| :* {{U|MSGJ}}, nothing on-wiki itself. There has been a little discussion on IRC about changing one of the tool specific messages to include this reason. I came up with the idea as a solution to a perceived issue where I was trying to create an account via the ACC process and spent an hour trying to find out why the requested username was hitting the title blacklist before I found that little line limiting it to 40 characters (it was a long username request, but the ] says that is not a reason in of itself to decline/take action). I could have save a fair chunk of my volunteering time if this request was already in place. :) — <span class="nowrap">{{U|]}}</span> <sup>(] • ] • ])</sup> 13:23, 3 June 2014 (UTC) | |||
Revision as of 13:23, 3 June 2014
- 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 <autoconfirmed|noedit|errmsg=blacklisted-testpage> 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.
Only administrators, account creators, and template editors can override this list.
| This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the Titleblacklist page. |

Protected edit request on 10 April 2014
 | This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
Please add the following entry:
# Deprecated type of location map definitions Template:Location map .* <errmsg=titleblacklist-custom-location-map>
(Note that the space between map and .* is important.) Location map definitions should be created as data modules now for performance reasons. There's already a huge backlog of templates that need to be converted, and there's no sense letting it get bigger. See also MediaWiki talk:Titleblacklist-custom-location-map.

Done — Forbidden account names
A note: the documentation at mw:Extension:Title Blacklist#Using TitleBlacklist to control user account creation says that forbidden account names need to be prefixed with "User:", so I have prefixed a few that were previously un-prefixed in this edit. Feel free to edit or undo if I have misunderstood this. — Mr. Stradivarius 10:54, 20 April 2014 (UTC)
Specific message for newaccounts
 | It is requested that edits be made to the following pages:
This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, so that an editor unfamiliar with the subject matter could complete the requested edits immediately.
Edit requests to fully protected pages should only be used for edits that are either uncontroversial or supported by consensus. If the proposed edit might be controversial, discuss it on the protected page's talk page before using this template. When the request has been completed or denied, please add the |
Please create MediaWiki:Titleblacklist-forbidden-new-account-invalid with the content of:
{{Fmbox
|id = mw-protectedpagetext
|type = warning
|image = none
|text = The user name "$2" ] from creation. The Misplaced Pages ] does not allow names that are greater than or equal to 40 characters in length, has the same character repeat more than 10 times in a row, or use certain invalid characters. Please select another username that complies with these restrictions, or if you need assistance, you may file a request at ].
}}
Which will display as:
| The user name "$2" has been blacklisted from creation. The Misplaced Pages software does not allow names that are greater than or equal to 40 characters in length, has the same character repeat more than 10 times in a row, or use certain invalid characters. Please select another username that complies with these restrictions, or if you need assistance, you may file a request at Misplaced Pages:Request an account. |
Then, please change:
.*(.)\1{10}.* <newaccountonly> # Disallows eleven or more of the same character repeated in usernames
.{40,} <newaccountonly>
To:
.*(.)\1{10}.* <newaccountonly|errmsg=titleblacklist-forbidden-new-account-invalid> # Disallows eleven or more of the same character repeated in usernames
.{40,} <newaccountonly|errmsg=titleblacklist-forbidden-new-account-invalid> # Disallows usernames of more than 40 characters
- Is there some background to this request? Any relevant discussion anywhere? Thanks — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 13:14, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
- MSGJ, nothing on-wiki itself. There has been a little discussion on IRC about changing one of the tool specific messages to include this reason. I came up with the idea as a solution to a perceived issue where I was trying to create an account via the ACC process and spent an hour trying to find out why the requested username was hitting the title blacklist before I found that little line limiting it to 40 characters (it was a long username request, but the UPOL says that is not a reason in of itself to decline/take action). I could have save a fair chunk of my volunteering time if this request was already in place. :) — {{U|Technical 13}} 13:23, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
