Does `allowed link domains` include subdomains?

Quick question!

If I add, for example, “fedoraproject.org” to the list of allowed link domains, will this also include docs.fedoraproject.org, ask.fedoraproject.org, etc., or should those be listed separately?

The allowed link domains setting does not include subdomains. You will need to list each subdomain separately. The relevant source code is here:

github.com

discourse/discourse/blob/main/lib/guardian/post_guardian.rb#L20

    
      
          def link_posting_access
            if unrestricted_link_posting?
              'full'
            elsif SiteSetting.allowed_link_domains.present?
              'limited'
            else
              'none'
            end
          end
          
          
def can_post_link?(host: nil)
            return false if host.blank?
          
          
  unrestricted_link_posting? ||
              SiteSetting.allowed_link_domains.split('|').include?(host)
          end
          
          
# Can the user act on the post in a particular way.
          #  taken_actions = the list of actions the user has already taken
          def post_can_act?(post, action_key, opts: {}, can_see_post: nil)
            return false unless (can_see_post.nil? && can_see_post?(post)) || can_see_post
