It is questionable how effective this spam blacklist is at keeping spam off of [[:Category:All|third-party wikis]]. Some spam might be targeted only at [[:Category:Wikimedia Foundation|Wikimedia Foundation]] wikis, or only at third-party wikis, which would make the list of little help to said third-party wikis. Also, some third-party wikis might prefer that users be allowed to cite sources that are not considered reliable on Wikipedia. Users may not always realize that, when a link is rejected as spammy, it does not necessarily mean that the individual wiki he is editing has specifically chosen to ban that URL. | It is questionable how effective this spam blacklist is at keeping spam off of [[:Category:All|third-party wikis]].
