In our Wiki Installation (internal) we often post links. For the first time I have now this message:

The text you wanted to save was blocked by the spam filter.
This is probably caused by a link to a blacklisted external site.

The following text is what triggered our spam filter: uservoice.com

I mean uservoice.com should not be black listed?

How to change that? We are using the MediaWiki software installed on our own servers.

You are probably using the global blacklist via Extension:SpamBlacklist. Unfortunately it's maintained by people who mainly care about the English Wikipedia and don't mind much if other wikis are hurt by the rules. You can use your wiki's MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist page to override remote rules.

  • I tried the MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist, but I don't know what sytax to use there.

It looks like it's just a matter of editing the spam blacklist file. See the tutorial for that extension.
