Re: [Wikimedia-l] Getting Wikipedia whitelisted for Twitter DMs

[Jan Ainali]

Update: It seems that wikipedia.org, wikimedia.org and mediawiki.org links
now are whitelisted in DMs.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Getting Wikipedia whitelisted for Twitter DMs

[Srikanth Ramakrishnan]

Only twitter and Facebook links go thru DMs. I think if several people file
a support ticket for this we may achieve something. Else get Jimbo to send
a mail to the Twitter folks. Problem would be solved in no time. :)

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Getting Wikipedia whitelisted for Twitter DMs

[Luis Villa]

Everything I had seen suggests that no URLs go through, but a little
Googling suggests that there is a whitelist:
http://thenextweb.com/twitter/2013/11/04/handy-hacks-sending-links-via-twitters-direct-message/

That said, every other source I can find mentioning a whitelist points back
at that same article - no one seems to have independently confirmed that.
So I'll poke some folks but don't hold your breath :)

Thank you.

Some URLs go though, others do not. I doubt it's random ;-)

I can ask around, but I've not heard of them even having a whitelist for
this situation - do we know for a fact that's the case?

[Wikimedia-l] Getting Wikipedia whitelisted for Twitter DMs

[Andy Mabbett]

For some months, Twitter have been blocking most URLs in their direct
messages (DMs), supposedly as an anti-spam measure.

Do we have someone who has a contact there, who could ask them to
whitelist Wikimedia project URLs in DMs?
