==Blacklist?== If these is a blacklist please add to avoid incorrect image links * images.google.com * images.google.co.uk [[User:Notjusttired|notjusttired]] ([[User talk:Notjusttired|talk]]) 07:19, 21 January 2019 (EST) :I had a similar thought, [[User:Notjusttired]]. As far as this white list is concerned, I think it only works to turn off the CAPTCHA, so I think it would be a different operation to block sites altogether (if that's possible), but, it had likewise occurred to me there may be some links we should intentionally exclude from the white list, i.e. leave the CAPTCHA in place for. I'd also suggest :*Wikipedia :*WebMD :As with images.google.com, there will be instances where it makes sense to add these (BTW: this search tool is great for finding the handful of Google Images that are free use: https://search.creativecommons.org/ ), but on the whole they are not reliable sources of scientific information (Wikipedia because [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_is_not_a_reliable_source anyone can edit at any time]; WebMD because of pay for play issues--see [https://www.cbsnews.com/news/webmds-depression-test-has-only-one-sponsored-answer-youre-at-risk/ CBS article], [https://www.vox.com/2016/4/5/11358268/webmd-accuracy-trustworthy Vox article]) so I feel like we may not want to make it easier to add those. [[User:Canele|Canele]] ([[User talk:Canele|talk]]) 13:49, 21 January 2019 (EST) ::I've recently realized that certain full text links always break over time since the link comes from a Content Delivery Network (CDN) - I would like to blacklist the websites that do this and then it doesn't accidentally happen again. Example: ''A case of pervasive refusal syndrome: A diagnostic conundrum'' - [https://s3.amazonaws.com/academia.edu.documents/41714722/A_case_of_pervasive_refusal_syndrome_A_d20160129-31685-g3m55b.pdf?=AKIAIWOWYYGZ2Y53UL3A&Expires=1538925554&Signature=tytBEMLzNBtda1HNU7dYx5DR6DY%3D&response-content-disposition=inline%3B%20filename%3DA_case_of_pervasive_refusal_syndrome_A_d.pdf link I bookmarked (now broken)] vs [https://s3.amazonaws.com/academia.edu.documents/41714722/A_case_of_pervasive_refusal_syndrome_A_d20160129-31685-g3m55b.pdf?AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAIWOWYYGZ2Y53UL3A&Expires=1555972514&Signature=2qPmDmMmPIyCSoPK1CRktMNPtHg%3D&response-content-disposition=inline%3B%20filename%3DA_case_of_pervasive_refusal_syndrome_A_d.pdf link working today] - this article is also on researchgate which won't change the links - so '''s3.amazonaws.com''' could be blacklisted to avoid a link that will change later (although even using an Abstract would be better than s full text link that would break later). Other suggestions to blacklist would be shortened links that redirect eg '''bit.ly''' or shortened Amazon links (which could contain affiliate codes too, earning money to unknown people). Thoughts? ::Secondly, blocking links to images.google.com and www.google.com or goo.gl shortlinks doesn't prevent images bring found there - it just means the person must properly click through to the proper link instead of accidentally linking to a search results page. E.g. for a WikiMedia thyroid image 3 different links could be used - [https://images.app.goo.gl/couFwN3Amsw8BMy39 Google results link - should be blacklisted] or [https://www.google.com/search?q=thyroid+gland&tbm=isch&tbs=sur:fc&prmd=insv&hl=en&ved=2ahUKEwjK2uSN1uThAhXa_IUKHZLkCg8Q3J8EegQIARAS&biw=375&bih=537#imgrc=mQJZFden9cjjeM better Google result image] - or [https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/fd/Thyroid_gland-kr.svg permanent link to WikiMedia - same picture] ::Would a blacklist message including a link be possible, to explain why? [[User:Notjusttired|notjusttired]] ([[User talk:Notjusttired|talk]]) 17:58, 22 April 2019 (EDT) :::Seems like a very reasonable proposal, I'm just not aware of a means to implement it. Can say Wikipedia doesn't have any such mechanism but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist in MediaWiki software somewhere. [[User:Canele|Canele]] ([[User talk:Canele|talk]]) 21:45, 22 April 2019 (EDT) ::::I thought the Blacklist option came with ConfirmEdit (which manages the Whitelist) - but it turns out it doesn't and another extension should be needed. I don't think it's worth it so going to leave this alone. [[User:Notjusttired|notjusttired]] ([[User talk:Notjusttired|talk]]) 09:13, 23 April 2019 (EDT)
