There is a regular expression \bxyz\b in the block list. I did not find it's entry in the log. I think this is a mistake. It blocks any website with `.xyz` at the end. There is already a request to whitelist `hypercubing.xyz`, seems to be a website with innocent content. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.70.111.20 (talk) 16:55, 1 October 2024 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241001165500","author":"88.70.111.20","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-88.70.111.20-20241001165500-Why_is_'xyz'_blocked?","replies":["c-Ravensfire-20241001172700-88.70.111.20-20241001165500","c-Pppery-20241018222400-88.70.111.20-20241001165500","c-Anachronist-20241019032800-88.70.111.20-20241001165500"]}}-->

Experience with that TLD has shown that's it's mostly junk, unreliable sites that generated a significant amount of spam here. The initial discussion on it is MediaWiki_talk:Spam-blacklist/archives/June_2020#.xyz_TLD. For the low percentage of sites that are good sources, whitelisting has worked.
