for some measurements).
If you want to migrate your entries inMediaWiki:Spam-blacklist, there is a python script inphab:P49299 that would produce contents ofMediaWiki:Spam-blacklist andMediaWiki:BlockedExternalDomains.json for you automatically migrating off simple regex cases.
Note that this new feature doesn’t support regex (for complex cases) nor URL paths matching. Also it doesn’t support bypass by spam whitelist. For those, please either keep usingMediaWiki:Spam-blacklist or switch to an abuse filter if possible. And adding a link to the list might take up to five minutes to be fully in effect (due to server-side caching, this is already the case with the old system) and admins and bots automatically bypass the blocked list.
Let me know if you have any questions or encounter any issues. Happy editing.Amir (talk)09:41, 19 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
They were spamming on Wikipedia, later claimed that their account was hacked. They were blocked for having a compromised account. They have started editing Wikiversity. High risk of future vandalism. They should be blocked for having a compromised account, in spite of the fact that this is dubious, because of AGF.Janhrach (discuss •contribs)07:45, 30 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

TheaiCAMstir project is a non-commercial collaborative project on using Artificial Intelligence in Welding. We want to create a mirror of the www_aicamstir_com web site, before this will be taken down. We do not want to add the links to the project partners but include references to published papers. However, the software settings seems to restrict the use of web links, and recommended to get in touch with an admin (By the way, I am anexperienced Wikimedia user). Do you want to allow me, to insert weblinks into references?'aiCAMstir' (discuss •contribs)11:27, 1 February 2025 (UTC)Reply
