Intro

Not wanting our readers to fall into any terrible pitfalls of malware or other, we have created a URL whitelist. Any address at that exact hostname is OK (see example). Clearly for some of these sites, we are delegating responsibility to ensure that the content is clean.

Example: I link to wikipedia.org/wiki/Something, not allowed. I link to www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Something, allowed. Reason: wikipedia.org isn't on the list, whereas www.wikipedia.org is.

Currently Allowed External Links

       'www.aldergrange.com',
       'mrsweir.atspace.com',
       'brgswiki.org',
       'stats.brgswiki.org',
       'clipse.hopto.org',
       'creativecommons.org',
       'www.brgswiki.org',
       'www.brgs.org.uk',
       'www.facebook.com',
       'www.mediawiki.org',
       'www.physicsgames.net',
       'uncyclopedia.org',
       'android.wiki.com',
       'meta.wikimedia.org',
       'en.wikipedia.org',
       'www.wikipedia.org',
