Blacklists

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki

Meta-Wiki is home to a number of blacklists.

Contents 1 Global blacklists 2 Local blacklists & whitelists 2.1 Local blacklists 2.2 Local whitelists 2.3 Other lists

[edit] Global blacklists

These are lists of various types of entities not allowed on any Wikimedia projects:

• Spam blacklist - A list of website links that are not accepted by the software. This is most likely the page you are looking for.

• Title blacklist - A list of page titles and usernames not allowed by the software. Local administrators are unaffected by this list.

[edit] Local blacklists & whitelists

While these specific pages only affect Meta, each project has its own version of this that administrators on that project may edit to customize site behavior.

[edit] Local blacklists

These are local-only versions of the above.

• MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist

• MediaWiki:Titleblacklist

• MediaWiki:Usernameblacklist (deprecated)

[edit] Local whitelists

Whitelists are specific exceptions to the above blacklists.

• MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist

• MediaWiki:Titlewhitelist

[edit] Other lists

• MediaWiki:Autoblock whitelist - IPs exempt from autoblocks when you block a username.

• MediaWiki:Captcha-addurl-whitelist - A list of website links that will not trigger the anti-spam captcha.

• MediaWiki:Bad image list - A list of specific images and the pages that they may be used on. The first pagename will be the image, subsequent pages are the page exceptions.

• MediaWiki:Robots.txt - Edits the Robots.txt file, which controls search engine and other bot access to various pages. (See article for details).
