Template:Onion URL/doc

Usage

To be used to provide Tor/Onion links, analogously to {{URL}}. Provide the domain name, without .onion, as the first parameter.

You can use this template in a few forms, depending on if you need the link to have a sub domain, sub-directory, or the link is whitelisted.

Non autoconfirmed users may encounter filter 231 when attempting to add Onion urls. To prevent this, refrain from putting a space between the template and the url. Write {{Onion URL|URL}}, not {{Onion URL| URL}}.

• For most onion sites, which are automatically blacklisted, use {{Onion URL|facebookcorewwwi}} produces:

  facebookcorewwwi.onion Tor network^{(Accessing link help)}

• For onion sites where you've obtained a whitelist exemption, you may use {{Onion URL|facebookcorewwwi|whitelisted=yes}} which produces:

  facebookcorewwwi.onion Tor network^{(Accessing link help)}

IMPORTANT: Currently wikipedia has a blacklist on most .onion links. Before using this template to produce hyperlinks, it is necessary to request a whitelisting of the intended link! Current whitelisted sites (as of 19 Sep 2023 -- search the MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist for the string ".onion" to find all whitelisted sites):

• facebookcorewwwi.onion
• facebookwkhpilnemxj7asaniu7vnjjbiltxjqhye3mhbshg7kx5tfyd.onion
• silkroadvb5piz3r.onion
• eqt5g4fuenphqinx.onion
