Ever heard that expression? The same goes with the Wikipedia. If a page (usually a userpage) tells you not to go to a website, Don't do it! It might link to a site that contains a computer virus. Usually the user wants to see if you are smart enough not to go to the site. At least do a little research. But if you see this on a main page, delete it, for that is considered vandalism.

Note: Some articles which are specifically about destructive websites - for example, Last Measure - contain appropriate links to these sites.
