MediaWiki talk:Titleblacklist


 * ''The following instructions were copied from mw:Extension:Title Blacklist.

The title blacklist is maintained as a system message MediaWiki:Titleblacklist.

This page consists of regular expressions, each on a separate line, for example:

Foo  [Bb]ar #No one should create article about it

There is no need to use "^" at the beginning, and "$" at the end, these are added automatically.

Each entry may also contain optional attributes, enclosed in  and divided by
 * autoconfirmed — only non-autoconfirmed users are unable to create/upload/move such pages
 * noedit — users are also unable to edit this article
 * casesensitive — don't ignore case when checking title for being blacklisted
 * errmsg — the name of the message that should be displayed instead of standard

When the action is blocked, one of the following messages is displayed together with the filter row (as $1): titleblacklist-forbidden-edit, titleblacklist-forbidden-move, titleblacklist-forbidden-new-account or titleblacklist-forbidden-upload. Generic filenames have their own custom error message, MediaWiki:Titleblacklist-custom-imagename.

There is also MediaWiki:Titlewhitelist and a global title blacklist.

Administrators and users with the account creator right can override this list.
