I would like to propose that a specific page on the Telegram domain be whitelisted for the following reasons:

Reason for Whitelisting: The Telegram bot link (t.me/robin_gold_game_bot and t.me/robingoldgame) is essential for users who want to directly access and interact with the Robin Gold game. The game is primarily available on Telegram, and including this link would significantly benefit users seeking easy access to the game platform. This is particularly relevant as Robin Gold's unique gameplay mechanics and social features are integrated directly into Telegram, which is not available on other platforms. The link does not lead to any malicious content or violate any Wikipedia guidelines, and it offers genuine utility to the readers interested in exploring the game further.

Benefit to Specific Articles: The inclusion of this link would directly benefit the Robin Gold article on Wikipedia, which discusses the mobile tapping game developed by Robin Gold Games. The game's primary platform is Telegram, and including the bot link in the article would provide direct access to the game, enhancing user experience and engagement. This would also help in verifying the legitimacy and availability of the game on Telegram, as mentioned in the article. Additionally, any future articles related to games or applications hosted on Telegram would benefit from the ability to link directly to their respective bots.

Specific Link to be Added: The link proposed for whitelistings are: t.me/robin_gold_game_bot and t.me/robingoldgame

Link Summary: t.me: Linksearch en (insource) - meta - de - fr - simple - wikt:en - wikt:fr • Spamcheck • MER-C X-wiki • gs • Reports: Links on en - COIBot - COIBot-Local • Discussions: tracked - advanced - RSN • COIBot-Link, Local, & XWiki Reports - Wikipedia: en - fr - de • Google: search • meta • Domain: domaintools • AboutUs.com

By whitelisting this specific page, Wikipedia can provide more comprehensive and practical information to its readers, particularly those interested in the Robin Gold game and other similar applications hosted on Telegram.

Thank you for considering this request.

@Robingoldgame:   Declined See WP:Username policy for your specific username issue, WP:COI and WP:PROMO for your now deleted draft, and also declining this request for these specific reasons. – robertsky (talk) 08:40, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
@Robingoldgame:   Declined, we never whitelist url shortened links, use the full link instead for clarity. --Dirk Beetstra T C 19:31, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

The number of signatories to the "Scrap Reservation from Everywhere" petition is corroborated only by the aforementioned weblink, which is my only primary source to the article Economically Weaker Section's historical base. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2405:201:6007:80e3:24cb:e3b4:9a79:d1ef (talk • contribs)

Only source for a planned/cancelled Macintosh version of Uboat (video game). The info isn't found on their Steam page or official site. --Mika1h (talk) 18:43, 4 August 2024 (UTC)

@Mika1h:   Added to MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist. With all of these requests I wonder whether the claim is really important enough to mention with only a primary source. But I trust you enough to let you make that call rather than having to make it myself. * Pppery * it has begun... 23:50, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

The website was blocked (I'd say unfairly so) in 2019, but I just need this specific page for Socialist Party of Ukraine. Far as I can tell, it's the only full copy online for this Ukrainian Supreme Court decision. Thanks. Sisuvia (talk) 12:20, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

devforum.roblox.com/t/creator-store-buy-and-sell-plug-ins-with-real-world-currency/2923445

Only source for the fact that Roblox changed the way to buy plugins in Roblox Studio from robux to real money, this is important as it is mentioned in the Roblox Studio article, but the citation for it is blacklisted as the main domain, roblox.com is blacklisted. Please whitelist. Cranloa12n / talk / contribs / 19:42, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

@Cranloa12n:   Declined This detail will almost certainly not survive the merge from Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Roblox Studio. If it is still needed after that AfD is closed and implemented feel free to re-request --* Pppery * it has begun... 23:33, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

web.archive.org/web/20150218141955/countrymusic.about.com/od/reviews/fr/Florida-Georgia-Line-Heres-To-The-Good-Times-Album-Review.htm

I'm not sure why or when About.com was blacklisted, as I've seen it used in lots of articles over the years and at least some conversations at the Reliable Sources Noticeboard have considered it acceptable. The url I'm trying to add is: web.archive.org/web/20150218141955/countrymusic.about.com/od/reviews/fr/Florida-Georgia-Line-Heres-To-The-Good-Times-Album-Review.htm

The original link is already used as a review on the page Here's to the Good Times, so it's strange that I can't add the archived version of the url. --Jpcase (talk) 15:21, 9 August 2024 (UTC)

devforum.roblox.com/c/updates/release-notes/62

  • Similarly to the request listed two subsections ago, the inclusion of this link would benefit the Roblox Studio article. Its target seems to be the sole page at which Roblox lists the latest Studio releases at a fixed URL. Therefore, it can serve as a citation for the latest release of Roblox Studio in the infobox of the article.

This site has valuable info for the article Design smell, please unblock it for this article and the weblinks section Biggerj1 (talk) 13:24, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

  • The article Ban Liang has a reference from a website.The website is in blocked list so can't be added and also that url has archived form and can't be added as it saying that this website is blocked. the main url is a dead link and i was going to add archive url and it didn't work out.

@ClarkKentWannabe:   Declined. Forums are not reliable sources and I've nominated the list for AfD anyway --* Pppery * it has begun... 23:27, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
So, forums aren't reliable sources, despite the fact that the listing at the thread is sourced with the name of the film the particular fictional TV outlet is mentioned in, as well as the year of said film's release? Also, I've put in my opinion on the AfD you launched. ClarkKentWannabe (talk) 00:56, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

www.kickstarter.com/projects/versobooks/comrades-verso-needs-your-support-for-radical-publishing

I'd like to include the link on the Verso Books page in order to describe the publisher's funding issues in the wake of its UK distributor's bankruptcy. I haven't been able to locate any news coverage on the campaign, and Verso itself has not published about it elsewhere (e.g. on its blog). Especially important, as the Kickstarter page is currently the only source of the notable claim that Verso was owed "nearly £1 million" by Marston, at the time Marston entered administration.
