Try looking at the story of the "Daily Mail ban" in the English Wikipedia. Daily Mail is not really fake news (it's just sensationalist, biased, and not that useful), and the ban is not hermetic, but that is much closer to the topic of fake news than hoaxes. The discussions around the "ban", and how it is actually enacted (or not) may say something interesting about Wikipedia's relationship with media.
Try to find other examples of such bans of bad sources. Some of them will probably be true fake news sources. It will be especially cool if you can find examples from different languages and not only English and French.
Looking at spam black lists and the talk pages associated with them may also be very revealing. Despite the title, it's not just for spam in the sense of repetitive digital advertising, but for all unwanted URLs. The lists definitely have sites for pornography and white supremacy, and although I can't recall an example (and I'm now writing from my phone and can't check conveniently), they probably have a lot of fake news sites.
If you find anything interesting, please share it with us! :)
For sure :)

Hi
I have been proposed to give a conference about wikipedia and fake news and to focus on very specific examples rather than general concepts. I already have a few ideas but any pointers to particularly interesting cases or discussions will be welcome.
Thanks for your help.
