Correct URL/malware concerns
One or more editors above presumably connected to this site, and  have disputed the URL for this site and claimed that the version with an embedded dash "putlocker-hd" has malware links. Per the Wikipedia policy on external links (not to mention plain common sense), links that host such malicious software should not be included. Please discuss any changes to the url here before restoring the embedded dash version. Please do not restore such a link without specifying here that 1: the link is not to an infected site and 2:that the link is to the correct and current version of Putlocker. Thank you.

Not long after, putlocker.is, which changed to putlockertv.is and subsequently putlockers.cc, was reported to redirect visitors to a scamming site.[17] As of May 2017, two working URLs are putlocker.rs, with a Serbian country code, and putlockerhd.is, with an Icelandic one.[citation needed]

this is spam by the websites owners and has no citation of any real relevant to original putlocker. 71.19.189.130 (talk) 21:37, 14 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. We really need some form of Reliable Source for all of these claims of the "correct" url.  Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 22:28, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

-To my knowledge, there's no 'official' site, just two alternate sites run by different people, each claiming to be the "new" or "official" replacement. As such, I wouldn't put ANY site there as 'official', until there is some sort of actual authentication of which of the followup sites should be considered the 'real' one.

 * Following my corrections over the clone sites, there's one person trying to persistently re-add the clone URL, using macedonian IP addresses. Funnily enough, putlockerhd.is seems to be registered to a macedonian. The original site, by contrast, was run out of Singapore, iirc. So, it certainly seems as if the person adding the URL is also the one who owns the site, and is trying to promote it. Probably not the smartest thing they did, unless you count trying to promote the url to me by using this wiki page as a reference, causing me to take a quick look.

 * my bad, was loking at the wrong url with the Singapore thing. Ignore that. Ktetch (talk) 18:55, 8 July 2017 (UTC)
