Settings would generally be the spam blacklist. This way users may retrieve it or not (Add your motivation for this property here.) --- Jura 11:49, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion

[edit]
 Comment I see the need, but isn't there an existing qualifier we could use for this? object named as (P1932) maybe? ArthurPSmith (talk) 18:07, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment Besides object named as (P1932) another way to look at this through "internet eyes" that might work, Wikimedia Commons namespace (P2307), could be reused in a pinch here without breaking anything, since it's just String. Domains are indeed Namespaces https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Namespace --Thadguidry (talk) 19:54, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't get that explanation. In general, properties (as any other entity on Wikidata) shouldn't be repurposed, so I don't see how we could use P2307. If you want to do an alternate proposal with that could include the above, I don't mind looking into it. --- Jura 20:13, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
 Strong oppose the url blacklist is designed to prohibit inclusion of certain urls, and while I understand that sometimes there is a valid need to report such urls, I don't think we should do it as a qualifier to an official website that is unknown, since it is known, and more importantly I don't think it should be available to add like this to then be retrieved as structured data easily - we don't want to report links that include outing, etc. Also, I can immediately imagine a gadget that reads these and converts them to links for the user, and that would allow effectively bypassing the blacklist - even if this isn't a gadget and users have to manually import a user script or something, it still allows circumventing the blacklist which is undesirable. --DannyS712 (talk) 01:23, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
