MediaWiki talk:Titleblacklist

Notes and help

See related discussion at MediaWiki talk:Usernameblacklist. Quick primer:

This extension works similarly to the Username Blacklist extension, except if a regular expression is not clarified as "newaccountonly", it will also block articles from being created with the specified expression.

Also of note is that exceptions to the blacklist can be added at MediaWiki:Titlewhitelist. The whitelist could be useful if you need to allow an article or user account to be created with a longer than name than the set maximum. Admin has initialized max username length at 25 characters; there is no set maximum for article names.

The blacklisting/whitelisting can also be applied to image/audio files, if need be, by assigning the 'reupload' attribute to the regular expression.

To be added

Fuk has to be added. Let's keep this section for members to put new blacklist terms. Intuitive Empath - Talk - Contributions 16:24, 14 December 2008 (EST)

• That could prove to be very fun. :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 19:59, 14 December 2008 (EST)

"Muh dic k" and "Semen". Intuitive Empath - Talk - Contributions 13:50, 20 December 2008 (EST)

• Once a username has been created, it cannot be added again by somebody else. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 14:03, 20 December 2008 (EST)

• • Should have "cock" been blocked from account creation? You should also consider putting RGS or something like that, since most of the new accounts have had it in the name. Intuitive Empath - Talk - Contributions 12:17, 21 December 2008 (EST)
    • I would have thought that new account would have been blocked. I'm not exactly sure how this page works. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 14:43, 21 December 2008 (EST)
      • Something related to case sensitivity perhaps? Intuitive Empath - Talk - Contributions 14:55, 21 December 2008 (EST)
      • "cock" wasn't blocked cause Admin set the blacklist to block that capitalized version "COCK" and made it case sensitive.--MiamiVolts (talk) 16:36, 21 December 2008 (EST)
        • So all that is needed is to remove the case sensitivity? Ok then, an admin has to that. Intuitive Empath - Talk - Contributions 18:09, 21 December 2008 (EST)
          • I will let Admin update it since I don't know much about the page or why it was made case sensitive in the first place. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 18:37, 21 December 2008 (EST)
• Couple other names/name bits that could pop up in the future, with that guy or some other vengeful person: Nazi and Klansman (and anything else that might be construed as having to do with the KKK) --SacValleyDweller (talk) 23:00, 29 December 2008 (EST)
  • I wondered how long would it be until this page was used again. Intuitive Empath - Talk - Contributions 10:31, 24 February 2009 (EST)
    • Ten with all its case variations should be blocked. Perhaps the numeral should also be blocked. Intuitive Empath - Talk - Contributions 16:55, 24 February 2009 (EST)
      • I don't want a lot of collateral damage by blocking what could be valid usernames. It's simple enough to just block him. He wastes more time switching IPs than we do blocking an account, so it's not a big deal. (Admin 17:10, 24 February 2009 (EST))
        • What are those letters mdj keeps using to bypass the list? Cyrillic characters? Intuitive Empath - Talk - Contributions 12:12, 3 September 2009 (EDT)
          • Apparently they are Slovak, Latin, and Esperanto. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 22:17, 3 September 2009 (EDT)

Question

I'd love to write a formal essay on the vandalism TheEvilNoob and Mdj brought to the wiki as a case study in trolling. Would anyone care to help by providing accounts? --Zelrio (talk) 03:51, 4 December 2015 (EST)

• No. They were just run of the mill trolls. We've had plenty over the years as does any site. There wasn't anything special about them. (Admin (talk) 04:31, 4 December 2015 (EST))
  • Ha ha! Other than generally using me as a target (which I don't mind too much) and my family (which really pisses me off), they were easily dealt with and, frankly, low-level vandals. We are pretty lucky here at Heroes Wiki that we really haven't had any major issues -- usually just spammers, and a few rather minor vandals. :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 21:50, 4 December 2015 (EST)
