I started with all the links listed in

and then began running searches on random topics and pruning based on
that - chucking sites into the blacklist sinbin, or finding good sites
omitted from the list and adding them to the whitelist. At last count,
I had 200 sites on the nice list and 311 on the naughty list (but this
counts things like the Mirrors page as a single link, though they ban
dozens or hundreds of sites).

Perhaps we should encourage more WikiProjects to create lists like the
one displayed then add them into a category and someone could work on
a custom search that suitable to use across the project that is
continuously updated with more allow/black lists.

That would be an excellent idea, especially if they could then all be
{{subst}}ed into a single page - just as I can ban every site listed
in the consolidated WP:MIRRO page, so too I can *include* every site
listed on a page. It would probably be superior to the current AfD
template with just some normal Google/Books/News searches.
