I'd like to be able to link to: http://maketheshift.uservoice.com/forums/168487-ideas-submission/suggestion… from project and talk pages on en.WP, but the site is blacklisted, I know there's a whitelist-request page, but my experience is that that can take many months, and the event is next month. Can an admin assist in expediting the whitelisting, please? Oh and anyone who wants to can sign up and express support *hint*. -- Andy Mabbett @pigsonthewing http://pigsonthewing.org.uk

This link also seems to be blocked from being posted to uk.wikimedia.org - does anyone know why? Thanks, Mike

As Richard mentioned, it's on the Global blacklist at Meta-Wiki, so you would need to add that link manually to the local whitelist of each wiki that you wish to use the link. The whole domain was added quite a while ago because it was being used for presumably abusive URL shorteners from what I remember looking at the Meta blacklist history.
