MediaWiki talk:Titleblacklist


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

    The disallowed titles list is maintained as a system message MediaWiki:Titleblacklist.

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

    Foo <autoconfirmed|noedit|errmsg=blacklisted-testpage> 
    Bar #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 page
    • casesensitive — don't ignore case when checking title for being disallowed
    • 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.

    Only administrators, page movers and template editors can override this list on all actions. When they override this list when creating or editing a page, MediaWiki:Titleblacklist-warning is displayed. Account creators can override this list on account creations only.

    The disallowed usernames list is handled at meta:Title blacklist by adding entries with the <newaccountonly> parameter.
