MediaWiki:Titleblacklist, the disallowed titles list, is used to prevent uploads, page moves, or creations/edits to certain pages. Depending on the entry in the disallowed titles list, some page titles can be edited by autoconfirmed users as well. This interface message or skin may also be documented on MediaWiki.org or translatewiki.net. The page forms part of the MediaWiki interface, and can only be edited by administrators and interface editors. To request a change to the page, add {{edit fully-protected}} to this page, followed by a description of your request. Consider announcing discussions you add here at Wikipedia:Village pump (technical) to bring more people to the discussion. |
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 |
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.
