Proposing the blacklisting of <code>\bkiwifarms\..*?\b</code> (regex suggested on [[:en:Special:Permalink/1108901037#kiwifarms.ru|en.wiki]]) — we already have <code>\bkiwifar\.ms\b</code> in the gBL, and linking to new iterations of this [[:en:kiwifarms|malicious hate site]] is dangerous and somewhat facilitates abuse. Ping {{u|billinghurst}} for technical comment on the regex (was tested and seems sound) — [[User:TheresNoTime|TheresNoTime]] ([[User talk:TheresNoTime|talk]] • she/her) 08:40, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

=== Russia-linked Pravda network and similar unreliable websites ===

Spam. --[[User:Martin Urbanec|Martin Urbanec]] ([[User talk:Martin Urbanec|talk]]) 18:19, 9 September 2022 (UTC)

See [https://dfrlab.org/2025/03/12/pravda-network-wikipedia-llm-x/] (and the links given in the article).

There are a few hundred websites, listed at [https://github.com/CheckFirstHQ/pravda-network-dissemination-data/blob/main/Wikipedia/results.csv] and [https://github.com/VIGINUM-FR/Rapports-Techniques/blob/main/202402%20-%20Portal%20Kombat/20241227_SGDSN_VIGINUM_NP_TLP-CLEAR_Portal-Kombat-domains.csv] which lead to russian propaganda or other unreliable mirrors of news websites.

At dewiki i guess, i will replace the links where it is possible and delete them otherwise. Afterwards i'll blacklist all mentioned URLs, even those which have (probably) not yet been used.

But i'm not sure whether this (or parts of it) should be done globally.

If there are any questions, maybe [[user:Mitte27]] might be able to help.

== Proposed additions (Bot reported) ==

{{messagebox

|text='''This section is for domains which have been added to multiple wikis as observed by a bot.'''

These are automated reports, please check the records and the link thoroughly, it may report good links! For some more info, see [[Spam blacklist/Help#COIBot_reports]]. Reports will automatically be archived by the bot when they get [[:Category:Stale XWiki reports|stale]] (less than 5 links reported, which have not been edited in the last 7 days, and where the last editor is [[User:COIBot|COIBot]]).

;Sysops

*If the report contains links to ''less than 5'' wikis, then only add it when it is really spam

*Otherwise just revert the link-additions, and close the report; closed reports will be reopened when spamming continues

*To close a report, change the LinkStatus template to closed ({{tlx|LinkStatus|closed}})

*Please place any notes in the discussion section ''below the HTML comment''

}}

===[[User:COIBot/XWiki|COIBot]]===

The LinkWatchers report domains meeting the following criteria:

* When a user mainly adds this link, and the link has not been used too much, and this user adds the link to more than 2 wikis

* When a user mainly adds links on one server, and links on the server have not been used too much, and this user adds the links to more than 2 wikis

* If ALL links are added by IPs, and the link is added to more than 1 wiki

* If a small range of IPs have a preference for this link (but it may also have been added by other users), and the link is added to more than 1 wiki.

== Proposed removals ==

{{messagebox

|text=This section is for proposing that a website be ''un''listed; '''please add new entries at the ''bottom'' of the section'''. Use a suitable 3rd level heading and display the ___domain name as per this example {{tlx|LinkSummary|targetdomain.com}}. Please do not add the protocol part of ___domain name, eg. <kbd>http</kbd>

Remember to provide the specific ___domain blacklisted, links to the articles they are used in or useful to, and arguments in favour of unlisting. Completed requests will be marked as {{tlx|removed}} or {{tlx|declined}} and archived.

<!--NEW REQUESTS FOR REMOVAL GO AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS SECTION-->

===NetNewsLedger===

{{LinkSummary|netnewsledger.com}}

Apparently this was blocked as a Blackhat SEO... Not sure where that comes from or even what it means really, but this is a legitimate news organisation for the Thunder Bay area of Ontario Canada. - [[User:Floydian|Floydian]] ([[User talk:Floydian|talk]]) 22:47, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

===change.org, petitions site===

{{LinkSummary|change.org}}

This Web site is blocked globally as <code>\.change\.to</code>, link shortener. <code>www.change.org</code>, specifically, is a site for starting and signing petitions, which I don't think should be blacklisted. A petition<ref>{{citation| title=Petition: End "Prince of Wales" title out of respect for Wales| website=Change.org | url=https://www.change.org/p/end-prince-of-wales-title-out-of-respect-for-wales | access-date=10 September 2022}} Number of signatures updated frequently.</ref> reported in the news<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-09-10 |title=Prince and Princess of Wales: William and Catherine to 'carve their own future' |url=https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/sep/10/william-and-catherine-named-prince-and-princess-of-wales-king-charles |access-date=2022-09-10 |website=the Guardian |language=en}}</ref> shouldn't be blacklisted. Useful specifically in the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_of_Wales Prince of Wales Wikipedia article], end of top section, supporting "a petition was launched calling for the abolition of the title".

{{Reflist|talk|title=}}

Added later: I see in a 2020 discussion [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=953457571#Change.org "Promoting irrelevant petitions is literally why it's on the blacklist"]. So maybe I should request that the particular ''End "Prince of Wales" title out of respect for Wales'' petition page, relevant and newsworthy I think, should be whitelisted.
