URL redirect. It Is Me Here t / c 17:05, 5 July 2015 (UTC)
- It is a fully contained redirect service to a fully utilised service. I don't see that a blacklist is required. What are you seeing that is being abused? — billinghurst sDrewth 23:03, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

The first domain redirects to the second which is a malicious site containing malware. I removed 140 links from articles yesterday. Please see this thread at WP:AN on en.wiki.

sysoon.com
sysoon.com
The website was blacklisted a few years ago - including regex term "sysoon" ( globally blacklisted by \bsysoon\b ) becose there is more international websites worldwide sysoon.com, sysoon.uk, sysoon.be, sysoon.de, etc... Please check if blacklist is necessary anymore, becose there is many userful information to use (funeral and cemeteries resource, more languages suport, easy and fast research). My research show that new owner is not using any bad practices. In 2012 and 2015 - WebbyAwards honoree, or see article Article: The rise of the e-funeral—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 88.212.54.54 (talk) 11:58, 11 July 2015
- @88.212.54.54: We are not going to blanket unlist, one or several of these were spammed, hence the blanket blacklisting. It is possible to exclude one, or two, but there should be evidence that the sites are of use for Wikipedia, not whether blacklisting is still necessary - that is very difficult evidence to gather (if even possible): we've had spammers return shortly after blacklisting rules were removed from the list. --Dirk Beetstra T C (en: U, T) 03:20, 12 July 2015 (UTC)
- Declined Not actually required on projects as far as I can see - could always be whitelisted locally if a project had a need for a link. Herby talk thyme 13:20, 31 July 2015 (UTC)

Blacklist on topic
Hi Not sure about all the rules across this domain however we would like to link some external videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWo-hKTQ1wE on a specific page to show hydrographics techniques and product that can be found in Australia. It seems similar company around the work have done the same with no issues and some how we are not able to do. Can we please discuss this request with an admin so we can submit the information and links
- You should seek local whitelisting at English Wikipedia w:Mediawiki talk:Spam-whitelist for these urls to resolve your issue. The filter is to stop the gross and continual abuse that occurs, not to prevent the more limited educational material. — billinghurst sDrewth 00:27, 12 April 2015 (UTC)
derefer.unbubble.eu deblock
unbubble.eu
derefer.unbubble.eu
This authority is used 24.923 times in main space in dewiki!. It is used to clean up Special:Linksearch from known dead links, by redirecting them over this authority. It is hard to find a better solution for this task. --Boshomi (talk) 16:38, 24 July 2015 (UTC) Ping:User:BillinghurstBoshomi (talk) 16:49, 24 July 2015 (UTC)
- Please notice Phab:T89586, while not fixed, it is not possible to find the links with standard special:LinkSearch. in dewiki we can use giftbot/Weblinksuche instead.--Boshomi (talk) 18:04, 24 July 2015 (UTC)
- afaics derefer.unbubble.eu could be used to circumvent the SBL, is that correct? -- seth (talk) 21:30, 24 July 2015 (UTC)
- I don't think so, the redircted URL is unchanged, so the SBL works like the achive-URLs to the Internet Archive. --Boshomi (talk) 07:44, 25 July 2015 (UTC)
- It is not a stored/archived page at archive.org, it is a redirect service as clearly stated at the URL and in that it obfuscates links. To describe it in any other way misrepresents the case, whether deWP uses it for good or not. We prevent abuseable redirects from other services due to the potential for abuse. You can consider whitelisting the URL in w:de:MediaWiki:spam-whitelist if it is a specific issue for your wiki. — billinghurst sDrewth 10:09, 25 July 2015 (UTC)
- what I want to say was that the SBL-mechanism works in the same way like web.archive.org/web. A blocked URL will be blocked with unbubble-prefix to the blocked URL.--Boshomi (talk) 12:54, 25 July 2015 (UTC)
