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 two forms, depending on whether you have whitelisted the .onion domain.

  • 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 21 Aug 2017 -- search the MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist for the string ".onion" to find all whitelisted sites):

  • facebookcorewwwi.onion
  • silkroadvb5piz3r.onion
  • eqt5g4fuenphqinx.onion
  • dstormer6em3i4km.onion
