[edit] Proposed additions

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.

[edit] German Strong Language

These seem to cause no collateral damage in other languages:

*.scheiß.*               <newaccountonly>
*.scheiss.*              <newaccountonly>
*.Arsch.*                <newaccountonly|casesensitive>
*.bl[ö|oe]d.*            <newaccountonly>
*.wi[xx|x|chs]e[nr].*    <newaccountonly>
*.pen[iìí1]s.*           <newaccountonly>
*.f[iìí1]ckt.*           <newaccountonly>
*.fäkal.*                <newaccountonly>
*.onani.*                <newaccountonly>
*.dreckfink.*            <newaccountonly>
*.lausige.*              <newaccountonly>
*.pädophil.*             <newaccountonly>

Useful only for insults:

*.ist ein.*              <newaccountonly
*.schwitzt beim.*        <newaccountonly>
*.ist schwul.*           <newaccountonly>

If no arguments against are risen in the next few days, I go and add them all to the list. --Barras 15:20, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi!

I reverted that. Be careful with the regexp syntax and with the german language. This list would e.g. block harmless names like "bleder", "hiwisender", "kiwisense", "wiser guy", "alchemist eins", onanier, ...

We can copy some of the de-TBL entries to this meta-TBL, but for anything else, I'd like to see evidence for vandalism. After that we can think of blacklisting of perticular parts. -- seth 14:16, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

The addition just blocked new accounts and not article names. Not sure if you know how many insulting names with the mentioned words above are created on other wikis. If there was anything wrong with the syntax, so I'm sorry. Please don't forget to log your done edit. Best --Barras 14:30, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi!

For regexp-syntax see php manual. For Seewolf is sure, that this won't harm other wikis, I'll move the following entries of de-TBL to this TBL:

.*[s$]che?(?-i:[Iiíıl](?:ß|[Ss$]{2})).* <newaccountonly>
.*f[iíıl]ck(?:e[rn]\b|t\b| d[ieo]).* <newaccountonly>
.*w[iíıl1](?:chs|x{1,3})[e3]?r.* <newaccountonly>
.*pen[iílı]s.* <newaccountonly>

Apart from that I'll add

.* ist schwul.*           <newaccountonly>

because I see the possible misuse.

But as I said, I'd like to have examples for the rest, so that 1. there can't anybody make a false accusation, calling us arbitrary and 2. we can create regexps which are more adequate. -- seth 17:44, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed removals

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.

[edit] Troubleshooting and problems

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).
