+Whitelisting
+============
+
+This guide will introduce you to Cordova's newest addition: Whitelists. It's intention is to be simple and easy to understand so new and senior Cordova developers can avoid errors while upgrading a project or creating a new one.
+
+Why was this introduced?
+------------------------
+
+A question I asked myself as soon as I got a error while debugging a project after upgrading to 1.6.1.
+
+This feature was introduced, for developers that weren't sanitizing their links, as to prevent an app state where there is no way back.
+
+Its current status
+------------------
+
+ * **iOS**: Full whitelist support
+ * **Android**: Unknown
+ * **Windows Phone**: Unknown
+ * **BlackBerry**: Unknown
+ * **WebOS, Symbian, Bada**: Unknown
+
+How to edit the whitelist?
+--------------------------
+
+**iOS**
+
+The easiest way of doing this is by going to your project's *cordova.plist* file and adding a new *String* to the *ExternalHosts* key. That's all!
+
+How should a whitelist key look like?
+-------------------------------------
+
+For example, if you want to add [google.com][1] to your whitelist all you have to do is add a new key, as described above, with the following value: `google.com`
+
+**Wildcards**
+
+You can also use wildcards on whitelist keys. If you want to enable all domains possible it's easy, just add a key with the value `*`. If you want to add all the sub-domains to the whitelist, just add a key with a value like this: `*.domain.com`.
+
+Be warned that you should not include a full URL, with the `http://` part, just the sub-domain/domain, like on the examples.
+
+The End
