There is a consensus to exclude the 8chan website from the external links section. Most editors agree that our moral obligation to not facilitate access to a website notable for containing child pornography overrides any benefit to the project derived from giv[ing] the reader the opportunity to see what the subject says about itself (WP:ELOFFICIAL).
Consensus can change, but not without another similar community discussion as happened when that consensus was formed. Please do not boldly re-add the link without starting another talk page discussion which directly addresses the closing statement and arguments brought up in the first discussion.

I fully understand and accept the consensus that there should be no link in the Infobox. But is it OK to add the URL as plain text, without it being an actual link? —theMainLogan (t•c) 07:48, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see what the benefit of that is. Just seems like a way of bypassing the consensus to not include a link, IMHO. GnocchiFan (talk) 11:27, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Agree. The URL should be omitted per consensus, regardless of whether it's hyperlinked or not. GorillaWarfare (she/her • talk) 16:16, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
