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.
The blacklisting/whitelisting can also be applied to image/audio files, if need be, by assigning the 'reupload' attribute to the regular expression.
A list of the related warning messages to the Title Blacklist extension can be found here.--MiamiVolts (talk) 02:54, 1 December 2008 (EST)
