:: Hey {{u|GeneralNotability}} thanks for taking care of the wrong location :/ - my first time here in my many years and didn't pay attention.

:::{{u|KylieTastic}}, no worries!

==themoviedb.org (and tmdb.org)==<br />
Why is themoviedb.org (and its link-through tmdb.org) on the blacklist, when it very prominently features as a main data property on [[Wikidata]] ([https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q20828898 see "Wikidata property" section here])? I've had to hide instances (i.e. <nowiki><!-- themoviedb.org --> </nowiki>) on its page at [[The Movie Database]] accordingly, just to submit it's own English language page (Note. It already has a page on [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:EntityPage/Q20828898#sitelinks-wikipedia nine other WP languages]).<br><br />
Please remove. Thanks in advance. [[User:Jimthing|Jimthing]] ([[User talk:Jimthing|talk]]) 19:04, 21 December 2021 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:I would guess for the reasons that were laid out the last time you asked about this: [[MediaWiki_talk:Spam-blacklist/archives/February_2017#themoviedb.org_/_The_Movie_Database]] - [[User:MrOllie|MrOllie]] ([[User talk:MrOllie|talk]]) 21:41, 21 December 2021 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::That was several years ago, and things have certainly moved on. TMDb now appears on ''nine'' other WP language sites, and as previously mentioned above, has Wikidata properties. Link usage should now be allowed to follow similar sites like IMDb's usage: '''allowing "External links" section usage''', but remain not as citation sources. <br />
::To be clear, I am in no way affiliated to either site (although I used to be a contributor to IMDb for a while), and they each take their data from user generated content overseen by moderation. Hence they should both be treated ''equally'' in regards to external links section use accordingly. A bad actor(s) spamming TMDb as citations from years earlier should not be used as an excuse to ban the usage of links from a site indefinitely from external links sections.

<br />
:{{rto|Jimthing}} {{Declined}}. And you know very, very well why it is on the blacklist, Jimthing. You are very aware that Travis Bell was here promoting this site, you rewrote his draft which then got deleted, and now you are rewriting it again without significant notability. The only use of this site would be on its subject page, which can be handled by the whitelist. --[[User:Beetstra|Dirk Beetstra]] <sup>[[User_Talk:Beetstra|<span style="color:#0000FF;">T</span>]] [[Special:Contributions/Beetstra|<span style="color:#0000FF;">C</span>]]</sup> 06:54, 22 December 2021 (UTC)<br />
:: Again, the whole article has been re-written with a load of extra information now added. So please can admins actually consider the facts as they are ''today'' please, which have absolutely nothing to do with past actions. Otherwise we'd forever ban things because someone at some past time, ''years'' earlier, did something. This is completely unfair way to judge current editors, who have no relation with those events whatsoever. I really am getting fed up of these past events being used to tarnish my efforts, when I had absolutely no part in them. [[User:Jimthing|Jimthing]] ([[User talk:Jimthing|talk]]) 15:05, 22 December 2021 (UTC)<br />
:::{{rto|Jimthing}} Yes, there is a lot of info, and not a single reliable source showing it is notable. Anyway, with the passed spamming I would really just whitelist for one page - the subject page - and then do case-by-case evaluations whether it is useful elsewhere before de-listing. -- [[User:Beetstra|Dirk Beetstra]] <sup>[[User_Talk:Beetstra|<span style="color:#0000FF;">T</span>]] [[Special:Contributions/Beetstra|<span style="color:#0000FF;">C</span>]]</sup> 11:15, 23 December 2021 (UTC)<br />
::::{{rto|Beetstra}} While those discussions continue. Have WP considered renaming various [[Blacklist (computing)#Controversy over use of the term|Blacklist]] & Whitelist pages to Blocklist & Allowlist by now? Strange they remain on WP, TBH, as (outside the racism stuff) they're clearer.

:::::{{rto|Jimthing}} yes, but that is not something 'we' can solve on en.wikipedia. It needs the developers of the MediaWiki software to change it. Also the 'spam' part in the name is a misnomer - there are many sites on the list that are not there because of spam, but because of other forms of disruption or because of community consensus. Moreover, there are 'technical' issues which are problematic. Those requests to change/upgrade though are, as usual, pending.

:Support removal. Rather surprising to see this on the blacklist. Looking at the logs and the page history, it seems that this entry was [[MediaWiki_talk:Spam-blacklist/archives/March_2017#Immigration_law_refspam_round_3|pointed out]] as mistaken right after it had been first added ("This is a legitimate, relatively prominent Economics blog where relatively prominent economists([[Scott Sumner|Sumner]], [[Bryan Caplan]]) discuss current issues in econ"). A [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki_talk:Spam-whitelist&oldid=796639362#Whitelist_articles_on_Concise_Encyclopedia_of_Economics_(CEE) partial whitelisting of the site] several months later addressed some of the problems created by the initial block, but other relevant content remains blacklist. In any case, the supposed use in a paid edit happened almost half a decade ago, and I see no reason why (to pick a random example) the article [[Gustave de Molinari]] shouldn't link to the same online book as [[:de:Gustave_de_Molinari#Weblinks|the corresponding German Wikipedia article]]. Regards, [[User:HaeB|HaeB]] ([[User talk:HaeB|talk]]) 04:38, 29 December 2021 (UTC)<br />
::{{rto|HaeB}} because the subject of the page is the author, not the book. See [[WP:ELNO]], it is indirect. Moreover, I don’t see why we should link to a book that is not even mentioned in the text, and if it were to be added, our ISBN functionality is more than sufficient to find a copy. And since this book is now in the public domain, it can easily be added to wikisource.

everybodywiki.com seems to be scraping wikipedia including possibly drafts. I've noticed them a few times now used in AfC articles. A quick search showed only one, now-removed, use in mainspace but seeing as this will never be a reliable source should it be blacklisted?[[User:Slywriter|Slywriter]] ([[User talk:Slywriter|talk]]) 15:22, 22 December 2021 (UTC)<br />
:I've removed ''hundreds'' of links from this site; it's on a list of mirrors I watch for daily. In addition to mirroring the content of both main and draft spaces on Wikipedia, it's also a wide open wiki with zero editorial control. 90% of the time, this is used for self-promotional or spam articles. While I typically don't support adding mirrors to the blacklist, this one has been used abusively by a very large number of people. I'd be in favor of blacklisting it - there is absolutely zero chance of it ever being used as a source or an external link.
