Can't the Blacklist be Per/Wiki?
I'm new to wikia, I'd like to move my wiki over here. But I hate the blacklist, several important links in my work are blocked. They are not porn, there is nothing wrong with them.

Isn't there any way to give each admin control of their own blacklist, instead of having a global blacklist?

Or is there any way I can get around the blacklist? Specifically I need netfirms and livevideo to work.

Thanks.

 * You can whitelist urls locally per wiki, see Help:Spam blacklist :) -- 03:47, January 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks, I searched around and could not find instructions on how to whitelist. Link?? Alexander Baker 03:53, January 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * You just need to create MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist on the wiki and then add urls to it in this fashion:

domain\.com subdomain\.domain\.com

 * Also, the best person to talk about moving your wiki to Wikia, is Angela. Contact her with questions about moving :) -- 04:02, January 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks for syntax help. Will contact Angela. Alexander Baker 04:12, January 10, 2010 (UTC)

problem
OK, this is making me nuts. I'm getting a blacklist for the letter "f". Whitelisting "f", "\f", "\f.com", nothing works. Good grief. Alexander Baker 04:42, January 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * That was a problem with the title blacklist, it should be fixed now. -- 04:43, January 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes, no longer a problem. Wow, things happen fast around here!

 * Sorry about the inconvenience, it was my fault and it got reverted as soon as it was noticed. Thanks for your help in tracking it down! Joey (talk) 05:00, January 10, 2010 (UTC)
