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. |
T238285 workaround[edit]
Bug T238285 has been resolved. Therefore let's remove this entry, currently disallowing titles and usernames ending with a semicolon:
# Until T238285 is fixed .*[^;];$

Troubleshooting and problems[edit]
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)
