Proposed additions[edit]
|
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.
|
Proposed removals[edit]
|
|
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]
|
|
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). |
Username blocked for some reason[edit]
Moving this conversation over as it pertains to title blocklists -Mohammed Sadat (WMDE) (talk) 13:36, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
I attempted to create an account with the username Styxlethe. I encountered the following error message: The username "Styxlethe" has been banned from creation. It matches the following disallowed titles list entry:
.*[XХҲ][yуýŷÿȳyӲ][iїйиҊuúùûüũůǔūǖǘǚǜŭųűъяёe].* <newaccountonly>So, uh, no letter y or e in usernames, i guess? St-xl-th- (talk) 19:08, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
