Revision as of 10:02, 10 October 2008

    Protected User:XLinkBot/RevertList has been protected so that only administrators may edit it due to its high sensitivity.
    To request a change to it, please list a request here.

    User:XLinkBot/RevertList is meant to be used by User:XLinkBot. Unlike the meta spam blacklist and the local spam-blacklist, the revertlist does not disable the use of a link, but its addition gets reverted if there is significant inappropriate use (by unestablished editors). Any administrator may edit the RevertList and the accompanied override and lock-lists (User:XLinkBot/OverrideList, User:XLinkBot/HardOverrideList, User:XLinkBot/UserLocks, User:XLinkBot/PageLocks.

    Dealing with requests
    Any admin unfamiliar with this page should probably read this first, thanks
    1. User:XLinkBot generally reverts only new users (users who created an account less than 7 days ago), and IP-users, hence, users which are generally not familiar with our Policies and guidelines. This can be altered by the settings and override and lock lists.
    2. Does the link generally get used in an inappropriate way by unestablished users, but does it not qualify for the meta spam blacklist or the local spam-blacklist since there are documents on the same server that should/could be used as an external link or reference?
    3. Make the entry at the bottom of the list (before the last line). Please do not do this unless you are familiar with regex — the disruption that can be caused is substantial.
    4. Close the request entry on here using either {{done}} or {{not done}} as appropriate. The request should be left open for a week maybe as there will often be further related sites or an appeal in that time.
    5. Log the entry. Warning: if you do not log any entry you make on the blacklist, it may well be removed if someone appeals and no valid reasons can be found. To log the entry, you will need this number - 244341335 after you have closed the request. See here for more info on logging.

    There are 4 sections for posting comments below. Please make comments in the appropriate section. The sections are: Proposed additions, Proposed removals, Troubleshooting and problems, and Discussion. Each section has a message box with instructions. In addition, please sign your posts with ~~~~ after your comment.

    Flickr.com

    Free hosting site for images, not sure about abuse, therefore posting here to monitor:

    Comment Some images on Flickr are hosted under a Creative Commons Licence. Some of those (not all) are suitable for use on Wikipedia. Blocking of this site could create problems for existing images uploaded to Wikipedia, and prevent future images being used when they may be needed to illustrate an article. Mjroots (talk) 11:13, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
    This is not blocking, this is reverting inappropriate additions, which, I am afraid, is true for most of the additions by unestablished editors of domains on this list. If they are needed, they can be re-added by reverting the bot, etc. etc. Also, the image namespace is not reverted by the bot. --Dirk Beetstra T C 10:07, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

    Not sure what you want .. it is on the blacklist, so it can't be added anyway. Adding it here would not help anyway.  Not done --Dirk Beetstra T C 14:46, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

    Lulu.com is not blacklisted, I already requested it to be taken off the blacklist and was told it is not on it.

    lulu is here on the list: MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist (search for '\blulu\.com\b'), and can not be linked to. It is a (generally) unreliable site, and should not be linked to. Who told you to contact me here? --Dirk Beetstra T C 15:03, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

    will this automatically remove it? ChiragPatnaik (talk) 16:31, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
    Nope, it will now automatically revert it when an unestablished editor (including IPs) are adding it, anyone older than 7 days can add it without problems. As you say that the site does have some info, this seems to be a good site for on this list. I am afraid that someone will have to go through all the pages that now use the link, and clean those which are inappropriate. --Dirk Beetstra T C 13:19, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
