Blogger/Blogspot redundancy

edit

There are separate links to "Blogger" and "Blogspot," but these names refer to the same service.

BlogspotBlogspot redirects to Blogger (service). The undisambiguated title BloggerBlogger redirects to Blog, so that isn't the correct link target in this context.

Suggest replacing these two links with a single link similar to: Blogger/Blogspot --SoledadKabocha (talk) 18:46, 23 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

SoledadKabocha, the root ___domain does but blogs are still added with blogspot.com domains. ALL the time. Like, many times per day. Most of them spam. Guy (help!) 19:25, 23 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
My use of the wording "redirects to" refers to the redirects within Wikipedia, not the external domains. I'm not sure how any of that bears on the validity of the request anyway, which is about one of the links being both inadequately disambiguated and redundant. --SoledadKabocha (talk) 20:47, 23 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
If you disagree with the original proposal, could you just change the "Blogger" link to point to Blogger (service)? --SoledadKabocha (talk) 20:49, 23 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
I see that the redundant link has been removed, but the "Blogger" link that remains is still an un-piped link and therefore doesn't point to the correctly-disambiguated title as described above, which should be Blogger (service) or one of the redirects to it. --SoledadKabocha (talk) 23:43, 23 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
For clarity, please change [[Blogger]] to [[Blogger (service)|Blogger]]. --SoledadKabocha (talk) 18:30, 24 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Please also add Quora, Medium, Google Sites, and LinkedIn to the warning message as they are caught by the filter currently. – PharyngealImplosive7 (talk) 18:34, 18 July 2025 (UTC)Reply

Do we need such a giant list? Would just "An automated filter has identified this edit as containing references to a blogging / web host platform" suffice? * Pppery * it has begun... 15:54, 19 July 2025 (UTC)Reply
