Need Syntax definition / explanation for pop-up blocker - apparently wildcards are not required, but this isn't specified.

This question has been asked, but was rejected unanswered. The response states that you must add the full url. It would be more useful to state that you need the base url only, which will then take out any subdomains etc.

The article above explains in nicely.
I"m writing a desktop checklist for 5000 end users of an online homelessness data collection program, and I need to add our site to their exception list.
I interpreted the instructions to list the URL of every site on the domain. I thought this was unlikely, so kept searching. To the letter, the instructions suggest you enter:
www.mysite.com www.mysite.com/help www.mysite.com/home www.mysite.com/faq
etc etc
instead of www.mysite.com
Thanks!

You can only make an exception for a domain and a sub domain (mysite.com www.mysite.com) and not for subdirectories on a domain (www.mysite.com/help -> www.mysite.com)
Yes that's correct. By adding mysite.com you are also blocking mysite.com/home.
But it's not defined clearly in the documentation.
