The associated page is used by the TitleBlacklist MediaWiki extension, and lists strings of regular expressions that may not be used as page titles or usernames on any Wikimedia projects. Any Meta-Wiki administrator or steward can edit this blacklist.

For more information on what the title blacklist is for, and the processes used here, please see Title blacklist/About.

Proposed additions[edit]

Symbol comment vote.svg This section is for proposing that a page title be blacklisted; add new entries at the bottom of the section. Provide links demonstrating widespread creation by multiple users or IP's. Completed requests will be marked as done or denied and archived.

Nazi-related misspellings[edit]

Firstly, even if the third sound in German words such as Nationalsozialismus is pronounced as a “z”, it is spelled with the letter “t”. Secondly, phonetic misspellings such as Nazionalsozialismus are stigmatized throughout the German-speaking area. Thirdly, some Romance languages, such as Italian and Romansh, spell the translations of “national” with a “z”, but those of “socialism” with a “c”. To prevent Nazi-related misspellings, I propose the addition of

.*nazionalsoz.*

to the title blacklist. See also: de:Nazionalsozialismus. --84.61.154.157 15:10, 4 August 2017 (UTC) --84.61.154.157 19:49, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

I believe that local wikis can manage this as required.  — billinghurst sDrewth 03:03, 5 August 2017 (UTC)

Proposed removals[edit]

Symbol comment vote.svg This section is for proposing that a title be unlisted; please add new entries at the bottom of the section. Remember to provide the specific title or regex blacklisted, links to the articles they are used in or useful to, and arguments in favour of unlisting. Completed requests will be marked as done or denied and archived. The addition or removal of a title is not a vote, please do not bold the first words in statements.

Troubleshooting and problems[edit]

Symbol comment vote.svg This section is for comments related to problems with the blacklist (such as incorrect syntax or entries not being blocked), or problems saving a page because of a blacklisted title. This is not the section to request that an entry be unlisted (see Proposed removals above).
