MediaWiki talk:Spam-blacklist
MediaWiki talk:Spam-blacklist is a MediaWiki discussion page that is used to propose and discuss changes to the spam blacklist. The spam blacklist is a list of URLs that are prohibited from being added to pages on the wiki. This is a preventative measure against spam and vandalism.
Purpose[edit source]
The primary purpose of the MediaWiki talk:Spam-blacklist page is to facilitate discussions about potential additions or removals from the spam blacklist. This is typically done in response to observed patterns of spam or vandalism, or when a previously blacklisted URL is no longer deemed a threat.
Process[edit source]
When a user proposes a change to the spam blacklist, they must provide a rationale for their proposal on the MediaWiki talk:Spam-blacklist page. Other users can then comment on the proposal, providing their own arguments for or against the change. The final decision is typically made by an administrator or other trusted user, based on the consensus reached in the discussion.
Guidelines[edit source]
There are several guidelines that users are expected to follow when participating in discussions on the MediaWiki talk:Spam-blacklist page. These include:
- Providing a clear and concise rationale for any proposed changes.
- Treating other users with respect and assuming good faith.
- Avoiding personal attacks or other disruptive behavior.
- Following the consensus decision-making process.
