In this special page, admins can simply add a domain and notes on the block (usually reasoning and/or link to a discussion) and the added domain would automatically be blocked to be linked in Wikis anymore (including its subdomains). Content of this list is stored in [[MediaWiki:BlockedExternalDomains.json]]. You can see [[:w:fa:Special:BlockedExternalDomains]] as an example. Check [[phab:T337431|the phabricator ticket]] for more information. This would make fighting spam easier and safer without needing to know regex or accidentally breaking wikis while also addressing the need to have some notes next to each domain on why it’s blocked. It would also make the list of blocked domains searchable and would make editing Wikis in general faster by optimizing matching links added against the blocked list in every edit (see [[phab:T337431#8936498]] for some measurements). If you want to migrate your entries in [[MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist]], there is a python script in [[phab:P49299]] that would produce contents of [[MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist]] and [[MediaWiki:BlockedExternalDomains.json]] for you automatically migrating off simple regex cases. Note that this new feature doesn’t support regex (for complex cases) nor URL paths matching. Also it doesn’t support bypass by spam whitelist. For those, please either keep using [[MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist]] or switch to an abuse filter if possible. And adding a link to the list might take up to five minutes to be fully in effect (due to server-side caching, this is already the case with the old system) and admins and bots automatically bypass the blocked list. Let me know if you have any questions or encounter any issues. Happy editing.

[[User:MathXplore|MathXplore]] ([[User talk:MathXplore|talk]]) 06:08, 20 March 2024 (UTC) : (Possible reason for categorization overlap) In my understanding, sex and sexuality are not the same. English Wiktionary refers to sex for sexual actions, while sexuality refers to sexual preferences. The range of categorization usually follows English Wiktionary (exceptions may exist, let me know if you see anything different). On the other hand, many versions of Wiktionaries add duplicate categories to single entries. This practice aims to make a word list for every level of the categorization scheme. I guess the categorization overlap of category:sex and category:sexuality comes from here. I think words specific to sexuality should go to the category:sexuality without being added to category:sex. However, we are the Simple English Wiktionary, and to make things simple, the category duplication practice must be re-considered in some cases (for example, science vs. pseudoscience, etc.). In the same manner, category merges may need to be discussed, to reduce confusion. What do our editors think about this? [[User:MathXplore|MathXplore]] ([[User talk:MathXplore|talk]]) 06:31, 20 March 2024 (UTC) ::It seems to me that currently the "sex" category is mostly sex acts, while "sexuality" is mostly unused.
