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.

Can you please add oof.* <newaccountonly> to the title blacklist because I was doing a quick wiki search and realize that almost every username that starts with "oof" has made an unconstructive edit.

My username[edit]

For new account only as there are a couple of gross attacks against me. I could have edited myself but I don't think I know regex enough so can someone help just not to break anything, much appreciated :) Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 13:22, 2 April 2020 (UTC)

Hey Sakretsu, can you please log this change when you get a chance? Thanks man! ~riley (talk) 22:20, 2 April 2020 (UTC)
Right, done. Thank you for the reminder :-)--Sakretsu (炸裂) 00:22, 3 April 2020 (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).
