Community Wishlist Survey 2023/Admins and patrollers/In Spam blacklist, allow sysops to enable blacklisting only on some namespaces
In Spam blacklist, allow sysops to enable blacklisting only on some namespaces
- Problem: Adding a website on Mediawiki:Spam-blacklist prohibits everyone from adding the website everywhere on the wiki. But this is not always relevant: in many cases, it's only needed to prevent the website addition on mainspace, and the technical prohibition to use the URL on talk pages complicates discussions.
- Proposed solution: Allow sysops to select, for each website added to the Spam blacklist, to which namespaces the prohibition is enabled. It would require to change/improve the currently raw interface of Mediawiki:Spam-blacklist.
- Who would benefit: Everyone discussing spam or quality of sources.
- More comments: Two examples of cases in which the blacklisting of an URL on all namespaces creates problems:
- it's sometimes needed to discuss a blacklisted website by citing specific URLS;
- adding the website to the spam-blacklist is often the subject of a prior discussion (on fr-wp, often on the talk page dedicated to the evaluation of sources quality, or on the antispam project talk page) with references of specific URL of the website. Once the website is blacklisted, it is not possible to archive the talk page, as it contains blacklisted URL.Improving Spam-blacklist interface would be an opportunity to add a specific area/text box dedicated to comments (the reason why each website has been blacklisted).

- A very simple method to abuse this would be to create a blank page in a little-watched namespace where this link is permitted; transclude the new page in an article; after that add the link to the new blank page. If implemented, this request must have a simple method to prevent this. Animal lover 666 (talk) 21:16, 2 February 2023 (UTC)
- I think a more interesting fix would be implementing MCR for the spam whitelist, which I filed a while ago as phab:T203157. Then however the local wiki has decided to make edit requests can do so much more locally and quickly. Izno (talk) 06:58, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
